hi: where would I find facilities to draw circles, ovals, and semicircles? (or should I construct them myself using curve?) regards, /ivo

I ran into an interesting oddity of R, if (0) { print(1); } else { print(2); } is a syntax error, while if (0) { print(1); } else { print(2); } or if (0) { print(1); } else { print(2); } is not. I presume it has to do with the duality of the newline functioning as an end of command (;) character, though it still seems a bit odd, and it took me a while to figure out

Dear R wizards: under R-2.1.0: eargs <- 3:5; line <- paste(c("echo A B", eargs)); cat("executing from R: '", line, "'\n"); system(line); Oddly, only "A" and "B" are echoed, not the eargs. I had hoped that line would be one string at this point, and for printing this seems to be true. However, unlist(line) still gives me the 4

dear R wizards--- I would like to do some book-on-demand printing at a popular printer named lulu, but lulu requires inclusion even of the basic postscript fonts. Interestingly, my book itself does not need the 14 base acrobat fonts, only the embedded R figures do. Of course, I really would like to get pdftex to embed the fonts, but how to do this is not obvious either. [This method seems

dear wizards: my .Rprofile has just one command for testing, loadhistory("~/.Rhistory") but this gives me an error on R startup: Error: couldn't find function "loadhistory" Invoking loadhistory() as the first interactive command works fine; incidentally, I believe loadhistory() in the .Rprofile worked in earlier or other platform R releases, too. Is the .Rprofile

Dear R Wizards: Running R 1.9.1. on amd64.

hi: could someone please point me to a function that allows me to solve general non-linear functions? > irr.in <- function(r, c1, c2, c3 ) { return(c1+c2/(1+r) + c3/(1+r)^2); } > solve.nonlinear( irr.in, -100, 60, 70 ); 0.189 If someone has written an irr function, this would be helpful, too---though not difficult to write, either. thanks for any pointers. Regards, /iaw

dear R wizards: I would like to write a function that roughly places the equivalent of the following latex text into the current plot: \newcommand{ \placesigma }[4]{ \put(\#1,\#2){ \sigma_{A , #3} = #4 } I cannot figure out how to do this. I know I have to use a function that uses expressions in a text() invoke. But passing arguments and nesting strings and expressions has so far not

dear R wizards: is it possible to use a postscript font symbol as a plot symbol? in particular, I want to use the four postscript symbols for playing cards (club, heart, spade, diamond) as points. In LaTeX, these four are \Pisymbol{psy}{"A7} \Pisymbol{psy}{"A8} \Pisymbol{psy}{"A9} \Pisymbol{psy}{"A10} and what I would love to do is place them, at say, (x=1,y=1),

dear wizards: FYI: gentoo is a linux meta distribution, which compiles all packages. Once running, gentoo is stable on most applications. (it has some problems with system tools, such as grub.) the compiler is gcc 3.3.3. I do not expect anyone to track down for me why R fails on the gentoo amd64+gcc3.3.3 system, but I thought that it would be good to put it on the record to save

I think I've said it before, but I think such a book ought to coauthor Paul Johnson, whether or not he does any work beyond the Rtips web pages. A few of the tips may need a bit of

This has been in the R-admin manual for a least a week, and I reported it here earlier than that. R 2.0.0 alpha does not allow f2c on 64-bit platforms. It's all been dealt with quite awhile ago ....

Hello, this is a request for assistance that I submitted earlier, this time with the dataset. My mistake for taking up bandwidth. I've also rephrased the question to address an additional concern. I'm working on a windows XP machine with R 2.8.1 1). I'd like a barchart (or other lattice type display) HSI ~ of the three factors (Region, Scenario and HydroState). However

SAS * better manuals. * tech support for most universities contracted into the price, thus for researchers. * batch orientation. if you have to handle data sets that are as large as your memory, SAS generally does it better. It seems to be an "n-pass design." Years ago, when memory was expensive, I could not use S/R even for simple problems. Just a few simple operations, and I
