Hello! Suppose I have three charts like below. The top chart is a general overview and the bottom charts are related so some point of this chart. To make clear this relationship I want to draw a line between (4,0.9) in the top chart and (10,1) in the bottom-left one. Currently I add it manually using Inkscape on the resulting pdf file. Is it possible to add it inside R? Should I switch to other

I've succeeded in running the wonderful charting program OziExplorer (3.85.3c), http://www.oziexplorer.com/ , on LINUX (RedHat 6.2) using WINE 20010112. The times to load the program and to load a map did take 5 to 8 times longer using WINE than they did using WIN95. I was able to enable the serial port and have the position computed by my GPS displayed on the chart. OziExplorer is a

Hi, As a long time Java/J2EE exponent I wanted to give Rails a fair crack of the whip and after we evaluated it for several weeks I have to say I like it. The installation process for the base system/framework is straightforward on the two platforms we''ve tried (Windows and Mac OS X). However, the charting components available, relying on ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick seem less clear

Hi all, This might be OT. Wondering what are available charting solutions that work well with Ruby on Rails. I''ve seen reference to a few but they all seem to rely on integration with a program written in another language (requiring a seperate process per chart), Perl''s GD module for instance. Is there a 100% Ruby charting library that is freely available? Thanks, Dave

Good morning, I''ve been working on my first Rails app. I''m replacing an old Perl script that scrapes a bunch of data from an Oracle database, generates a bunch of charts then builds a static webpage with the charts. I''ve re-built it in Rails, with about 25% of the code it took to do in Perl and the users can now get dynamic charts instead of day old charts (or

Hi R users, Does anyone know how to change the size of 3d charts? I'm using surface3d in rgl package, opening a new window each time to display the chart.

Other names for this type of plot seem to be bridge chart, cascade chart, stair case chart, etc. but

I have been having the same problem as poster Hodgess, below. It appears that her question was never answered, so I would like to share a solution with the community. The problem is the (apparent?) inability to produce moving range process behavior (a.k.a. "control") charts with individuals data in the package "qcc" (v. 2.0). I have also struggled with the same limitation in

I get the error, "Not enough system resources to display completely", when I zoom out below 80% on spreadsheets that have labeled charts. That is, any charts that have axis numbers, axis labels, or chart labels. If I keep the charts but delete all text, I can zoom out indefinitely without the error. If I navigate away from the chart with labels I am able to zoom out just fine. For some

You may want to rethink your whole approach here: 1. Pie charts are usually a poor choice of graph, there are better choices. 2. Adding percentages to a pie chart is a way of admitting that the pie chart is not doing the job. 3. If you want people to compare percentages, then a table is what is needed. 4. A pie chart with percentages added is essentially a colorful but poorly layed out table.

Hello, I would like to get a window handle from another app outside of wxRuby and convert it into a wxRuby Window handle so that I can use it as the parent Window for several wxRuby child windows. Basically I want to use the FRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT window style so that my wxRuby windows become associated with the outside app kind of like toolbars, e.g., they don''t show up in the
