I am experiencing some problems with the windows graphics device and bitmaps. (Everything is done in R 2.3.1 on Windows XP) As an example, I will use windows(3,2) plot(1:10) It is not a pretty or meaningful graph, but it demonstrates the problem. savePlot(file="test",type="bmp") creates a bitmap file of size 303x207 which is somewhat strange because it seems to use slightly

I tried to install SciViews in R 2.1.0 (on Windows) and on all machines I get: bundle 'SciViews' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked Error in sprintf(gettext("unable to move temp installation '%d' to '%s'"), : use format %s for character objects how can I solve this problem? -- Erich Neuwirth, University of Vienna Faculty of Computer Science

Subsetting from a dataframe with only one variable returns a vector, not a dataframe. This seems somewhat inconsistent. Wouldn't it be better if subsetting would respect the structure completely? v1<-1:4 v2<-4:1 df1<-data.frame(v1) df2<-data.frame(v1,v2) sel1<-c(TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE) > df1[sel1,] [1] 1 2 3 4 > df2[sel1,] v1 v2 1 1 4 2 2 3 3 3 2 4 4 1 -- Erich

I have problems with Rpad and R 2.10.0 (Windows XP and Windows 7, browser is Firefox) Just starting Rpad by library(Rpad) Rpad() opens the browser and displays the .html files and the .Rpad files in my home directory, but these files do not have links and are not clickable. Doing the same in R 2.9.2 gives clickable links in the browser. Furthermore, in both cases an empty graphics window

Is there code for bivariate kernel density estimation? For bivariate kernels there is kde2d in MASS kde2d.g in GRASS KernSur in GenKern (list probably incomplete) but none of them seems to accept a weight parameter (like density does since R 2.2.0) -- Erich Neuwirth, University of Vienna Faculty of Computer Science Computer Supported Didactics Working Group Visit our SunSITE at

My configuration is Windows XP, R-2.5.1patched. My standard browser in Windows is Firefox 2.0.6, and I am using htmlhelp. I have problems with starting the browser for displaying help. help("lm") works as it should when Firefox is already running. When I do help("lm") and the browser is not yet started, I get Error in shell.exec(url) :

I have a big contingency table, approximately of size 60*2*500*500, and I need to count the number of cells containing a count of 1 for each of the factors values defining the first dimension. Here is my attempt: tab1<-with(pisa1,table(CNT,GENDER,ISCOF,ISCOM)) tab2<-apply(tab1,1:4,function(x)ifelse(sum(x)==1,1,0)) tab3<-apply(tab2,1,sum) Computing tab2 is very slow. Is there a faster

I just uninstalled R 2.7.2 on Windows XP after having installed R 2.8.0 The uninstaller removed the String values HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\R-core\R\Current Version HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\R-core\R\InstallPath despite the fact that they pointed to R 2.8.0 The uninstaller did not remove the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\R-core\R\2.7.2 (and all the values in that key) I think the

It would be convenient to have something like Rgui runfist="myfunction()" in Windows. The reason: AFAIK Rgui does not accept piped input (RGui < myfile.R does not seem to work). A solution could be to put a few fuctions in Rprofile and then give the name for one of these functions to be executed at startup as a command line parameter to Rgui. Can something like this be done? --

I am running R as an invisible subprocess in another program (RExcel). Using try I can catch errors and print the errors produced by an R statement. Is there a way to know if running a statement caused a warning message? last.warning gives me the last warning, but I do not have any indication what the statement was that caused the message. I can of course store last warning before I run a

Is this warning given on purpose? > myconn<-textConnection("print(11*11)") > source(myconn) [1] 121 Warning message: In source(myconn) : argument 'encoding = "native.enc"' will be ignored Could it be omitted, since the docs state that encoding is only use if the corresponding argument is a file name or url? -- Erich Neuwirth, University of Vienna

hist(rbinom(1000,10,0.5),col=2,xlim=c(0,10),ylim=c(0,300)) gives a histogram with "touching bars" hist(rbinom(100000,10,0.5),col=2,xlim=c(0,10),ylim=c(0,30000)) gives a histogram with space between the bars. is there a way to control the space betweent he bars easily? -- Erich Neuwirth, Computer Supported Didactics Working Group Visit our SunSITE at http://sunsite.univie.ac.at

I think Rprofile.site as installed with R-2.6.2 contains some misleading information. It contains the following lines # set a CRAN mirror # local({r <- getOption("repos") # r["CRAN"] <- "http://my.local.cran" # options(repos=r)})'. Uncommenting these lines and changing the URL will not work. '. at the end of the last line will break the

A coworker got tired of having to type 'yes' or 'no' after quitting R: he never wanted to save the R workspace when quitting. So he added assignInNamespace lines to his .Rprofile file to replace base::q with one that, by default, called the original with save="no".. utils::assignInNamespace(".qOrig", base::q, "base")

Hi all I was wondering whether there has ever been an update on the rownames and colnames behaviour as described by Eric below? I still get the same behaviour, exactly as described by Eric, on my WinXP installation of R-2.3.0. I also posted a message to r-help on Friday but looking through the online archives it seems to have not made it to the list. I would agree with Eric that a consistent

I have been using delay() quite successfully to 'load on reference' some large data files (earthquake catalogues). One minor difficulty I have not been able to overcome is that upon first reference, the data set is loaded into memory as expected, but also remains as a permanent object in the user's environment, instead of appearing to be only in the library from which it was loaded.

some of you might be interested. i just uploaded the first release of my r-excel interface package to CRAN. it is in contributed extensions nonstandard extensions erich neuwirth -- Erich Neuwirth, Computer Supported Didactics Working Group Visit our SunSITE at http://sunsite.univie.ac.at Phone: +43-1-4277-38624 Fax: +43-1-4277-9386
