similar to: Fonts do not display properly on Red Hat

Dear All I posted a similar question quite some time ago, but that was on an old OS and an old version of R. This time I have RHEL 4, which is still supported as an OS, and R 2.5.1 which is not *that* old. My sessionInfo() gives: > sessionInfo() R version 2.5.1 (2007-06-27) i686-redhat-linux-gnu locale: LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8;LC_COLLATE=en_GB.U

Hi OK, final stretch now, thank you to everyone who has helped! (hopefully) final question - what does R CMD build actually do that tar/gzip and WinZip do not? I have successfully used R CMD build to create a .tar.gz version of my package, which installs well and works under Linux - hurray! I naively thought that all I had to do now was create a .zip version (using something like WinZip) and

I'm looking for someone to explain the difference between these procedures. The function prcomp() does principal components anaylsis, and the function cmdscale() does classical multi-dimensional scaling (also called principal coordinates analysis). My confusion stems from the fact that they give very similar results: my.d <- matrix(rnorm(50), ncol=5) rownames(my.d) <-

I am running centos 4.x and 5 x86_64 and using the script below and the slider bar at the bottom I cannot get fonts bigger than 50. someone else posted a followup and said he has the same issue. What can be happening here??? xlsfonts shows that bigger fonts are available. How can I get bigger fonts??? Note - I had to do a "yum install tk" also... Thanks, Jerry

Following on from my previous mail! plot(1:10,1:10) mtext("title", side=3, adj=0, font=3, cex=1.5) This works as expected and puts the font in italics. tag <- "A)" suffix <- "genea::" plot(1:10,1:10) mtext(bquote(.(tag) ~ Delta * .(suffix)), side=3, adj=0, font=3, cex=1.5) Here, the font isn't in italics, it's normal. I presume this is some

Everyone, With the update to Centos 7.5 it is apparent that we lost the Courier 10 Pitch fonts that were in "xorg-x11-fonts-Type1". Does anyone know how to get this back. Greg Ennis

Hello. I am getting an error thrown from tkrplot. It is X11 font -adobe-helvetica-%s-%s-*-*-%d-*-*-*-*-*-*-*, face 1 at size 12 could not be loaded > sessionInfo() R version 2.10.1 Patched (2009-12-29 r50852) i686-pc-linux-gnu locale: [1] LC_CTYPE=en_US LC_NUMERIC=C LC_TIME=en_US [4] LC_COLLATE=C LC_MONETARY=C LC_MESSAGES=en_US [7] LC_PAPER=en_US

Hi When I use plot(hclust(dist..)...)...) etc to create a dendrogram of a hierarchial cluster analysis, I end up with a vertical tree. What do I need to do to get a horizontal tree? Also, my users are used to seeing trees who's leaves all "end" at the same place (eg. Like in minitab). Is this possible in R? Thanks Mick Michael Watson Head of Informatics Institute for Animal

hello I am returning to some libraries that I had previously customised by amongst other things adding additional functions. I had simply typed these new functions into the file in library/R/thelibrary. These however do not seem to be loaded now as they previously were under older versions of R. What's changed and what do i need to do? Thanks Stephen

Hi I have a complicated plot which has a potentially large legend. What I want to do is actually create the legend in a new window. Has anyone done this before? I'd like to be able to create a window with just the legend in it, and have it so the window is just the right size etc. I'm sure someone must have done this already? If not, any tips would be welcome. Thanks Mick

Hi When I give the command: > heatmap.2(as.matrix(d),Rowv=as.dendrogram(hc.gene),Colv=FALSE,scale="row ",trace="none",col=greenred.colors(79)) The resulting heatmap has re-ordered my columns! This is time-course data, and I don't want my columns re-ordered! Note from the help: Rowv: determines if and how the _row_ dendrogram should be reordered.

Hi Sorry to ask such a basic question. I have a list, each element of which is a vector of two values. What I actually want is a matrix with two columns, and one row per element of the list. Obviously I have tried as.matrix(), and as.vector() but I didn't expect the latter to work. I feel so lame asking this. Any suggestions? Mick

Hi Forgive my ignorance. I am selecting a column of a data.frame using the column name, and I want to know what the resulting column "is". My data frame is called "submin" and the column name is held in a variable called "display.gname" Eg: > is.data.frame(submin) [1] TRUE > is.data.frame(submin[,display.gname]) [1] FALSE >

Hi I did a google search on this and came up with nothing. OK, in the latest release of R for windows, I want to change the gui to SDI mode. Edit -> GUI preferences Choose SDI Apply I get the message about properties not being able to be changed on a running console, and that I need to save. So I click Save, and am met with a "Save As" dialogue box with the default file called

I recently upgraded my OS to Fedora 8 from Red Hat Enterprise Work Station 3. Before I upgraded certain operations would produce a warning to the effect that a desired font was not available so one had been substituted, which was okay. After the upgrade to Fedora 8, the plotting operation halts midway through and I get the following error message: "X11 font at size 6 could not be loaded"

Sometimes I print out a package and read about it and there are sometimes nice examples that I would like to run myself. Is there a way to bring them into R from the package or are they only meant to be typed in manually ? If manual is the only way, that's fine. I was just checking whether there was a quicker way. Thanks. Mark

Hello I am trying to install the R RPM for Suse 10.0 on an x86_64 PC.

Hi We have touched on this before, but I don't think I quite got it right. So I have a list, each element of which is a a vector of 2 numbers: > l2 $cat000_a01 [1] 0.3429944 4.5138244 $cat000_a02 [1] 0.1929336 4.3064944 $cat000_a03 [1] -0.2607796 4.1551591 What I actually want to convert this into is a matrix with the names (cat000_a01 etc) as row names, the first element of each of

We've only switched from redhat 7.3 to 9 several weeks ago, and I found today, that the last three pages of demo(plotmath) uses quite wrong plot symbols, e.g sum(....) gives (+) {+ in circle} instead of the Sigma-like summation --- but only in "text" not in title, i.e., probably a font problem. With postscript() {and hence dev.print() of x11()} all is fine. Hence it must be an X
