Hi, I would need some help in solving a problem with my R. Whenever I try to type " ?paste " or in general any command for the html help in R, I receive this error message. The strange thing is that I have never had this kind of problem in the past with R, and now I really don't understand why it says that. Also I have selected every single element in the installation process. The

I just built a package in R (version 2.1.1 on a Linux machine) and then moved it to my computer (R version 2.8.1 on a Windows machine). When I loaded the package and tried to open help for one of the commands, I got the following warning: Warning message: In print.help_files_with_topic("F:/R/R-2.8.1/library/REEMtree/chm/RMSE") : No CHM help for 'RMSE' in package

Hello, Apologies in advance if this should be in R-devel, not Rhelp. I did read through the R-devel thread started by Gabor Grothendieck in September of this year - I am getting the exact same error using a new computer that has XP installed, not vista, complaining that the file hhc.exe is not found. I have downloaded the hhc.exe to HTML Help Workshop dir in Program Files but it says that

Hi list, When I type my question in R console using ? sign (example: ?par, when I want to query for par), the following error message popps up: Error in print.help_files_with_topic("C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-24~1.1/library/maps/chm/map") : CHM file could not be displayed I appreciate if any body comes back to me with the solution.

Dear all, I just tried to be fast for once, installed R 2.10 and also newly installed all previously-installed packages. However, now all my help files are text only, which is of course a pity with the new possibilities of links between help pages. What can I do to re-activate chm-help? chm-help does not work for anything, not even base functionality. My system is Windows XP, German locale

Dear R-users, I've just installed the last version of R (2.10.0) in Windows and found a completely new version of the help pages. Basically, they now appear as a simple (even if slightly embellished) text file. I tried to install it with a customized startup and realized that the old CHM files (the default for Windows up to 2.9.2) are not included anymore as a possible choice. I don't

I'm looking for a scheme to generate a default color palette for plotting points, lines and text (on a white or transparent background) with from 2 to say 9 colors with the following constraints: - "red" is reserved for another purpose - colors should be highly distinct - avoid light colors (like "yellow"s) In RColorBrewer, most of the schemes are designed for area fill

I installed R (R-2.4.1-win32.exe) on a new computer with Windows Vista and a 64 bit operating system (hp dv9000 with intel core t7200). The base R runs fine, but I can not get any of the packages to load. From within R I choose install packages choose a site then a package. I tried installing 2 packages and get similar errors (see below), I just copied and pasted lines from R. Can anyone

Hi R-devels, would it be possible to enhance either promptPackage() or the default indexing mechanism for packages so that -- if it exists -- (the contents of) file <pkgname>-package.Rd is sorted first in * the .dvi / .pdf documentation file * the .chm documentation file * the package 00index.html documentation file ? So far I found the following "hand-made" solution

I have R 2.8.0 installed on Ubuntu 8.04. It seems to run fine, except for the html help interface. I get help OK when doing ?mean on the command line, for example, but when I do help.start() and try to get help for mean it gives me an error message: Firefox can't find the file at /tmp/RtmpwVDJYQ/.R/library/base/html/mean.html or in a new session Firefox can't find the file at

Greetings, The website fivethirtyeight has a great plot. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2012/10/15/us/politics/swing-history.html Can this be done with R or GGobi or GGPlot? thanks, Tom

By Ctr-moving the cursor over a point in an iplot() scatterplot (package iplots) it is possible to check the exact x,y coordinates of a given point. Is it possible to check a text label for that point as well? (i.e., the same info that would get printed on the graphic using text(x,y, labels=v) or with identify(x,y,labels), but I do not want to get the labels permanently plotted on the graphic)

I just installed 2.10 on XP; ESS is my primary interface. I seem to be able to access all the help files; under 2.8.1 I was having seemingly random problems accessing some help topics (including one day I could and a few days later I couldn't, and vice-versa). That's good. I noticed a few glitches. First, the installer asks if you want text, CHM, or HTML help, but offers only text or

Hi, all. I've been searching for a while to find out how to create an scatterplot which would let a user interact with it, specifically by hovering the mouse over a point and having a pop-up appear with data about the point. The pop-up would disappear when the mouse moved away. I've included a mock-up below. I've found out how to use identify() to make a label appear when clicking a

Hi, I was trying to read some help of functions and in all functions I try to see is giving me this error: > ?write.table Erro em print.help_files_with_topic("C:/ARQUIV~1/R/R-29~1.0/library/utils/chm/write.table") : CHM file could not be displayed Anybody knows what is happening?
