Full_Name: Edward McNeil Version: 2.5.0 OS: Windows XP Submission from: (NULL) (203.170.234.5) This is a new bug introduced to R2.5.0. Scenario: If one of the data frames to merge contains two variables that have the same name, then the data in first variable (of the same name) is copied to the second variable in the resulting merged data frame. In R2.4.1, the second variable name is

Hi List, I have recently upgraded to opensuse10.2 and R 2.5 (compiled from source). Now, whenever I use plot the y-axis and labels are black blotches while x-axis and labels are fine. Using demo(graphics) this occurs with plot/boxplot/hist/pairs/coplot but not in the pie graphs and in the "The level of Interest in R" plot, which uses axis to define the y-axis. I presume this has to

Thanks to Edzer and Roger, I can now plot with increased font sizes. However, jpeg still does not reproduce these, nor does it show up in high quality. What I would like to do is produce some highresolution jpegs. Any help would be appreciated Thanx Herry R2.4 on Mandriva 10.2 linux.

The last thing that I read about it was: Steve Underwood [steveu@coppice.org] wrote on Sep 3: >> Is E&M designed to work with the E1 driver code? I think probably not. I >> had to fix some things to get proper access to the CAS signaling bits >> when I implemented MFC/R2... So, apparently he implemented it. I was trying to contact Steve, but he isn't answering me.

Hi List, I want replace characters within a vector. Outside R I could use sed, but I'd like to automate it in R. For example vectorx xxxyyz xxxyyza xxxyyzzb I want to change to: vectorx aaayyz aaayyza aaayyzzb The obvious replace command only deals with whole data entries? Any hints would be appreciated. Thanks Herry

Hi List, when loading library(rgl) I get error "RGL: GLX extension missing on server". I have Mesa and xgl installed, but xgl info sais its an highly experimental code. Does this mean I shouldn't bother for a while with opengl or are there alternatives? Any help appreciated Thanx Herry R 2.4.1 on x86_64 opensuse 10.2 Dr Alexander Herr - Herry Spatial and statistical analyst

Hi List, I am trying to read a large shapefile (~37,000 polys) using read.shape [winxp, 1gig ram, dellbox). I receive the following error: AppName: rgui.exe AppVer: 1.90.30412.0 ModName: maptools.dll ModVer: 1.90.30412.0 Offset: 0000309d The getinfo.shape returns info, and the shapefile is readable in arcmap. Any ideas on how to overcome this? Thanks Herry

Dear list, I am having troubles increasing the fontize when plotting a variogram{gstat} and its model (vgm) with plot and using jpeg(). Also the resolution in the jpeg call does not work. I am using R2.4 on Mandriva 10.2 linux. I can change fontsize with cex.axis in a normal plot, so I presume it has to do with plotting the variogram model. Any help on how to increase the font size and

Hi R people! :-) I am printing a table of percentages (P) and their 95% confidence interval half-widths (CI). I would like to (i) create a character string of P and CI that has the plus/minus character to the left of CI, then (ii) use write.csv to save that file with the P, CI and the special plus/minus character. I poured over the r-help archives and did not find advice on this. That

Dear R wizards: I believe some more font encoding info. some of the font encodings work, others do not: IsoLatin1, MacRoman, WinAnsi, and PDFDoc seem fine. AdobeStd, AdobeSym, ISOLatin2, ISOLatin9, and TeXtext seem broken, in that the resulting output file is silently corrupt. The font encoding error does not appear in the postscript device driver, and it works fine. It would be nice if

Hi Listers, Surely, I just have a mental block and there is a more elegant way of creating a summary count (other than extracing it from ftable). I''d like to create a new data.frame containing counts of spell by loc ie have three columns showing spell,loc,count. Below the data.frame... Any help appreciated Thanks Herry spell loc 101 Parts 1 102 Overall 2 105 Parts 1 106

Hi Herry, This is probably due to a call to strptime (or similar). No, it doesn't accept %Y-%m as a valid format. Maybe add a constant day to all the dates as that will work: dt<-list(ID=seq(1:24),month=rep(formatC(1:12,flag=0,width=2),2), year=sort(rep(2016:2017,12))) timelst<-paste(unlist(dt['year']),unlist(dt['month']),"01",sep="-")

Hi List, I am trying to plot a grid with an overlayed height. I have a dataframe with four variables: x,y,gridvalue,height. The dataframe has 2.5mio observations (ie grid points), I assign colors through the gridvalue using map_color_gradient thus producing: x,y,gridvalue,height,gridcol as variables of the dataframe. The grid dimensions are 1253 x 2001 (=2507253 data points). My attempts with

List, I am trying to extract summary statistics from a data frame with several variables (and NAs) into a dataframe with the columns: Variablename (ie the colnames of original data), mean, stdev, max, min, Valid N, Missing Values. Extracting the statistics is straightforward using stack and aggregate. However, I haven''t succeeded in obtaining the number of Missing Values. I can extract

Hi List, I am trying unsucessfully to modify the fontsize of lables in mosaic: require(vcd) mosaic(Titanic, pop=FALSE, labeling_args=list(rot_labels=c(bottom=90,top=90), set_varnames = c(Sex = "Gender"), gp_text=gpar(fontsize=20))) #can't get it to resize text tab <- ifelse(Titanic < 6, NA, Titanic) # it works for labeling_cells labeling_cells(text = tab,

Hi all, I want to check if this is a bug for which I should file a report. I am using R2.5.0 on OS X 10.4.9. When I invoke the data editor and when I change the values of individual cells, it seems to work as intended. However, when I try to delete/add a row/column, R.app crashes. I've attached the crash log. Best, -Nathan -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and

Full_Name: Victor Moreno Version: R2.5.0 OS: windows Submission from: (NULL) (68.40.63.169) This may not be a bug, but seems not yet documented. Some data.frames created with development version 2.5.0, when read in 2.4.1, show error: Error in dim.data.frame(chip23) : negative length vectors are not allowed A dump of the data.frame shows as last code: , row.names = as.integer(c(NA, -7269)),

Hi List, I am trying to write unsuccessfully to a logfile with cat. Here my example code: letters[1:5]->x logf<-"test.txt" cat('%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\n',file=logf) catf<-function(x,...,logfile='log.txt', append=TRUE){ cat(x,'\n', file=logfile, append=append)} testit<-function(x,...){ paste0('this is x: ',x)->y return(y)

Hi List, The following code returns an "Error in as.POSIXlt.character(x, tz, ...) : character string is not in a standard unambiguous format" require(raster) require(rts) require(stringi) r <- raster(ncol=100, nrow=100) values(r) <- runif(ncell(r)) list(ID=seq(1:24),month=rep(str_pad(1:12, pad = 0,width = 2 , "left"),2),year=sort(rep(2016:2017,12)))->dt

I want to put the "plus or minus" symbol into a character variable, so that this can be turned into a factor and be displayed in the "strip" of a faceted ggplot2 plot. A very nice solution, thanks to Professor Ripley's post of Nov 16, 2008; 3:13pm, visible at http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Symbols-to-use-in-text-td874239.html and subsequently
