Hi, I made a package on a linux box. All worked fine. The package contains only R code (no C). I then wanted to make a zip file so that I could test the package on a windows machine. I have tried all the obvious ways to do this (and even some that are not!), but to no avail. The only instructions I find about building packages for windows (e.g. mypkg.zip) seem to imply that the build be done

Hi, I ran into an odd problem with the print command for R-2.0 on a windows machine. The icelandic character thorn (??,??) which is included in in the Latin-1 character set [iso/8859-1 char# 222 (upper case) and #254 (lower case)] prints out incorrectly. Instead of getting the correct character I get the octal codes for upper and lower case thorn (\336 or \376). This only happens on a windows

I recently installed Mandrake 10.1 on my laptop, downloaded the latest version of R, compiled it and ran it. To my surprise I discovered that the X11() command returned an error to the effect that X was not available. Examining R config.log I noticed that there were several complaints about X and tcl in there. Basic include files, such as X11/X.h were not found. I have previously compiled

I recently wrote a package that runs on both Linux and Windows. The functions fetch data to an SQL database and make diverse plots, usually with many labels and annotations. I recently noticed that on SOME windows computers the fonts in the plots were too large, which caused labels to overlap. On other windows computers this does not happen. However on both computers the command

Hi, I just updated to R-2.1.1 and updated packages acordingly However, after the update, routines that use polar.plot did not function as correctly. In plotrix 1.3.3 the polar.plot function does scale label.pos to radians prior to calling radial.plot Hence, the command polar.plot(c(5,10,5,0),c(-10,0,10,20),rp.type='P',

Hi, I am trying to understand the behaviour of the plot function. If I have novdate <- as.Date("2001/11/1") + (0:29) y <- 1:30 b <- data.frame(novdate,y) then plot(b$novdate,b$y) will produce a plot where the x-ticmarks are given as dates (Nov 04, Nov 09 etc), but plot(b) will produce a plot where the x-tickmars are integer values (#day since Jan 1st 1970) In the first

I have corrected a typo in my previous posting. In what follows the line with the inequality is correct Hi , I have two sorted vectors X and Xi, where the range of Xi lies within the range of X. For an element in Xi, I want to find the neigbouring data in X, e.g. find an index ix so that for element number k, then X[ix[k]] < Xi[k] < X[ix[k] +1] # also OK with "<=" on either

Hi , I have two sorted vectors X and Xi, where the range of Xi lies within the range of X.

Hi, I am trying to read in weather balloon data, where each file has a header of fixed length and a trailing section of a fixed length. The data section (the table) is of variable length. An example of the data is on: http://weather.uwyo.edu/cgi-bin/sounding?region=naconf&TYPE=TEXT%3ALIST&YEAR=2011&MONTH=06&FROM=1400&TO=1400&STNM=04018 This data has 97 rows and can be

This is a follow-up on my initial posts regarding character encodings on Windows (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2017-August/074728.html) and Patrick Perry's reply (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2017-August/074830.html) in particular (thank you for the links and the bug report!). My initial posts were quite chaotic (and partly wrong), so I am trying to clear things up a

I use R 2.3.0 under windows. > Sys.getlocale() [1] "LC_COLLATE=Chinese_People's Republic of China.936;LC_CTYPE=Chinese_People's Republic of China.936;LC_MONETARY=Chinese_People's Republic of China.936;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=Chinese_People's Republic of China.936" > localeToCharset() [1] "CP936" Now I want to use JGR,which uses UTF-8 encoding. So when I use

I just installed R 2.8.1 on Windows XP. When I ran the "source" command, I got the error: Error in capabilities("iconv") : 1 argument passed to .Internal(capabilities) which requires 0 I looked at the code for source and it indeed has a call to capabilities("iconv") if (capabilities("iconv")) { if (identical(encoding, "unknown"))

Hello every one Working under Windows Xp in French, and R version 2.4.0 (and : > localeToCharset() : "ISO8859-1" ) I am trying to source a file with basic commands. source("R files/InputFile Analysis (Calculs et mises à l'échelle - gestion des pb d'unités).r") and it works fine as long as I do not use command like these ones :

Thank you!. My apologies again for not including the console output in my message before. I sent another e-mail with the output in the meantime, so it should be a bit clearer now, what I am seeing. In case I missed something, please let me know. Yes, I am using latin1 and cp1252 interchangebly here, mostly because Encoding() is reporting the encoding as "latin1". You presumed correctly

Some years ago I wrote a plotting routine that was run on both Linux & Windows computers. There were some differences in the way the plot looked from the windows device and the X11 device. To ensure consistency I used getOption("device")) and made some changes to the plotting if the windows device was being used. Using this routine again, years later, I now notice that

Hi, I have three matrices (X,Y,P) with the same dimension. The X,Y grid is regular and I want to perform linear interpolation to pick out certain points. In matlab appropriate call is something like Pout=interp2(X,Y,P,Xout,Yout, method="linear") where Xout and Yout are the locations where I want the Pout data (typically a different grid). (Scipy has this routine in

I am trying to plot a image where the x axis has the units of time. When I issue the image(x,y,z) command with x as a POSIXct object, it fails to put a time stamp on the x axis. Instead I get a warning "Incompatible methods" warning and no dates on my x axis. This example shows my problem: Rmat=t(matrix(data=rnorm(1:500),ncol=10,nrow=50)) tax=seq(ISOdate(2010,4,14,12,0,0),
