similar to: .Rprofile files (was R newbie configuration)

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 =

Dear List, I've tried to set default par() in .Rprofile by putting the following in the .First function: setHook(packageEvent("graphics", "onLoad"), function(...) {graphics::par(cex.axis=1.5, cex.lab=2, las=1)} ) My goal was to set par() defaults without opening a device everytime at startup. However, the next plot I create doesn't show these

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

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

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.

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

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 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

Sometimes I print out a package and read about it and there are sometimes nice examples that I would like to run myself. Is there a way to bring them into R from the package or are they only meant to be typed in manually ? If manual is the only way, that's fine. I was just checking whether there was a quicker way. Thanks. Mark

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 thought r-help let you attach asci files but I don't think it does now so below is a sample of my data set.

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

Dear all I do not usually post to R-devel, but I started to test R-2.5.0dev and encountered strange difference from 2.4.0 when loading Rgui under WXP. Both R builds are from CRAN executables and part of .Rprofile file is not executed in R-2.5.0. Here is my .Rprofile file contents --------------------------- options(chmhelp=TRUE) require(graphics) require(utils)

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

Thanks to Andy Liaw and prof.Ripley for their comments. I finally managed my function set work without need for proper installation. However I must try it sometimes. I got tools from http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/tools.zip but I did not install Pearl yet. I tried make pkg-fun which resulted in sequence of errors which I corrected according what I was told by screen and

Hi all I upgraded to 2.0.0 version and did everything as I used to do before. I installed windows binary, copy/paste other than bundled packages. I got e.g. > library(chron) Error in library(chron) : 'chron' is not a valid package -- installed < 2.0.0? so I loaded it from CRAN and everything worked OK except my own personal functions (they are not on CRAN). So I went

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

Does anyone know of a simple test in any R package that given a series of negative ones and positive ones ( no other values are possible in the series ) returns a test of whether the series is random or not. ( a test at each point would be good but I can use the apply function to implement that ) ? thanks.

Many thanks to all who responded to my cri de coeur: Charles Annis, John Bollinger, Petr Pikal, Brian Ripley, Duncan Murdoch, Dan Nordlund, and Richard Heiberger. (I don't think --- I hope --- I haven't missed anyone.) The essential solution to my problem was indeed to eliminate that @#@$#@$^#@ ``.txt'' extension from the filename. I.e. the file must be called
