similar to: bringToTop without focus?

Currently (R-2.7.1 on Windows) bringToTop(stay=TRUE) when run before a device is opened, gives the error message > bringToTop(stay=TRUE) Error in bringToTop(stay = TRUE) : can only bring windows devices to the front > In the same circumstances, a call to par() opens a device. My request is to modify bringToTop(). If bringToTop() determines that it is running in an interactive

There is help for grDevices::bringToTop but the function is not present. > bringToTop() Error in bringToTop() : could not find function "bringToTop" > grDevices::bringToTop() Error: 'bringToTop' is not an exported object from 'namespace:grDevices' > getAnywhere(bringToTop) no object named ?bringToTop? was found # help output: > ?bringToTop bringToTop

Full_Name: Henrik Bengtsson Version: R v1.7.1 OS: WinXP Pro Submission from: (NULL) (130.235.2.229) bringToTop() does not work if some windows has been closed. Example: graphics.off() x11() # opens Figure 2 x11() # opens Figure 3 dev.set(2) dev.off() # closes Figure 2 bringToTop(3) # Gives an error # Error in bringToTop(as.integer(which)) : invalid value of `which'

It's a Windows-only function. It looks like revision r75103 moved it out of the Windows section of the help pages six years ago. Some other help pages were similarly moved, e.g. - ?windows and ?windowsFonts, document the functions as being Windows-only. - ?msgWindow and ?windows.options have the same issue as ?bringToTop. Maybe someone remembers the intention of that move...

hi, I use R - 2.15(32bit), and want to make a code to clear a console. Actually, I used to run following code to do that but after update the version of R from 2.14 to 2.15, it doesn't work. cls <- function (t) { require(RDCOMClient) wsh <- COMCreate("Wscript.Shell") wsh$SendKeys("\f") invisible(wsh) } cls() or cls <-

Hola! I have problems running Rcmd check (windows 98, R1.3.0) It ckoks on an example running a function which calla bringToTop(). This makes an error because Rcmd check runs the examples with the postscript device, and bringToTop does not make sense with that device. Howevere, my function is for interactive use, and needs bringToTop. How can this be used in examples and still have the

I?ve been using this routine for several years. I?m sorry, I don?t remember where I got it. It works as it should, viz. it blanks the R console. But it requires package rcom and now that requires rscproxy. cls <- function () { require(rcom) wsh <- comCreateObject("Wscript.Shell") comInvoke(wsh, "SendKeys", "\f") invisible(wsh) } > cls()

Dears, I've been learning biplot (Gabriel, 1971) and I found the function 'biplot', inside of the package 'stats', useful but, a bit limited. So, I'm thinking to start a colaborative package to enhance this methods to other multivariate methods. In this way, I would like to start it, making public a new function (biplot.pca, still in development, but running) that make

If I run the following: > windows() > > bringToTop(-1) > > interactive() [1] TRUE > > run <- readline(prompt = "Continue (Yes = 1, No = 2):") Continue (Yes = 1, No = 2): > dummy <- 1 > run [1] "" it does not allow user input though the session is interactive (it jumps right over the readline command). It would be great

Dear all, I have posted these questions in r-help list but since I am getting no reply, I concluded that I must asked my question in the wrong list so here I am! Here is my questions: 1- Under a WINDOWS installation of R-2.4.1, can we change the naming of a new ploting device open by the command "windows()"?. Instead of the default name e.g.: "Device 2" I would like

Greetings R-ians: Searching the Searchable Mail Archives I discovered that ctrl L will clear the Rgui screen, which is what I'd like to do from a print (or some similar) statement. Is there a mechanism to use the ctrl L clear-screen sequence in a script, or print statement? Thanks for your counsel. Charles Annis, P.E.

Hi, I was looking for a Windows-specific R function to focus the console window and couldn't find one. The motivation is that after loading the tcltk package, the "main" Tk window "." is presumably focused but then immediately withdrawn (hidden) so the RConsole loses its focus and you have to click on it to continue typing. Would there be any interest in including a

Dear Users, I have a little problem with assignment operator. It's working from command prompt but does not work same as in the command prompt in the function. Am I missing or forgetting something? The function is (tried on both 2.13.1 and 2.13.2) as below using arules and arulseViz packages: >kuralfonk function() { require(arules) require(arulesViz)

In R on Windows (ver 7) I have somehow set the preferences for the R console window to be always on top. I'm sure at the time I did this it seemed like a good idea, but in practice it is not. Unfortunately, I cannot remember where the setting is changed, and thus it is stuck this way. Does anyone know how to modify this setting? Thanks, -Robert Robert M. Flight, Ph.D. Bioinformatics and

Hi, I am an R beginner and wish to create some 3d plots. I have managed to install the rgl library and save 3d plots, but only as an R file. I wish to use rgl.snapshot so I can create a ".png" file and the plot can be used in LaTex. The function rgl.snapshot does not work (i get an error "failed" message). Having looked at previous posts, I believe that the problem can sorted

Hi, I have opened 2 different graphic devices on screen with windows(3) and Windows(4) (I already have had an other graphic on screen opened in device 2). Now device 3 is inactive and device 4 is active. How i can make device 3 active to plot in device 3 and after make device 4 active to have a different plot in it?? For what i am doing it is important to first open the graphic devices -

Hi all, can anyone please tell me what is the key-word to clear the screen? I am aware of the "cont+L", however I need some R-syntax, that can be typed into the console to clear the screen.   Thanks [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, perhaps the answer to my question is obvious and I didn?t find it because I?m new to R ... The problem is as follows: I read some data from file, do some commands which are well processed and finally make some graphics. OK Then I put these commands together in a *.R file which I can process ... Among these i. e. is sum_input = summary(mydatatable) sum_input ..... plot(mydatatable) What
