At one point I believe I heard of an R package that would automatically find the most empty space in a plot, and then that answer could then be used to intelligently place a legend. I would like to try to apply that R package to the contrived example shown below, so thank you for any hints or tips that can be provided. x = seq(0, 1000, by = 1) y1_vals<-rnorm(1000, mean = 0, sd = 50)

I would like to replace a few varaibles within a data frame. For example, in the dataframe below (contrived) I would like to replace the current housesize value only if the Location is HSV. However, I would like to leave the other values intact. I tried "ifelse", but I don't really need the else condition. test_data2_df<-data.frame(Variables=c("SQR

Hi, I'm new to R and would like to know, how one can populate the list with array data. I'm reading a tab separated table in R. The data in the table looks something like this. #Table Data Comp    A    B    C Extracellular    103    268    535759 Nucleus    45603    47783    442744 #R code myData <- read.table("table.data",                 header=T,                

How can I add an overall plot title to these four plots? I would like to have something that says, "Distribution Comparisons": par(mfrow = c(2, 2)) # Plot 1 plot(rnorm(10),type="l",col="red") title(main = list(paste("Normal"), ????????????????????????? col="black", cex = 1.0)) # Plot 2 plot(rpois(10,

Is there a place that shows how to create two plots that are stacked on top of each other where they share a common x-axis scale, but have differnt y-axis scale? Say have the following data: airquality Stack plot(airquality$Day, airquality$Wind) on top of plot(airquality$Day, airquality$Temp). I am interested in stacking the two on top of each other with no seam, or plotting the two lines with

Are there any tricks associated with file.info? I just tried it on a directory folder and it returned NA for all fields for all files. I tried it on a different folder with different files and it still returned NA. I tried it on a specific file and it returned all the proper info correctly. Just wondering if there are any tricks I've overlooked.

Not sure if there is an R way to do this or a regular express way, but here is what I am trying to do. I've got lots of data where the format is HH:MM:SS, but I need to format it like HH:MM:00, i.e. round the second down to zero. What is the best way to do this? Thanks again. Jason

I've done a little snooping around the R Gallery Site (http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/) and the "Statistics with R" site (http://zoonek2.free.fr/UNIX/48_R/all.html), but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.  Here is the type of plot I would like to draw: (1) 2-D three axis plot where each axis is separated by 120-degrees (would be great if the number of axis

I've seen this asked, but never fully answered.  Is it possible to plot stacked histograms in R? I have four data sets that I would like to show combined vertically in histogram format.  Is this possible?  Thank you for any feedback you can provide. P.S. I know I can show the four sets side by side, but I want to combine them, but still uniquely identify each.   Thanks again.

I would like to use the "row number" information returned from performing a subset command on a dataframe. For example, I would like to automatically delete some rows from a dataframe if they match a criteria. Here is my example below. data(airquality) names(airquality) subset(airquality, airquality$Month == 6) Now how do I delete the row numbers returned automatically? I

I'm new to making bubble plots with R, so I was going to try the following: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-geo/2009-August/006258.html Unfortunately, it looks like rgdal is not part of 2.14.  I'm not sure if it was the mirror I selected or something else is going on. > install.packages("rgdal") --- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- Warning

By any chance is anyone aware of an R package that contains a representation of the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF)? http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/IAGA/vmod/igrf.html I've tracked down some Fortran and C code for the IGRF-10, and possibly IGRF-11, and was hoping to avoid an awkward port. Thanks again for any feedback and leads provided.

R-users it appears I am leaning on your knowledge once again.  Is there any way to add a vertical line to a histogram and qplot "stacked" plot?  Here is my current attempt:   "qplot" approach attempt: qplot(Run, data = data_dataframe, breaks = breaks, fill = Temperature, main = short_title) + scale_x_continuous("Data") + scale_y_continuous("Freq")

How are the lower/upper whiskers defined in the default version of boxplot {graphics}? I tried help(boxplot) and searching www.rseek.org, but I was unable to determine an absolute answer. I checked out the definition of boxplot according to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_plot), but it also had several approaches listed for how the whiskers could be determined, so I'm just

My data set has a mixed level of measurement: Nominal scale - location (city) Ordinal scale - temperature (low, medium, high) Interval scale - age & value Just curious if there is an R package available that will handle the mixed "Level of Measurement". Looking to do graphical presentation of the correlation and also a qualitative analysis of the correlation.  Thanks again for

For example, from within an R script I would like to be able to launch NotePad.exe. Is there an R call for launching Notepad.exe from within R? I've tried the following, but they don't seem to work: > system(paste('"C:/WINDOWS/NOTEPAD.exe"'), wait = FALSE) > system("C:/WINDOWS/NOTEPAD.exe", wait = FALSE) > system("NOTEPAD", wait = FALSE)

By any chance is there a skeleton package to use as a template to develop an R package? I downloaded "Writing R Extensions", which was evidently updated pretty recently, but I did not see any references (and of course I may have totally missed it) to a package template to use as a go by. Does such a skeleton package exist? Thanks again for all your help, as I've got the code,

Say I have the following data: house_number<-floor(runif(100, 200, 600)) water_evaluation<-c("No water damage", "Water damage", "Water On", "Water off", "water pipes damaged", "leaking water") water_evaluation_selection<-floor(runif(100, 1,6)) house_info<-data.frame(water_evaluation[water_evaluation_selection],

By any chance is any one aware of a website, book, paper, etc. or combinations of those sources that show plots of different distributions? After reading a pretty good whitepaper I became aware of the benefit of I the benefit of doing Q-Q plots and histograms to help assess a distribution.   The whitepaper is called: "Univariate Analysis and Normality Test Using SAS, Stata, and SPSS*" ,

I searched the forms (i.e., R Search)?and come up with the following suggested link: ?http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#How-can-I-create-rotated-axis-labels_003f I tried to implement what I believe was being implied by that URL and came up with the below: barplot(WorldPhones[1,], ??????? ylim=c(0, 50000), ??????? axes=FALSE, ann=FALSE, ???????
