Hi all I am not a C programmer, but I am trying to understand formatC to get consistent printing of reals to a given number of significant digits. Can someone please explain this to me? These first three give what I expect on reading ?formatC: > formatC(0.0059999, digits=2,format="fg",flag="#") [1] "0.0060" > formatC(0.59999,

Hi all After posting what follows, Duncan Murdoch suggested perhaps a bug in formatC, or an error on documentation. Any comments? In particular, bug, error or not, any ideas about how I can consistently get two significant figures to print? P. ---------- Original Message ---------- Hi all I am not a C programmer, but I am trying to understand formatC to get consistent printing of

I'm writing a load of output to a file using cat(...), but I can't work out how to turn off scientific notation for small numbers. When I originally tried this a while a go I ended up building up a string variable, which is rather clumsy...

Hello, A small problem I can't solve > p <- 0.0001 > p [1] 1e-04 How can I force the printout of p to 0.0001? I have tried 'format', 'round', 'signif', 'print' in different combinations without success. Fredrik Lundgren

I do not know if this is a bug or a case of improper documentation. The documentation for formatC() implies that the difference between the options format="f" and format="g" is that with "g", scientific format is sometimes used. There is another difference between them that is not mentioned in the documentation. drop0trailing=FALSE is ignored when format is set to

Hi All, When I run the following code, I cannot see the entire number. As opposed to seeing 1,000,000,000. I only see 000,000 because the rest is cut off. The cex option doesn't seem to be doing anything at all. y<-seq(1e09,5e09,1e09); plot(1:5,y,ylab='',yaxt='n' ); axis(2, at=y, labels=formatC(y,big.mark=",",format="fg"),las=2,cex=0.1); Any thoughts?

Hi All, I'm trying to create labels to plot such that it doesn't show up as scientific notation. So for example how do I get R to show 1e06 as $1,000,000. I was wondering if there was a single function which allows you to do that, the same way that as.Date() allows you to show in date format on a plot.

Hi (If you're wondering, this is a Project Euler question :)) If I wanted to calculate the sum of the digits in the decimal representation of 2^1000, what would be a good way to go about that? I've tried the following methods: # Calculate the sum of digits in the decimal representation of 2^n # Only works for smaller values of n bsum <- function(n) { s <- 0 e <-

Hello! I am producing a set of images and I would like them to be sorted by names I give. I was able to produce my names and add integer to them. That is easy. But my problem lies in sort of file from this process: figure_10.png figure_11.png figure_12.png ... figure_1.png figure_20.png ... So I would like to convert integers to something like 01 if upper limit for this conert is 10 or 001

Hi, Would there be a function and/or some options to force R to write a value of say 1.0e-4 as "0.0001"? More specifically I want to use R to write ASCII file(s) for other programs to read and some of these programs don't know how to deal numbers in scientific notation or have a different convention. Thanks in advance. Yves Gauvreau B.E.F.P. Universit? du Qu?bec ? Montr?al cyg at

I am reading into Java dput output for a matrix, more specifically for a file backed big-matrix. I basically need to lift dimnames for a matrix from dput output. It's no big deal, but the code is very 'hackish' due to the need to get rid of quotes, endlines, parenthesis, etc. I was wondering if i could manipulate to an extent dput output with some options that define it, for example,

Dear R users, I used plot() and mtext() functions to draw a plot. The numbers: 0,20,35, 40,60,80,100 were in the vertical direction. I'd like to transfer them into the horizontal direction. plot(0,0,xaxt="n",type="n", ylim=c(0,100)) mtext("35",side=2,at=35) Any suggestion? Thanks. Rebecca [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi Tim, I have also asked a similar question a couple of months ago, and someone else did the same recently, maybe on r-devel. We received no "official" response, but Deepayan Sarkar (R Core Team member) claimed that: " There is no documented reason for this to work (AFAIK), so again, I would guess this is a side-effect of the implementation, and not a API feature you should

Hi R forum, Each row of my data (below) show a new contact event between animals. In order to ultimately look at the patterns of intervals between contacts, I need to calculate a contact end time. The contact starts at the date and time shown in V4 and V5, and lasts for the duration shown IN SECONDS in V6: > data2<- read.csv(file=file.choose(), header=F, sep=" ") >

Full_Name: Frederic Schutz Version: 1.6.1 OS: Linux Submission from: (NULL) (128.250.252.193) The result of the following commands: > formatC(9.9, 1, format="fg") [1] "1e+01" > formatC(99.9, 1, format="fg") [1] "1e+02" does not seem to be coherent with what the help page says: > format: equal to `"d"' (for integers),

I probably need to be more specific. What confuses me is not the use of substitute, but the parenthesis after the dots. It clearly works and I can make guesses as to why but it is definitely not obvious. The following function gives the same final result but I can understand what is happening. dots <- function (...) { exprs <- substitute(list(...)) as.list(exprs[-1]) } In the

Vectorize is defined to return a function that acts as if 'mapply' was called. So we have: > mapply(dput,1:2) # mapply form 1L # calls dput on each element of 1:2 2L [1] 1 2 > Vectorize(dput)(1:2) # Vectorize form 1L # same behavior 2L [1] 1 2 Same thing with a named argument: >

Thanks Dimitris!!! That's much clearer now. Still have a lot of work to do this weekend to understand every bit but your code will prove very useful.
