similar to: How to get correct proportions/bounding box for latex figure?

Hi, a problem involving postscript bounding boxes: I'm composing three scatterplots into a single figure, postsript for publication. The individual scatterplots should be square, so the overall figure should have a roughly 1:3 sort of aspect ratio. By default however, the overall figure comes out nearly square, and the scatterplots are stretched vertically. I fixed this by adding

Hi All! I'm trying to convert serial numbers in Excel to dates in R. For each single "thedate" entry, I get a correct answer. But if I try using the for loop, I get bizarre numbers in "mynewdata". thedate<-as.matrix(40548:40759,ncol=1) exdate<-function(){ mynewdate<-NULL for(i in 1:nrow(thedate)){

Dear All, The recent improvement in RODBC to recognize datetimes in tables has exposed my ongoing confusion. All my data are obtained from a satellite system (Argos) which tags events in the GMT time zone. Daylight saving is ignored. To my way of thinking this means that 1. twelve-o-clock means halfway through the day regardless of season, and 2. the difftime of any two dates where

When a graph is saved as PostScript, the bounding box is often too big. A consequence is that when the graph is included in a LaTeX document, the spacing does not look good. Is this a recognized problem? Is someone working on it? Could I help? David

Dear Colleagues: I need to make a graphic that uses the Nimbus rather than Helvetica font family so that the font can be embedded in the encapsulated postscript file. This is to satisfy a requirement from a journal for electronic submission of figures. I do the following: postscript('lowess.eps', onefile=FALSE, pointsize=18, horizontal=FALSE, family='NimbusSan')

Hi guys, I hit on a problem when I use rgl. Could you try to run the code here in this link and see why the first persp3d gives a red bounding box and the second shows black? http://rafb.net/p/g1i7ur33.html (sorry for not pasting the code here directly but my previous email got filtered by this list so I suspect my code looks like spam to the spam filter) I'm expecting black color to be

Greetings all: I have to create a graph that has very specific dimensions for publication purposes. The graph is a semilog scaled graph and the axes must range from 1 to 1,000,000 on the y axis and 0 to 100 on the x axis. The x axis should be exactly 8 inches and the y axis should be exactly 5.25 inches. I've been able to set the plot area to 8 x 5.25 using the par(pin=c(8,5.25)). The

This is probably a faq but I have not been able to find a solution. I create a pdf file in R but latex complains that it can't find the bounding box. Here is an example: > pdf(file="test.pdf", onefile=FALSE, width=8,height=8) > plot(1:10) > dev.off() X11 2 > sessionInfo() R version 2.2.1, 2005-12-20, sparc-sun-solaris2.9 attached base packages: [1]

The definition for dev.copy2eps contains the following line: oc$paper <- "special" The result of this is that the output will be placed in the left bottom corner of the page. Even though dev.copy2eps is meant for creating files that are to be included into other documents, you might want to print the figure directly, just to see how it will look on paper. (Of course, this will

Hello r-experts, I sure could us a little help. I have an ever updating text file with timestamped data in it. I can reformat in anyway I want if need be but currently I have chosen to make columns of date, time and measuresed value (comma delimeted and with the dates and times in quotes to interpret them as strings). Here is a small section of my text data file:

After a lot of effort I developed the following function to compute the bounding ellipse (also known a as minimum volume enclosing ellipsoid) for any set of points. This script is limited to two dimensions, but I believe with minor modification the algorithm should work for 3 or more dimensions. It seems to work well (although I don't know if can be optimized to run faster) and

Hi, I'm a novice with levelplot and need some assistance! Basically, I want a window which contains 6 levelplots of equal size presented in 3 columns and 2 rows. I've tried to approach it two ways. The first way leads to this question: Is there any way to concatenate levelplots from a factor vertically as opposed to horizontally? I'd like to pair the levelplots by factor.2 on

Passing in two dates to a sql statement (sqldf). Is returning a factor. Tried setting back to a Date via as.Date, but get an error the error: character string is not in a standard unambiguous format.

Dear list, here is a problem I met when trying to use a method for an S4 object, without loading the package in which the method was defined. I do not know if this is a bug, or a mistake of mine. Normally, I think the package in which the appropriate method is defined is loaded automatically when calling the method. The problem is that if the package is indeed loaded automatically, the

Hi, I''m new to programming and ruby and ROR, but I''m hoping to learn ruby to create custom scientific software. Mainly it involves measuring people''s reaction time to a series of words. I''m positive that this is possible using plain ruby on a computer (cause this is BASIC territory right?). But I want to create a ROR app that can do the same thing. My

Dear all, I had to place points at random, one in each of larger number of polygons (actually in objects of class 'SpatialPolygonsDataFrame' , see sp library), and tried first to do it using spsample (from sp). Surprisingly, every 5-15 trials, the output was a NULL value. The doc says that ' this may occur when trying to hit a small and awkwardly shaped polygon in a large
