Greetings: I wish to use a tcl/tk widget to ask for user-selected parameter values. My widget works ? it asks for and returns to my workspace the stuff I need. Here is a snippet of my code: ############################### OnOK <- function() { LOG.X <<- as.logical(as.character(tclvalue(log.X.buttonValue))) LOG.Y <<- as.logical(as.character(tclvalue(log.Y.buttonValue)))

Greetings, R-Helpers: A year ago or so I was able to use the non-ascii character ? in my TclTk. (You can type it on Windows as <alt>0226) I can use something like expression(hat(a)) elsewhere in R, but I seem to be doing something wrong when I try that syntax in TclTk. The widget will run but it displays something frightening like R-call_lang 019C8480 019A7724 where I expected to see ?.

Greetings R-ians: I know what doesn?t work but I don?t know why, nor how to remedy things. I have a character string containing "." which I want to replace with " " gsub(".", " ", file.label) replaces the every character with a blank. However gsub(".xls", " ", file.label) replaces ".xls" with a blank as expected. It appears

Greetings, R-ians: I would like to know which version or R was used to create a given package. I think I remember seeing that topic discussed recently but cannot find it among my notes. Can anyone tell me how to determine which version of R created a package? Thanks. Charles Annis, P.E. <mailto:Charles.Annis@StatisticalEngineering.com> Charles.Annis@StatisticalEngineering.com

Dear R-ians: I'm running R2.9.2 on a 6 year old Windows XP DELL with 2 Gig RAM and a 3MHz Pentium 4 chip. I've written a package using the User Menus Under Windows commands (winMenuAdd, etc). It works very well. I have 6 test cases and running any one of them requires many selections form the menus and some keyboard entry, and it takes me hours to exercise them all to see

Greetings: I'm running R2.6.2 on a WinXP DELL box with 2 gig RAM. I have created a new glm link function to be used with family = binomial. The function works (although any suggested improvements would be welcome), logit.FC <- function(POD.floor = 0, POD.ceiling =1) { if (POD.floor < 0 | POD.floor > 1) stop ("POD.floor must be between zero and one.") if

Greetings: This should be easy but it isn't. I have a home-brew package that works fine, with compiled html help pages, all 150 of them. I want to make a similar package but not from scratch since only a half-dozen routines are changed. So I created a new directory, copied the old package into it and changed the name to newSTUFF. I changed the names of all help pages too, as weill

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.

Dear R Helpers: I am trying to annotate a plot. The following code snippet works, but it is kind of a kludge since it adds the partial derivative symbols after creating the plotmath frac(). Is there a more elegant way to write a partial derivative? dev.off() plot(NA, xlim=c(-3,3), ylim=c(0,1.6), xlab="", ylab="", tck=-0.015) text(1.6, 1, expression(paste("slope =

Greetings, R-ians: I am sure I am missing something obvious. How do I provide a CITATION file for my home-brew package, so that it will be packaged using R CMD build --binary myPackage? I have placed a CITATION file in the myPackage directory along with the DESCRIPTION file, but it is ignored. Thanks for your guidance. Charles Annis, P.E. Charles.Annis at StatisticalEngineering.com

Dear R-Helpers: I'm running R version 2.8.1 on a 1 year old HP Pavilion with a AMD Athelon 64 Dual Core Processor 4800+ 2.50GHz chip, Vista Home Premium SP1, and 2 GB RAM. I can't add packages (even running as Administrator) because I can't connect to a CRAN mirror. > chooseCRANmirror() (After nearly a minute I see the menu, and after any selection I immediately see) Warning

Greetings R-Helpers: I am trying to help a Chinese colleague who is experiencing difficulty loading my package. He is running WindowsXP and the Chinese version of R2.8.1. As you can see from his screen-copy (below), my package is successfully unpacked but cannot be loaded because splines balks when attempted to be loaded. Package mh1823 requires package survival, which in turn requires

I have a vector, (not a list) > repeated.measures.FACTOR.names [1] "Insp1" "Insp2" "Insp3" "Insp4" "Insp5" "Insp6" "Insp7" "Insp8" "Insp9" and would like to convert this into a single string "Insp1,Insp2,Insp3,Insp4,Insp5,Insp6,Insp7,Insp8,Insp9" I can do that with a loop, but isn't there

Hello, I'm very much a newbie in R and more so in tcltk so apologies if this question is stupid. Basically I am trying to use the combobox example found here: http://bioinf.wehi.edu.au/~wettenhall/RTclTkExamples/DropDown.html . What I want to do is in that example get fruitChoice as a variable in R in general. When I run that code, however, and the ask for fruitChoice it says

Greetings, R-ians: I'm using R 2.3.1 on WindowsXP. I need to find the name of a file at the end of a sting that contains the path + file, with the problematic "\\" as separators. The string looks something like this: "C:\\Documents and Settings\\myName\\My Documents\\R Projects\\Project1\\file.name.csv" What I want is "file.name.csv" Currently I use the

Greetings, R-Helpers: I am trying to build a package on WinXP, something that I have done before, but infrequently, and have recently updated both the Rtools and the version of R being used. My test case fails after successfully creating the compiled html files with this error message: . . . Created c:\DOCUME~1\CHARLE~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\Rbuild142865646\March18\chm\March18.chm, 41,494

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()

Greetings, R-Citizens: I have the good fortune of working with a 19" 1280 X 1024 pixel monitor. My R-code produces nice-looking graphics on this machine but the same code results in crowded plots on an older machine with 800 X 600 resolution. In hindsight this seems obvious, but I didn't anticipate it. My code will be used on machines with varying graphics (and memory) capacity. Is

Greetings, Amigos: I have been trying without success to convert a character string, > repeated.measures.columns [1] "3,6,10" into c(3,6,10) for subsequent use. as.numeric(repeated.measures.columns) doesn't work (likely because of the commas) [1] NA Warning message: NAs introduced by coercion I've tried many things including strsplit(repeated.measures.columns, split =
