similar to: hermite and Bezier splines

I'm trying to use R to determine the quality of a cubic Bezier curve approximation of an elliptical arc. I know the four control points and I want to compute (x,y) coordinates of many points on the curve. I can't find anything in either the base distribution or CRAN that does this; all the spline-related packages seem to be about *fitting* piecewise Bezier curves to a data set.

Hi dear all, I am wondering if there is a function existing in R that did the quadratic bezier curve interpolation? I hope to generate a bezier curve based on three sets of points: two end of the line and a control point. Thanks in advance.

Hi, Recently, I started taking a look at wobbly's source (I was interested in it's physics... ;-)) I noticed that GRID_WIDTH and GRID_HEIGHT were defined to be 4, and I wanted to see how the physics look like with grid sizes that aren't 4x4. I changed the defines to my new grid size, but unfortunately it didn't work. I investigated this "bug" (it's not exactly a bug

Thanks Mike. My data has longitude and latitude coords and I used distAB {clim.pact} then mst {ape} to calculate my minimum spanning tree. The nodes are telecoms sites from all over Australia. My goal is to determine the minimum cost of linking them via cabling, and I'm starting by calculating the distance "as the crow flies", but will probably eventually need to calculate the

The search at www.r-project.org mentioned a function "gauss.hermite{rmutil}". However, 'install.packages("rmutil")' produced, 'No package "rmutil" on CRAN.' How can I find the current status of "gauss.hermite" and "rmutil"? Thanks, Spencer Graves

Which function implements the piecewise cubic Hermite interpolation?

Hi, I am trying to find a function that returns simply the weights and points of an n point gauss hermite integeration, so that I can use them to fit a non-standard likelihood. I have found some documentation for the function 'gauss.hermite' written by jim lindley, but can't find the actual binary on CRAN I'm aware there are lots of functions like glmm, glmmML etc to fit mixed

Hi all, I am using the 'gaussHermite' function from the 'pracma' library ############ CODES ########### library(pracma) cc=gaussHermite(10) cc$x^2 cc$x^5 cc$x^4 ############ CODES ########### as far so good. However, it does NOT work for any NON integer values, say ############ CODES ########### cc$x^(2.5) cc$x^(-2.5) ############ CODES ########### But just think about it

Are there any functions available to calculate sunrise and sunset times for given latitude,longitude and dates? If not, I'll appreciatte any pointers to C code I could use/port. Thanks, Angel

Hello, I'm a grad. student in statistics and am looking for some information on how R draws its contours. I suspect you are using a Bezier spline. I have the C code but am curious about how it works.

Do you know if you can map in R? I have my minimum spanning tree, but as there are 1371 nodes (all over Australia) I'd like to be able to "graph" them as they actually would be on the map. Do you know if this is possible?

Hi all, I am trying to compile Rgraphiz on Windows 7 64bit with R-2.13.0. I have installed Rtools213.exe from [1]. The 64bit packages in [2] provided me with the 64 bit version of graphviz. After intalling the binary version Rgraphviz 1.30 (in 32bit) it complains (as expected) that: > library(Rgraphviz) Error: package 'Rgraphviz' is not installed for 'arch=x64' I

Hello everybody, I'm trying to understand how to draw a smoothed scatterplot on a geographic map with R. Have a dataframe with point locations (long, lat) and was able to simply plot these points on a shp map by using the maptools package. However, instead of having simply the raw points on the map, I would like to have a "smoothed" scatterplot of the same superimposed on the map.

Dear all, In an attempt to draw fill patterns in grid graphics, I have encountered a behavior of grobX that I cannot understand from the documentation. Consider this, library(grid) ## gTree g1 <- gTree(children=gList( rectGrob(0.5,0.5, width=unit(0.8,"npc"), height=unit(2,"cm")), circleGrob(r=0.3)), vp=viewport(0.5,0.5)) ##

I have the following data table: [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [1,] 2575 1927 1754 581 354 [2,] 1156 810 730 541 237 [3,] 417 297 199 125 110 [4,] 281 132 132 47 58 [5,] 152 84 87 54 19 Each column represents a time interval expressed in nano-seconds Each row represents an energy interval expressed m=n MeV Each table value represents the average gamma rays intensity

I am having a problem using two DLLs with the same name, but obviously located in different directories, in an R session. The troublesome package is the (Bioconductor) Rgraphviz package. It relies on (3rd party software) graphviz and imports functions from (Bioconductor) package graph. Unfortunately, the current stable release of graphviz for Windows

Is there documentation on R limits? That is, max matrix size, etc.? Diagnostics when limits are exceeded are not always meaningful. For example: > x <- rep(0,50000*50000) Error in rep(0, 50000 * 50000) : invalid 'times' argument In addition: Warning message: In as.vector(data) : NAs introduced by coercion Here's another example: > library(orthopolynom) > hermite <-

Can someone help me out with a "small" problem? I've started using netcdf files recently, and I want to extract the grid id and also the coordinates from a HIRHAM netcdf file. I know how to extract a slice of dataset both in space and in time and I also know the area that this file should cover, however I have no idea regarding the reference for both LAT/LON and RLAT/RLON. I tried

Can anyone help me on how to get the nodes and weights of the adaptive quadrature using R. Best wishes Boikanyo. ----- The University of Glasgow, charity number SC004401

summary: I can display a lon-lat map on a lattice::layerplot, and I can display a Lambert conformal conic (LCC) map on a spam::image, but I can't display an LCC map on a lattice::layerplot. Example follows. What am I doing wrong? details: I've been using `lattice` (via `rasterVis`) successfully to display global atmospheric data, which works well enough (though I am definitely intrigued
