Hello, I'm hoping that there is an easier way to rename columns in a data frame other than by using the names() assignment, which requires you to type in all the column names at once for a data.frame, in the case that I simply want to rename a single column in a data frame. Also, is there an easy way to move columns in a data frame around relative to the other columns? Thanks in

To follow up on my previous question, suppose a user R session wants to unload one workspace and load another within an R session. Is the following the correct sequence? 1. save.image() to save the current workspace as .Rdata in the current working directory. 2. rm(list=ls()) to remove everything from the workspace. 3. setcwd("xxx") to set the new working directory. 4.

Hi, I would like to use the format function to get numbers all with three digits to the right of the decimal point, even in cases where there is no significant digit left. For example, I would like to get c(0.3456789,0.0000053) as "0.346" "0.000". It seems that it is not possible to force format to print a "0.000", i.e. without any significant decimal places. Is it

Dear R People: On the Edit menu, there is a GUI preference tab. On the Font option, the highest value is 18. Has anyone ever had the font size set larger than that will any success, please?

I am trying to great a new column of effort data from an existing vector of gears used. It is a simple code where effort[Gear==300]=(DIST_TOW*7412) effort[Gear==301]=(DIST_TOW*7412) The code appears to work for some of the data but fails for others and inserts a NA value I also get this warning message Warning message: number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length Can

Hi There: I was wondering if there is a way to read FORTRAN list data (similar to IDL's readf function). I often use FORTRAN for most of my number crunching, and use something like IDL to visualize and perform statistical analysis on that data. Since the each file is rather large (>100 Mb), formatting the output into columns or tables is impractical, hence the "list"

I remember reading somewhere that locations on plots (in my case, arguments x and y for legend()) can be specified in several scales besides the usual data scale. I would like to set x and y as proportions of total plot size or something similar. Can anyone steer me to documentation on how to do it? -- Michael Prager, Ph.D. <Mike.Prager at noaa.gov> NOAA Center for

This is (correctly) filed under "non-reproducible." The corresponding notes say "solved by re-installing Windows (private comm)." I would like to clarify that this was solved by re-installing the patch known as "Windows 2000 Service Pack 2," not by reinstalling Windows itself. Perhaps my original message was not clear. I point this out because installing the

Dear R People: I'm using R in a time series class. This class is being broadcast live to 2 remote sites via closed circuit TV. My people at the remote sites are having a terrible time seeing the computer screen as it is broadcast(resolution issues). I have decided to put together Power Point slides for the teaching. I am currently saving the R screen as WMF files and inserting them into

Dear All, I have a question on overlaying a filled.contour (e.g. on soil properties data) and contour (by elevation) in one graph. Both have the same z matrix dimension. I'm able to overlay both graph, but the plots dimension did not overlap well on the same plots. How can I have both filled.contour and contour on the same graph? The commands that I have written are as follows:

Dear All, I have some code that works in S-Plus for writing saving a graphics file to disk :- graphsheet(type = "auto", format = "WMF", file = "G:\\north0l.wmf", pages = "auto", print.background = F, orientation="landscape", color.style="color") plot(x,y) dev.off() This works fine in S-Plus. I have tried playing

Hi, The following may sound stupid so please forgive my stupidness. I have a question which I don't know how to name it so I have to start from the beginning. In an attempt to gain better understand how a photochemical air qaulity model works, I plotted hourly ozone concentration contour from the model's standard output to observe the changes in simulation. Because the model actually

hi, I got some questions on using R, 1. How do I check and edit definition of an object? for example, >x <- 1:100 then after a while I want to check how x is defined. list(x) or whatever functions I know only list its content, but I want to see its definition, without scrolling up and down, and edit it like "fixing" a function. 2. How to save my work in current session as a

I've run into a problem with dir.create on R2.2.0 Windows XP 2002 SP 2. setwd("d:/") print(dir.create("d:\\otis-sim\\rdata", recursive=T)) print(dir.create("d:\\otis-sim\\", recursive=T)) Both return false and fail to create the directories. setwd("c:/") print(dir.create("d:\\otis-sim\\rdata", recursive=T)) Returns true and succesfully

Hi all I would like to know if anybody knows of either a good book or web site that explains one how to use Fortran. I would like to call some of the Fortran subroutines but before I can do that I first want to learn how to code in Fortran. Regards Allan

Hello, (apologies, I'm not entirely sure whether this question is about R or my limitations with PowerPoint). I've submitted a paper (which has been accepted) but the journal now require me to submit graphs that are "editable in PowerPoint". I would be grateful for suggestions as to how I should do this. The best route seems to be to copy-and-paste the figures from the

Dear all, Many thanks for the help suggesting the use of "layout" cmd. How to insert a title in a 1x2 layout? The title is related to both graphs. I looked for it in help, unsuccessfully. Thanks in advance, Rodrigo. my reproductible code: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- def.par <- par(no.readonly = TRUE) nf <- layout(matrix(c(1,2),

R 1.8.0 on Windows XP Professional. A huge THANK YOU to the R Team for this marvelous software. I am making lattice plots of oceanographic data. The usual layout does not conform to plotting conventions that marine scientists use when depth is the independent variable. Under those conventions, plots are made with the origin at the upper left, depth on the vertical axis (increasing as it

Dear R-Help members, I have a question about how to save to the hard drive the one thousand datasets I generated in a simulation. The datasets are created in a "for" loop that repeatedly creates normally distributed datasets, such as the example below: Library(MASS) for (number in 1:1000) { dataset = mvrnorm(n = 400, mu = c(0,0,0), Sigma =

I apologize for what may be a newbie question: I have two sets of data, one is X,Y,Z data that I'd like to make a contour plot of (Z defining the contours), and a second set of X,Y data (Y as a function of X) which I would like made into a line plot OVERLAYED on the contour plot (X and Y from both plots are in the same units and will have overlapping values). Any suggestions on how to do this
