Dear All, Hope I am not bumping into a FAQ, but so far my online search has been fruitless I need to read some data file using R. I am using the (I think) standard command: data_150<-read.table("y_complete06000", header=FALSE) where y_complete06000 is a 6000 by 40 table of numbers. I am puzzled at the fact that R is taking several minutes to read this file. First I thought it may

Dear list, I have produced a fairly intricate plot arrangement for use in a publication using layout() and gridBase, and out of curiosity I'd like to learn whether a more elegant and robust solution could be obtained with grid to avoid the layout() function. > library(gridBase) > x <- seq(-pi, pi, length=10) > y <- cos(x) > > par(mar = c(0, 0, 0, 0), pty =

All, I have a simple plot(x,y) and I would like to then insert rectangles of some length (in native coordinates) and height fixed to 0.5 in native coordinates. I can't quite get the code right to do this. Can anyone give me a quick example of how to do this? I looked the gridBase index and the tutorial (from R-news?) but just haven't gotten it down yet. > plot(1:10,1:10)

Hello, I'm trying to follow the documentation of how to use gridBase, and I've reached the minimal code example below as my best effort. Can someone explain how to keep the column of boxplots on the same page as the rectangles (even though I've tried new = TRUE) ? Also, would it be hard / possible to match up the middle of each boxplot to the middle of each rectangle ?

Hello all, I'm trying to write a function using the gridBase package. I'd like to push several base subplots to a larger plot constructed with grid. However, I'm having trouble getting consistent results when running the function when the plotting window (quartz) is closed, when it is left open and the plot function is repeated to the same window, and when the output is saved to a

I am setting up base plots -- one in viewport A and and one in B. This part works fine. But if I go back to A after having done B and add horizontal lines it seems to not use the correct coordinates. How do I tell it to resume using A's coordinates? I am already using par(fig = gridFIG()) but it seems that that's not enough to reestablish them. What happens is that when I go back to

Hi again! I put this question in another topics post before but I fear it might drown there. Is it possible to have transparent / alpha blended colors for pie charts? I am using the pies in a map of pies and those pies are sometimes overlapping so it would be great to see if another pie lies beneath. Thanks, Werner

Apologies for the previous mail (I sent it off too early by mistake). This is the correct example: rm(list=ls()) D_mean<-seq(-5,5,length=100) y<-exp(-D_mean^2/5) pdf("my.pdf") plot(D_mean,y,type="l",yaxt="n",lty=2,lwd=2,col="black", ylab = list(expression(paste(dN/dlogD[agg]," ["*cm^-3*"]"))), xlab = expression(paste(D[agg],"

Dear all, I have a simple plot using "gridBase" like this. The problem occurs whenever I execute this code there is always a blank page created before the actual plot. How can we disable that blank page? I am using: R version 2.7.2 (2008-08-25) and gridBase version: 0.4-3 __ BEGIN__ library(grid) library(gridBase) opar <- par(no.readonly=TRUE) par(opar) grid.newpage()

I would like to use gridBase to place four separate heatmaps (actually, a stripped-down heatmap.2 from ght gregmisc package that contains only the "image" part) into four different viewports. I can get the placement correct, but I keep 'losing' the previous plot. Any suggestions? Here is some quick example code trying to put a heatmap into the left viewport and then

I am running R 2.2.1 on a University-supported linux installation based on Redhat EL3. I am sorry that it did not occur to me to mention this before; I updated R very recently, with the most recent version available for EL3 at http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/bin/linux/redhat/el3/. Looking at the gridBase documentation, I find that 2.2.1 is not in fact the most recent version. I have now spent

Hello, I am having trouble adding symbols to grid graphics. I am able to create a lattice scatterplot using xyplot, which has a range from -15:15 in both the X and Y directions. However, when I try to add circles and text to this graph using grid.circle() and grid.text(), they are offset using the default npc coordinates. Nothing happens when I pass the parameter default.units="native"

Hi, I am trying to create a plot with pairs() using a gplot.hexbin() for each pair. For pairs I can provide a custom upperPanel function: pairs(iris[1:4], panel=mypanel) and mypanel() calls plot.hexbin(): library(hexbin) # Bioconductor mypanel <- function(x, ...){ hb <- hexbin(x) plot(hb) } The problem is that gplot.hexbin() is based on the

Hi, Why does the upper left panel (in the plot below) not have a gray background? Cheers, Marius require(grid) require(gridBase) pdf(file="Rplot.pdf", width=8, height=8, onefile=FALSE) ## set up the grid layout gl <- grid.layout(5, 5, widths=unit(c(1.8, 8, 0.8, 8, 0.8), "cm"), heights=unit(c(0.8, 8, 0.8, 8, 1.5), "cm")) if(FALSE) grid.show.layout(gl)

System info: Red Hat 9.0 R Version 1.8.0 ESS 5.1.21 Emacs 21.2.1 ------------------- Hello I've been working with Paul Murrell here in New Zealand to develop plots of temperature and density profiles at 22 stations spanning a frontal zxone, and then overlaying the isothermal and mixed layer depths (similar to Kara et al. 2003 JGR Oceans 108(C3) pg. 24-5, figure 2).

Hi, I am having trouble plotting a series of dendrograms using lattice and grid code as found in Paul Murrells book R Graphics. This is the error message I recieve: Error in downViewport.vpPath(vpPathDirect(name), strict, recording = recording) : Viewport 'plot1.panel.1.1.off.vp' was not found I have attached the code and also my data file. Should anyone have any suggestions then

Hi all -- So I'm trying to use lattice graphics, but I want to use a sunflower plot, which doesn't seem to be part of lattice. No problem, I put together the following code, which mostly works -- *except* for the first graph it generates. If it opens the graphic device, then it draws the xygrid, clears the device, then draws the sunflowerplot. All subsequent output operations work

Hello, I am currently trying to show the abundance of two species of zooplankton within the North Sea as pie chart bubble plots. I followed Werner Wernersen's advice in R help (http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/48644.html) and used Paul Murrell's paper "Integrating Grid Graphics Output with Base Graphics Output" (in R News) to try and do this (using the gridBase
