I normally use the raster or clim.pact pckages to read netcdf (.nc) files. This has always worked out for me until this weekend every time i try to read a .nc file i get the following error Program: C:\Program Files\RStudio\bin\x64\rsession.exe File: posixio.c, Line 417 Expression: offset >= 0 This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.Please contact the

Hello all, I am trying to use "clim.pact" package for my work, but since this is the beginning for me to use gridded datasets in "R", I am having some trouble. I want to do seasonal analyses like trends, anomalies, variograms, EOF and probably kriging too to downscale my 1 degree gridded data to 0.5.  So, as a first step, I compiled my entire dataset (with 25

I am using levelplot() from lattice with grids that have unequal cell sizes. This means that the boundary between two cells is not always half-way between nodes, as levelplot() assumes. The result is that some cell sizes are rendered incorrectly, which can be painfully obvious if using relatively large cells. Is there any work-around? I am using the conditioning capability of lattice and

I installed R-2.1.0 from source on a Linux box running Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 4 but install.packages() wouldn't work (see below). When I install R-2.0.1 from RPM on the same system, everything is fine. Version 2.1.0 (2005-04-18), ISBN 3-900051-07-0 . . . > options(CRAN = "http://cran.fhcrc.org/") > install.packages("rgenoud") --- Please select a CRAN

R-2.2.1 is still not available for Redhat Linux as an RPM on CRAN. It is available as an SRPM. Can someone fill me in on why it takes so long to make RPMs available? I would be happy to help make the RPMs for el4 and el3 if such help is needed. Regards, Scott Waichler Pacific Northwest National Laboratory scott.waichler _at_ pnl.gov

I would like to use a map or aerial photo as a background to plotting solid lines and text, and semi-transparent color contours, in base and lattice graphics. Plot coordinates need to be consistent with the georeferenced background. For example, a color contour plot would have an gray-toned aerial photograph as a background for overprinted semi-transparent color contours of some spatially

I am trying to process text fields scanned in from a csv file that is output from the Windows database program FileMakerPro. The characters onscreen look like regular text, but R does not like their underlying binary form. For example, one of text fields contains a name and a number, but R recognizes the number as something other than what it appears to be in plain text. The character string

I have been using the sp package to deal with gridded data. I would like to know how to extract the vertices (x,y) of polygons that outline areas of like-valued cells in a grid. Here is a simple 3x3 grid: 2 2 1 1 2 1 1 1 3 x <- c(1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3) # define a 3 x 3 array of points y <- c(1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3) h <- SpatialPoints(cbind(x,y)) # make these an sp object of the points

I use some computers that run older versions of Redhat Linux such as EL3. RPMs for the current version of R are no longer provided via CRAN for these older operating system versions. How can I compile my own RPM for the current version of R, which I could then use to install R quickly and easily on multiple machines? Perhaps the answer to this would be a useful addition to the manual R

Hi, I'm trying to install rimage on a Mac OS X 10.4 machine. I followed the advice in previous R-help threads and got over the hurdles of having the header files in the right places, among other things. But I can't figure out what to do with this error. ice.pnl.gov:/home/waichler<949>system_profiler -detailLevel mini SPSoftwareDataType Software: System Software Overview:

I am looking for examples of how to plot with contour3d() to a PNG or PDF file, add axes and other elements to the isosurface plot, and use contour3d in conjunction with lattice. Regarding lattice, I'm not necessarily looking for conditioning on the data shown in the isosurface plots, just a way to show multiple plots in one figure and label them. I am new to the packages misc3d and rgl.

Hello, I would like to fill the rows of a Latex tabular environment with output from R, as in \begin{table} \caption{Table caption.} \label{tab:events} \begin{tabular}{c r r r r r} \hline <<echo=false,results=tex>>= fill.my.table.rows() @ \end{tabular} \end{table} Sweave produces the output inside \begin{Schunk} and \end{Schunk} commands, which latex doesn't

I would like to create a barchart that has vertical instead of horizontal bars. My goal is something similar to Figure 6.10 (p. 166) in "The Basics of S and S-plus," except for the orientation of the bars. I don't think bwplot() or xyplot() will work. Any suggestions?

I can't find a way to change just the panel background color in lattice. I would like NA regions in levelplot() to appear black. I've tried the trellis.par.set() stuff, but it it makes the background of the whole graphic black. Thanks, Scott Waichler Pacific Northwest National Laboratory scott.waichler _at _ pnl.gov

I have a script containing an xyplot() to print to a postscript file, followed by dev.off(). When I source the script, the dev.off() seems to cut off the xyplot() execution before it is finished. The resulting postscript file has about the right size, but it appears blank when I try to view it. If I manually execute the xyplot(), then wait for the return of the R prompt before executing

I would like to generate a vector having the same length as the number of rows in a matrix. The vector should contain an integer indicating the "group" of the row, where identical matrix rows are in a group, and a unique row has a unique integer. Thus, for a <- c(1,2) b <- c(1,3) c <- c(1,2) d <- c(1,2) e <- c(1,3) f <- c(2,1) mat <- rbind(a,b,c,d,e,f) I would

I am wondering if anyone might know why the package clim.pact won't install properly. I have tried many URL sites and the same thing happens. I get the error message below. I also tried downloading the ZIP from the CRAN site and extracting the file myself, but an error message (something like, "not an archive file") appears. I operate through Windows. Thanks. Gary Nelson.

I get faulty output from seq.dates() if I specify a length that is too long. For example, I ask for 129 months in the following call to the function, but it returns 131: > R.version.string [1] "R version 1.9.1, 2004-06-21" > startdatetime <- chron(dates="01/01/1995", times="00:00:00") > beg.month.datetimes <- seq.dates(from=startdatetime,

I can't get Emacs to automatically do syntax highlighting of Sweave files. I have followed Friedrich's suggestion for code to insert into my .emacs file. The complete section from my .emacs file is given below. When I load a *.Snw file, font is white until I press M-x, then the first code and document chunks get highlighted, but not the rest of the file. Latex and Noweb menus are

Some years ago when I used S-PLUS, I seem to remember, there was a discussion about a simple method of removing trailing spaces from vector elements. I'd be fairly sure the same would work in R, but I can't find any mention of anything like it in the R archives or with help.search(). There are ways I could do it with substring(), but I seem to remember there was something more elegant.
