Hi all, I've got R for windows 2.3.1 I'm trying to modify my lattice histograms. The following does reset the y-label to blue, but I cannot turn off the label (alpha=0), nor shift label position (I'm assuming that is what lineheight is for). Is 'lineheight' the equivalent of 'line' in mtext? Am I erring somehow? Thanks!

hi all, It's not clear to me how (or if) I can pass multiple values for lty to a key in xyplot? I've tried: lines=list(lty=1:3), to no avail. Do I need to use something other than auto.key? (Deepayan, if you're out there, I have your book and must admit the answer isn't jumping out at me.) thanks in advance! Michael Folkes example code: #____________________________

Perhaps somebody could clarify for me if the following is a floating point matter or otherwise, and how am I to correct for it? > floor(100*.1) [1] 10 > 100*(1.0-.9) [1] 10 > floor(100*(1-0.9)) [1] 9 Thanks!

Hello all, After beating my head against the wall for a few hours, I give up. I have two problems. 1. If I use seq() to generate a POSIXct series that crosses a daylight savings to stardard time change I get two values for the first day of change. The time change is Nov 6,2011. The value for Nov 7 turns into 23:00 on Nov 6, thus two values for Nov 6. (see below) So I put a time value (noon)

Hello all, I'm hoping to convert a decimal value for week of the year back to a date object. Eg: strptime(paste(2010,1:52,sep=" "),format="%Y %W") I expected (hoped?) this would give me the date for Monday of each week. Instead, it's giving me 52 values of today's date. Where am I erring? Thanks Michael _______________________________________________________

I'm using RODBC to read an excel file (not mine!). But I'm struggling to find a way to preserve the column names that have a numeric value. sqlFetch() drops the value and calls them f1, f2, f3,... (ie field number). this is a different approach from read.csv, which will append "V" prior to the numeric column name. sqlFetch isn't so helpful. Is there a way to get the

Hello all, I've been using binconf (package Hmisc) at a range of alpha values and noticed that using the 'Wilson' method when alpha is larger (i.e. narrow CI), results in the upper value being smaller than the lower value. The 'exact' and 'asymptotic' methods give results in the realm I'd expect. But the help file suggests: "Following Agresti and Coull, the

I'm having trouble making contour lines for this attached, sparse dataset (low data:NA ratio!). Is it the high number of NA's, or funny layout of the densities, or something else that's causing this? This is a subsample of the dataset, and I get the same problem when using the full data. The only reason I get any contours is because I'm forcing specific levels. If no levels are

Hello all, I was under the (false?) assumption that an object that is class logical, would take up less memory than an object with class integer. Below am I correctly showing this is not the case? This was an attempt to reduce memory usage. I'm dealing with two large arrays (could be integers). Their contents are the exact same, but one has NA's in random locations. I thought instead

Hello all, In order to get the desired order of panels within lattice I realized I needed to define my factor levels. I now see how to properly do it (attached code), but: 1. I don't understand why I have to use factor() on a variable that is already a factor, and why levels() alone doesn't work to readjust the level order. 2. I just noticed that if I do use levels(xx$v1), it's

Hello all, I'm struggling with POSIXt objects. I've read the refman, the Rnews from 2001 and hopefully all the pertinent help pages. I'm running windows xp. It appears my time zone variable isn't set, which hopefully is fine for this exercise. > Sys.getenv("TZ") TZ "" help(as.POSIXct) states: "Dates without times are treated as being at midnight

Hello all, I'm struggling to grasp how I might use lapply() instead of looping to run approx() on a list consisting of multiple arrays - each of equal dimension. But simpler than that, I haven't been able to successfully apply approx() to an array, unless I loop through the third dimension and extract the matrix. See example code below... Any suggestions will be gratefully received. Thanks

I'm trying to fathom how to answer two example problems (3.3.2 & 3.3.3) in: Krishnamoorthy. 2006. "handbook of statistical distributions with applications" The first requires calculating single trial probability of success for a binomial distribution when we know: trial size=20, successes k=4, P(x<=k)=0.7 Appreciably all the binomial functions are requiring "prob",

Could somebody give me a pointer on how to generate a SpatialLinesDataFrame from a dataframe, that contains lat,long coordinates as separate variables. At the moment the data looks like this: lat long [1] 53.xxxx 1.xxxx where as the SpatialLinesDataFrame consists of Coordinates [1] (53.xxx, 1.xxx) This is probably a trival issue, but I'm a relatively new user and

Hello, I can build packages with R-2.8.0 but I cannot run the code: R CMD Rd2dvi --pdf --no-clean <pkg_name> =20 Error message: .: Can't open C:/Apps/R/R280/share/sh/dcf.sh: No such file or directory The system cannot find the path specified. =20 The above code works fine in R-2.7.2. =20 Comparing the bash script Rd2dvi.sh between R-2.7.2 and R-2.8.0 makes me think that the script is

Hi: Is there a way to get smoothScatter to not clip when I increase the xlim and ylim parameters? Consider the following example: set.seed(17) x1<-rnorm(100) x2<-rnorm(100) smoothScatter(x1,x2) #Now if I increase xlim and ylim notice that the plot seems to be clipped at the former xlim, and ylim boundaries: smoothScatter(x1,x2, xlim=c(-5,5), ylim=c(-5,5)) Thanks.

Hi, all. The lower bound in a barplot (or the left bound if you're making a horizontal barplot) is -0.01 no matter what. This causes problems if you're making a barplot of small values (say, < .001), as most of the plot is taken up with blank space beneath the axis, and the bars are squeezed in at the top. The fix seems to be simple: replace lines 41: xlim <- range(-0.01,

In plot(), when using option asp=1 the xlim and ylim have no effect because they are changed changed in order to fill the whole plot region. Is there a way to automatically set xlim and ylim when asp has been set to 1? For example: #This is a box of the plot ranges I want: boxxy=rbind(c(-1,2),c(-1,-1),c(1,-1),c(1,2),c(-1,2)) #Without asp=1 I get what I want (i.e. I can't see the box because it

Hello everyone, I am (happily) using ggplot2 for all my plotting now and I wondered is there is an easy way to specify xlim and ylim somewhere when using the ggplot syntax, as opposed to the qplot syntax. Eg. qplot(data=mtcars,y=wt, x=qsec,xlim=c(0,30)) <-> ggplot(mtcars, aes(y=wt, x=qsec)) + geom_point() + ??? Indeed the ggplot syntax is in general more flexible and powerful and
