I am (desperately) trying to get used to using a Mac here at my new location. (Why *anyone* would ever use anything other than Linux, except under duress as I am, totally escapes me, but that's another story.) Fortunately much of the Mac OSX is actually Unix, so a civilized person can manage to carry on ... But there are some things. (Like this <expletive deleted> mailer ... But

Hi, In the FAQ for Mac http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/RMacOSX-FAQ.html there is 7.2 Saving the image You can can (???) the content of the quartz device window into a PDF file. This is not explained! This is a very simple way to export high quality graphics from R into other applications on Mac OS X graphics is PDF based (so are almost all applications available). However, this process

Dear r-devel-opers, I'm working on a package that does some plot-intensive work using the animation library. It turns out that this performs very badly in the RStudio plot device, which is the preferred IDE for our team. Our kludgy solution is to detect if the Rstudio device is running, and if so, open another plot device to do the rendering and close it when done:

I've downloaded R and started going through Appendix A in the R-intro manual. When I use the plox command I expect to see a graphics window, but there is none. I've searched the help archives and found that it might go to a ps file? Can someone help me get the graphics window working? Kind Regards, Carolyn [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I've built a version of RAqua that uses X11 TclTk and NOT AquaTclTk. http://www.economia.unimi.it/R/RAquaX11.dmg (15 MB disk image) The idea is that you: launch RAqua, launch X application (the X Server), and from inside R type x11() # just tt set DISPLAY to :0.0. Eventually close this window device, we don't need this. load(tcltk) quartz() demo(tkdensity) It works on my Panther

Hello all, I am using quartz (on OS X obviously) to produce PDFs and PNGs from my plots, for later inclusion in LaTeX. I am typically using something like: plot(0) dev.print(quartz, file="foo.pdf", width=5, height=3) dev.print(quartz, file="foo.png", width=5, height=3, dpi=72) I want the sizes of the PDF and PNG to be *equal* in *inches*, which works with dpi=72. However,

Hi All. I am getting a rather odd error using R 2.2.0 on Suse Linux 10. I write R scripts in the text editor Kate and then execute them using e.g >source ("timecourse_il4.r") in R. I have been moving these scripts between a linux box and a Mac and for that reason have a line quartz(display="", width=7, height=7)# set quartz graphics window size for linux change this to

Hello all, I discovered that the pdf device uses fonts to represent "points" symbols (as in plot(...,type="p",...) ). Namely it uses ZapfDingbats with symbol U+25cf. This can lead to problems when the font is not available, or available in another version (such as points being replaced by other symbols, or worst: slightly displaced). Furthermore, it also causes

The function wtd.var(x,w) in Hmisc calculates the weighted variance of x where w are the weights. It appears to me that wtd.var(x,w) = var(x) if all of the weights are equal, but this does not appear to be the case. Can someone point out to me where I am going wrong here? Thanks.

Dear List, I am trying to get R's terminal output to a file and to the terminal at the same time, so that I can walk through some tests and keep a log concurrently. The function 'sink' with the option split=TRUE seems to do just that. It works fine for most output but for objects of class htest, the terminal output is incomplete (the lines are there but empty). Here is an

Hi, Iwrote 'pdfc' in analogy to 'lpr': pdfc <- function (file = "Rplot.pdf") { current.device <- dev.cur() dev.off(dev.copy(device = pdf, file = file, ...)) dev.set(current.device) print(paste(file, "generated.")) } lpr <- function (object, file = "Rplotlpr.ps", ...) { if (missing(object)) { current.device <-

Hi everyone, Hi ggplot users in particular, ggplot makes it very easy to plot things given their names when you use it interactively (and therefore can provide the names of the columns). qplot(x,foo,data=A) where A has columns (x,y,foo,bar) for example but I would like to use this from inside a function to which the name of the column is given. I cannot find an elegant way to make this

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

Dear Lists, At several stations distributed regularly in space[1], we sampled repeatedly (4 times) the abundance of organisms and measured environmental parameters. I now want to compare the spatial distribution of various species (and test wether they differ or not), or to compare the distribution of a particular organism with the distribution of some environmental variable.

Dear all I want to display 4 dimensional space by some suitable way. I searched CRAN and found miscellaneous 3 dim graphics packages which I maybe can modify but anyway I am open to any hint how to efficiently display data like: longitude, latitude, height, value Thank you Petr Pikal petr.pikal at precheza.cz

Hi, I need some help figuring out how to save or copy graphs I've created in the Quartz screen. I'm using a Mac, Mountain Lion OS, and have version 2.15.2. When I save a graphic, the process either crashes R, or if it saves the file, when I open it, it is a blank file or I get an error message that says "The file Rplot.pdf could not be opened." When I try to copy the graphic

Hello everybody, This is probably a classic but I cannot find an answer to this on the mailing list (i.e. with a google search restricted to the mailing list archive). Setting: par(new=T) plot(x,y) works but plot(x,y,new=T) doesn't while it is said in plot's help that ... arguments are passed to par. What am I missing? JiHO --- http://jo.irisson.free.fr/
