similar to: Artifacts in pdf() of image() (w/o comments)

Dear r-helpers, I have two questions: (1) The following produces a pdf with artifacts. How do I prevent them? require(grDevices) imSize <- 200 lambda <- 10 theta <- 15 sigma <- 40 x <- 1:imSize x0 <- x / imSize -.5 freq = imSize/lambda # compute frequency from wavelength xf = x0 * freq * 2 * pi # convert X to radians: 0 -> ( 2*pi *

How does one define PDFs as yet undefined in R, such as the ex- gaussian, the sum of two RVs, one exponential, one Gaussian? The PDF would then be the convolution of an exponential PDF, dexp(), and a normal, dnorm(). Kindly cc me in your reply to r-help.

Dear r-helpers, When I do an xYplot and display the result in a JavaGD() window, the font is sans-serif (presumably Helvetica). When I send the figure to a pdf, I get a serif font (presumably times). How do I insure that the font in the pdf is indeed the default sans serif? > sessionInfo() R version 2.4.1 (2006-12-18) i386-apple-darwin8.8.1 locale: C attached base packages: [1]

Dear r-helpers, After updating to R version 2.2.1, 2005-12-20, powerpc-apple- darwin7.9.0 (from binary), JGR wouldn't launch. I then deleted everything I could find related to JGR, and reinstalled it from the latest binary. Both R and JGR are installed in /Applications/ \~LocalApps/mathStat/.

Dear R-helpers, I wasn't able to find out how to override the alphabetical ordering of the rows and columns in a vcd::mosaic plot. I would like to have them each ordered by numerical values in a different column of the data frame that contains the contingency data. I would be most grateful for a pointer toward the solution.
