Hi All, I am making a serious effort to try to learn R, but one hurdle I am facing is that I need to "see" the data as I walk through the examples in the packages. For instance, many examples on the web start by a command like data("wines"). How can I actually view what the dataset looks like prior to transformations and analysis? I have tried to use edit() , print, and

Hi everyone, I am desperately looking for a method to interpolate strings within an SQL statement as follows: I get a lot of rows out of a database (in my example POSITION_to_ZIPCODE Database with holds records for German ZIP Code <--> Gauss-Krueger Coordinate System ) and want this to be selected and computed individually row by row as follows: library(RODBC) channel <-

Dear Friends, Yesterday I posed a question to the list concerning the possibility of doing animation examples in R. Here is an example S-Plus (4.5 for Windows ) that I wrote to illustrate my problem. If I try this in R (comment out the graphsheet and guilocator calls) I don't see my results until after the function has iterated through the 100 trials. I would like to plot each iteration.

Hello all, Is it possible to change the radii line type in radial plots? I wasn't able to find anything online.

Hello. Is it possible to set specify the font used by legend()? I would like to specify a fixed-width font so that I can line up parts of vertically stacked curve labels. For example, it would be nice if I could align the names, ages, and weights in the following three curve labels: Bob age=7 weight=100 Alexander age=13 weight=150 Susan age=20 weight=130 Is there perhaps a clever

I've wrote some code to simulate a random walk in 2 dimensions on a lattice. Basically I want to add something in to make it plot it point by point so you can see what is going on. Heres my code for the random walk in 2d RW2D<-function(N) { i<-0 xdir<-0 ydir<-0 xpos<-vector() xpos[1]<-xdir ypos<-vector() ypos[1]<-ydir for (i in 1:N-1)

Hi Everyone, I was hoping someone could help me with the settings for Tinn-R. I see in the screen shots that it has syntax help, or something similar (tips on what functions, etc). I can not seem to get this to turn on in the program, and I am wondering if I have to set up a few options. I quickly read through the help and could not figure it out. Many thanks! - Brock P.S. It appears as

Hi all, these are the remaining unapplied patches of the ARM HDLCD patch series. Changes in v7: - rebased on b61ed421d2c85b5b106c63f2c14f8aa162b282f0; - turn more printk and panic into early_printk and early_panic. Changes in v6: - rebased on 77d3a1db3196b1b5864469f8d3f41d496800c795; - remove useless initializations to NULL in lfb_init; - more compact checks in lfb_init. Changes in v5: - move

Hi all, Roger Peng and Jason Turner's suggestion with ImageMagick seem to be the simplest "dirty" way to get the problem solved. But I ran into yet another interesting but quite round-about way to solve the problem (partially). Through tcltk package, one can read in the gif image with > x <- tkcmd("image", "create", "photo", file=mypic.gif)

Hello, I would like to know more about how to use the "apply" family and have attempted to convert nested "for" loops in example code from Contributed Documentation ("The Friendly Beginners' R Course? by Toby Marthews (ZIP, 2007-03-01)") to an "apply" function(s). The relevant code is: distances=c(51,65,175,196,197,125,10,56) #distances of 8 houses

Hi, I was wondering if someone in the mailing list has any insight into this segfault error that I consistently find when running a script containing heatmap() in R 2.8.1 and 2.8.0 on a Linux 64-bit machine. Some points: 1. This occurs when running heatmap(). 2. Interestingly, if I source() the script or copy and paste the script in its entirety, this error occurs. However, if I run the

Hi listers, A few days ago I posted a question about the use of the stars function on selected lines of a frame. Thanks to two helpers, a closer look at the scale argument allowed to partially solve the problem. Yet I still have a problem with stars. Allow me to explain what I intend to do (sorry for my poor English and the long post): I want to graph an activity index of a fish during the day

Hi everyone, I want you all help me to give an idea, how to draw pentagon with points? Maybe can use function, but I'm stuck. Yhank you. -- Hemavathi Ramulu [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, is there a way to place text at the upper left corner (or another corner) of the plot? I want to place it really at the upper left corner of the whole plot (the file I get), not at the upper left corner of the plot-region. I tried text() and mtext(), and corner.label() of the plotrix package but it didn't work out. thanks!

Hi All, I am new to R, but it has been a lot of fun learning as I go and have been blow away by what it can do. Came across this example and wanted to see if ggplot2 or some other visualization package could make this sort of graphic.

Hello everybody I'm trying to write a simple version of matlab's "quiver". The idea is that I have fluid with velocity defined on a grid. I have a matrix of x-components of velocity and a matrix of y-components and I want to see the overall flow pattern. (I work with 2D fluid mechanics problems). My first-stab function is below: quiver <- function(u,v,scale=1) # first

Hi When I try to update an number in a large data.frame by its pos It's really slow it take almost a sec to do this and I wonder why and if where is any faster way to update a number in a data.frame ive tried DF$col[POS]<-number DF[xPOS,yPOS]<-number Thx //Joel -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Slow-update-insert-on-Data-frame-tp3055707p3055707.html

Hello, I am using textplot function in gplots package to put some model output inside a PDF file, but it does not seem to work properly with PDF. I am doing follwing: pdf(file="C:/...", paper="a4", width=8, height=12) .model <- lm(.model.formula, data=database) textplot(capture.output(summary(.model)), valign="top", halign="left") I am getting these

Hi, Few days ago I have asked about spatial join on the minimum distance between 2 sets of points with coordinates and attributes in 2 different data frames. Simon Knapp sent code to do it when calculating distance on a sphere using lat, long coordinates and I've change his code to use Euclidian distances since my data had UTM coordinates. Typically one data frame has around 30 000 points
