similar to: Lattice: par.ylab.text alpha ?

I'm running windows xp, R 2.3.1 with maptools 0.6-6, I guess. When plotting from a large SpatialLinesDataFrame and using xlim & ylim to reduce the area, the plot axes automatically have the same scale size, even if xlim and ylim ranges differ. E.g.: tmp <- readShapeLines(filepath) plot(tmp,xlim=c(-126,-119),ylim=c(50,51)) The y-axis range is actually 47-54, same range as the x-axis.

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 _______________________________________________________

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'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

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!

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

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",

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

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, 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

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

Dear R-users, I am looking for suggestions on how to control the line-height for multi-line labels in lattice dotplot. In particular, in the dotplot produced by library(lattice) aa <- c('A'=10,'B\nb'=20,'C'=30) dotplot(aa) I would like to control the vertical separation between 'B' and 'b' in the second label on the y-axis. For multi-line axes

Dear all, I have the following data, which has \\n in place of \n. I introduced \n's in the csv file so that I could use it in barchart in lattice. When I did that and read it into R using read.csv, it read it as \\n. My question is how do I introduce "\n" in the middle of a long string of quoted text so that lattice can make multiline strips. Hitting Enter which is supposed to

I'm having trouble centering multi-line strip text in lattice. As the code below demonstrates bounding box of the text is centered within the strip, but the first line isn't centered in relation to the longer second line. The "adj" argument to par.strip.text doesn't seem to do much. Suggestions? a=data.frame( x=rep(1:10,2) ,y=rep(1:10,2) ,z=rep(c('First Line\nLonger

Hi There are new versions of the grid and lattice packages on CRAN: grid 0.2 and lattice 0.3-0 These packages are still _under development_ (they are in CRAN/src/contrib/Devel) There have been some bug fixes and, especially in lattice, there are lots of new features. Descriptions of the changes are included below. If you have any grid code, it may break under the new version because of a
