Thanks a lot. setHook is Currently not in my knowledge set But it's great to save these Thing so I can look them up When I feel more comfortable. Just to add to that Stata versus R discussion : I believe, anyone who uses any other package than R, is probably missing out in the long run. It's truly unbelievable what has been done here. I feel like I fell asleep for 5 years ( by not using

Hi, Is there a way to incorporate an R object x to a file already containing R objects? It seems that 'save' is not capable to do this. If I save x to a file containing previously saved data, then I will lose this data. I use the funcion hsv in .Rprofile but it is recognized. Couriously, if I source .Rprofile when R is already running I do not get any error message. Thank you.

Hola! There is a nuisance that the number of directories with name starting Rtmp (and always empty) in my temp directory is increasing over time. I put the following in my .Rprofile: tmp0001 <- tempdir() setHook( packageEvent("base","onUnload"), function(...) unlink( tmp0001, recursive=TRUE) ) which solves part of the problem, but not all. So there are also

Hi folks, I note that in the general FAQ's we have 7.25 Why did my .Rprofile stop working when I updated R? Did you read the NEWS file? For functions that are not in the base package you need to specify the correct package namespace, since the code will be run before the packages are loaded. E.g., ps.options(horizontal = FALSE) help.start() needs to be

Hi all, several packages print messages during loading. How do I avoid to see them when the packages are in the defaultPackages? Here is an example. With this in ~/.Rprofile ,----[ ~/.Rprofile ] | old <- getOption("defaultPackages") | options(defaultPackages = c(old, "filehash")) | rm(old) `---- I get as last line when starting R: ,---- | filehash: Simple key-value

The package I'm working on can extract data from external packages but would otherwise have no dependency on them. However, I desire to be able to dispatch based on an external S3 class if its package is attached (.First.lib). My code is S4-based and its package has NAMESPACE. Registering the external class prior to the other package being attached doesn't seem to work so I am attempting

I think I did enough reading on my Own about startup ( part of the morning And most of this afternoon ) to not feel uncomfortable asking for confirmation of my understanding of this startup stuff. Obviously, the startup process is more complicated Than below but, for my R newbie purposes, It seems like I can think of the startup process as follows : Suppose my home directory =

R-devel has new versions of the X11(), png() and jpeg() devices on Unix-alikes. The intention is that these are used identically to the previous versions (which remain available) but will produce higher-quality output with more features. Pros: Antialiasing of text and lines (can be turned off) but no blurring of fills. Buffering of the X11 display and fast repainting from a backing image.

Many Japanese were troubled with the setting of the font. I added the following to .Rprofile first. setHook(packageEvent("grDevices", "onLoad"), function(...){ grDevices::quartzFonts(sans=grDevices::quartzFont( c("Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro W3", "Hiragino Kaku Gothic

Dear all I installed new version (from binaries) and I noticed that par(bg="white") which I have in my .Rprofile causes error message on startup But if I issued this command immediately after startup everything worked as expected. I did not see any note in changes file or elsewhere. Should I specify white background in .Rprofile differently? Or is there some other recommended way

Hi, after a debian upgrade my dev.copy2eps dont work anymore. I have this message: Error in matchFont(postscriptFonts(family)[[1]], old$encoding) : unknown font I try to change the font family in my .Rprofile: setHook(packageEvent("graphics", "onLoad"), function(...) { grDevices::ps.options(family="ComputerModern") } ) But it no fix

I'm using Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop 10.2 (SP2) on an HP 2133 (x86) mini-notebook. (There apparently are a LOT of bugs in 10.1!) I downloaded R-base from the openSuse 10.2 repository and was (finally) able to install it (after installing blas and gcc-fortran). I can start an R session and do computations. When I try to do any graphics using x11, I get the message: unable to load shared

Hello, I've looked in tools:::.install_packages for some sort of hook that would let packages developers point to further instructions after a package is installed. For example, some packages need to setup environment variables, ... Is there something I have missed ?

Hi, I am trying to find a way to automate production of page numbers in plots produced using the lattice package. To do this, I started playing around with setHook which works fine with vanilla plot, but the hook 'plot.new' doesn't appear to be relevant to the lattice package. I was wondering if there is a alternative someone can suggest for use with the lattice package. Example

Hi , I am running R from C using the interpreter . Now i execute detach("package:td", unload=TRUE) And I get the following error . Any idea what it means ? *** caught segfault *** address 0x102, cause 'memory not mapped' Traceback: 1: sys.parent() 2: sys.function(sys.parent()) 3: formals(sys.function(sys.parent())) 4: match.arg(event) 5: packageEvent(pkgname,

After upgrading to R 1.9.0, I started getting the following error on startup: Error: couldn't find function "ps.options" My .Rprofile file contains this line: ps.options(paper="letter",horizontal=F) If I type "source ~/.Rprofile" after R starts, it works just fine. Did something related to startup change in R 1.9.0? -akop

Hi, is there away to assure that a package is detached when R quits? I know about .Last(), but that requires the user to setup that function. What I am looking for is a way for the package to do this itself, without asking the user to edit "their" .Last(). From ?setHook I know that: "...when an R is finished, packages are not detached and namespaces are not unloaded, so

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

Hello, I'm adding a private library tree in my home directory by adding this to my ~/.Renviron: R_LIBS="~/R/library:${R_LIBS}" so that once in R: R> cat(Sys.getenv("R_LIBS"), "\n") ~/R/library:/usr/local/lib/R/site-library:/usr/lib/R/site-library:/usr/lib/R/library Is this the best way to proceed?

Good morning, we recently observed a problem with importing S3 generics from a foreign package (without namespace), defining a S3 method in a package _with_ namespace and the `cleanEx()' function which is automatically generated and executed before examples are run by R CMD check. To be more precise. Package `strucchange' defines a S3 generic sctest <- function(x, ...)
