Hi, I have an array of 2d node locations and an array triangles, and would like to plot something like a image or persp. An example of doing it with rgl is: library(ncdf) library(rgl) # wget http://www.maplepark.com/~drf5n/extras/teapot.nc teapot<-open.ncdf("teapot.nc") z<-get.var.ncdf(teapot,"tris") l<-get.var.ncdf(teapot,"locations")

Hi, I'd like to partition a 2d probability density function into regions of equal probability. It is straightforward in the 1d case, like qnorm(seq(0,1,length=5)) but for 2d I'd need more constraints. Any suggestions for how to approach this? Is seems like a spatial sampling problem but I'm not sure where to look. Thanks for your time, Dave -- Dr. David Forrest drf at

Hi all, I'd like to quantize a variable to map it into a limited set of integers for use with a colormap. "image" and filled.contour" do this mapping inside somewhere, but I'd like to choose the colors for plotting a set of polygons. Is there a pre-existing function that does something like this well? i.e., is capable of using 'breaks'?

I don't want to gripe here, but I would like to know the best method for submitting suggestions and patches to the documentation. It looks like for many help items, we need to track from the html file which help.search("*")/help("*") presents, back to the authoritiative documentation file from which they are generated. It seems the installation process discards much of

Hi All, I'd like to plot something like http://www.nawcwpns.navy.mil/~weather/mugu/mesodata/analysis.html Looking through the galleries at http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/allgraph.php http://r-spatial.sourceforge.net/gallery/ http://fawn.unibw-hamburg.de/cgi-bin/Rwiki.pl?GraphGallery demo(graphics) I did not find a function to plot a 2d field on a matrix. I did find mention of a

Hi, I'd like to produce a marginless or zero margin plot so that the pixel coordinates represent the mathematics. xy<-data.frame(x=c(0,1,1,0,0),y=c(0,1,0,0,1)) png('junk.png',width=300,height=300) par(mar=c(0,0,0,0)) plot(xy$x,xy$y,xlim=c(0,1),ylim=c(,1)) dev.off() The resultant file has about a 10 pixel margin around these lines, and I'm not sure what parameter or function

Hi All In trying to correlate some tide gauge data I need to deal with varying timezones. From the documentation on strptime, it seemed that the tz variable might have some effect on the conversion, but I'm not seeing an effect. > strptime("20061201 1:02 PST",format="%Y%m%d %H:%M",tz="PST")+0 [1] "2006-12-01 01:02:00 EST" >

I have some disconnected boundary data from a finite element ocean model and I'd like to make a plot. Maptools looks promising, but since my data is not in a shapefile or a map, I'm unclear on what the best way to approach the problem. >geom[1:10,] lon lat depth 1 -75.42481 35.58192 16.172 2 -75.40726 35.58567 18.045 3 -75.41351 35.60312 17.333 4 -75.38888 35.58959

Suppose I have x<-data.frame(v1=1:4, v2=c(2,4,NA,7), v3=rep(1,4), v4=LETTERS[1:4],v5=rep('Z',4)) or a much larger frame, and I wish to test for and remove the constant numeric columns. I made: is.constant<-function(x){identical(min(x),max(x))} and apply(x,2,is.constant) # Works for numerics x[,-which(apply(x,2,is.constant))] I'd really like to be able to

The following code produces an eps file with the tops of each of the ylabs clipped off. par(mfrow=c(2,2)) plot(runif(10), ylab="Function(Lengthy Expression)",xlab="Prediction") plot(runif(10), ylab=expression(Delta * Beta^2),xlab="Prediction") plot(runif(10), ylab="Function(Lengthy Expression)",xlab="Prediction")

Is there a tool for reading a graphics file into an object? I might not be looking with the correct vocabulary, but I'm finding lots of references to producing graphics from R, but not any for inputting graphics into R. I'd like to use a jpeg image and have the data available in R for analysis. I could convert the image to another format, PPM perhaps, and parse that in, GRASS seems like

Hello all, It seems that the next improvement to the R Graph Gallery is categorization of the graphics, that way each graph will be easier to find. That step should be done *carefully* if we want to avoid the opposite side-effect : graph not reachable through the categories. That's why the wisdom of the R community is required. Graphics will be classified in : - categories -

Thanks for all the insightful responses that help me solve my problem. The original question is: how to call SAS from R The solution is as below: If my sas code, test.sas, is in directory c:\ncme06\sas codes, then the following codes works > system('"c:\\program files\\sas institute\\sas\\v8\\sas.exe" "c:\\ncme06\\sas codes\\test"') Things to notice: 1. need a

My friend Veslot proposed me the Raven ! http://www.teteamodeler.com/allopass/images/corbeau.jpg As a matter of fact the intelligence of this bird is comparable to one of a monkey, although its brain is close to a reptile brain. R is quite the same : small, compact, but so clever. This is a canadian website explaining (in french) the R-aven intelligence

I have a problem when using nnet to predict the negative values. For example : X = matrix(c(1,1,0,0,1,0,1,0),4,2) X Y = matrix(c(0,1,1,0)) - 0.5 # XOR - 0.5 Y nn = nnet(X,Y,size=3) val = predict(nn,X) val # this is expected to be close to Y, but it's not ! The 'val' is always positive. I tried to change the options, but the result isn't much better. Could someone give me an

I wish to perform brain surgery this afternoon at 4pm and don't know where to start. My background is the history of great statistician sports legends but I am willing to learn. I know there are courses and numerous books on brain surgery but I don't have the time for those. Please direct me to the appropriate HowTos, and be on standby for solving any problem I may encounter while

Hi, I failed to search for R package providing random number generator of "Park and Miller". Anyone know any R package supporting this kind of function?

even for people who didn't like the outcome of the US elections this year, it must have been a joy to see all the nice (and not so nice) graphs that were shown. As an exercise, I recreated the map shown on the NY-Times website [ http://www.nytimes.com/packages/khtml/2004/11/03/politics/ 20041103_px_ELECT_GRAPHIC.html ] If you're interested,
