I am stumbling into external font issues here and there. I presume using external lucida fonts is fairly rare, so I am more likely to stumble onto issues here. (of course, I often think I have stumbled onto bugs/features that are not.) So, I hope I am not imposing by reporting the following. [1] can R please not include fonts that it is not using? luafmfiles <-

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: 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 R wizards: Has anyone gotten the TeXtext font encoding to work? If I execute: if (is.null(postscriptFonts()$lucida)) { luafmfiles <- c("/usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/yandy/lubright/lbr.afm", "/usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/yandy/lubright/lbd.afm", "/usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/yandy/lubright/lbi.afm",

Hello, I have some Problems with getting WINE to print. I'm using wine on a non-Windows machine with Debian Potato. Everything works fine except printing. When I try to print something I always get something like "Printer not setup properly". The errormessage from wine is err:psdrv:PSDRV_AFMGetCharMetrics No whitespace found. My .wine/config -file looks like this: [parallelports]

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 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. Promise<- c(0,20,40); Expect<- c(0, 20, 0.2*20+.8*40 ); # this omits printing numbers on the axes labels. pdf(file = "bug.pdf" ); plot(Promise, Expect, type="b", ylim=c(0,60)); dev.off(); # this works postscript(file = "bug.eps" ); plot(Promise, Expect, type="b", ylim=c(0,60)); dev.off(); apologies if

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 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

Does anyone know why I am getting an error message about "insufficient memory" when I try to print from wine? I am running Lotus Notes 5.0.6. Thanks Richard

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 ....

This is release 20010216 of Wine, a free implementation of Windows on Unix. This is still a developers only release. There are many bugs and unimplemented features. Most applications still do not work correctly. Patches should be submitted to "wine-patches@winehq.com". Please don't forget to include a ChangeLog entry. WHAT'S NEW with Wine-20010216: (see ChangeLog for

The printing howto is a little vague in this area. How do I go about printing through ghostscript from windows? I know how to teach ghostscript to print the ttfs (generate the appropriate afms, add them to the fontmap). Where do I place the afms for wine to use? If I provide afms for each truetype font for wine, and then use a postscript printer ppd file, and set lpt1 to be |lpr, will this

suggestion: could the R team please add positions 5 through 8 for the arg parameter in text(), which would select the diagonals (northeast, southeast, southwest, northwest)? sincerely, /ivo welch PS: thanks for all the earlier circle help. knowing some of the predispositions of the R developers, I probably should not suggest adding to the documentation > ?circle please see
