Hello, A post to R-Help by Oliver Soong reports what seems to be a bug specific to Windows (I'm on Windows 7). The original post is as follows: ---------------------------------------------------------------- from: Oliver Soong <osoong+r at gmail.com> to: r-help <r-help at r-project.org> date: Fri, 7 Dec 2012 22:07:49 -0800 subject: [R] file.link fails on NTFS Windows 7 64-bit,

Can somebody confirm some unexpected behavior? This is under Windows, with R 2.11.0 and 2.11.1. 1. Create a trivial test file (I called it test.R) containing: cat("Success.\n") 2. Load R (Gui or Term) and run: shell("\"C:\\path\\to\\Rscript.exe\" \"C:\\path\\to\\test.R\"") In my case, I get various error messages. If the path\\to\\Rscript.exe has spaces

I'm not 100% sure this hasn't been covered already (I searched a bit, but I had a little trouble filtering down to a useful number of useful results). Anyway, when I install R on Windows, the installer asks to set the default help type. For some reason, I can set it as HTML in the installer, but the results open as if help_type = "text" by default. I presume this is related to

I've used to have a script with a barplot command it in, preceded by a png: png(graph.file,height=H,width=W) barplot(t,names.arg=breaks[2:(length(t)+1)],tck=gridlines) -- worked before R 2.6.2. When I tried it in R 2.6.2, which I have for a while but didn't run with that script, it complained, the margins too large, and I've googled the messages from our list where neither

Hi, yes a bold statement, but I get different behaviour from 2.6.2 and 2.7.0 in read.table, and I don't find any documentation in http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/NEWS. A file like (space delimited): foo + . bar - . 2.7.0: > tab <- read.table("test.txt",as.is=TRUE) > tab V1 V2 V3 1 foom 0 0 2 bar 0 0 while until now and on 2.6.2 > tab <-

I'm having a very odd problem with system(wait = FALSE). I'm not entirely sure whether it's a bug in R or a problem on our end. It's related to a post a month or so ago in R-help which got no responses, but I have a little more to add. This command works as expected (I use c:\tmp since c:\ isn't normally writable under later versions of Windows). The file is created at

I love the new tiff(), jpeg(), and png() in R 2.7.0 but found an issue that I didn't see reported. When specifying 'units = "in"' but forgetting to change the default height and width (so the figure is unintentionally going to be 480 inches by 480 inches) I run into problems. Here's the reproducible example: tiff("a.tiff", units = "in", res = 1200,

Hi, I posted over at R-help, and didn't get a response, but perhaps that was the wrong forum for this question. I'm having some confusion over the coordinate system after using pairs. I'm not interested in the content of the actual pairs plot, although the number of pairs seems to matter a bit. I'm purely interested in knowing where subsequent points will be plotted on the

With 2.7.0 patched (not tested with 2.0.0), I get an error message in a program that ran correctly in R 2.6.2 when the grouping factor of a stripplot contains an Umlaut: I am aware that there are a few locale-changes in R 2.7.0, but I could not easily locate who's at fault Dieter library(lattice) dt = data.frame(x=rnorm(100),y=1:100,levs= as.factor(c("Gru","Gr?")))

Hello, Up to R 2.6.2, I used to start Tcl *without Tk* (I need only Tcl for some part of my work, like a socket server written in Tcl only, for instance) with this code under Mac OS X (particularly on this system, because I don't want to start X11 just to use Tcl code, which is required for Tk!): > Sys.unsetenv("DISPLAY") > library(tcltk) I got then the message

Hi, I try to make multiple plots look as similar as possible. I create each plot with pdf(), using the same height but different width in inch. For some plots I use the layout() function to draw multiple subplots side by side in one pdf. For each plot I use the same cex values for the different plotting functions (cex.axis, cex.lab, cex.points etc.) Still, when I compare the pdf's the

Hello, I am having trouble with the difference between default graphic settings on my client machine and the instance of R on our company's server. I created a script locally that output graphs, but when I run it on the server the output graphs have titles running past the margins, legends improperly placed, etc. I checked the default par() settings and found differences between my machine

Hi, I'm new to R. I'm using a Mac OS X 10.5 and R 2.7.0. I'm trying to change the font family for a plot in a quartz device. Simply passing the desired font by using the family argument works with other devices, but not with quartz. Am I missing anything? I've already checked the docs for quartz and quartzFonts, but didn't find a solution. Any help much appreciated.

Greetings - For a host of reasons I chose (was forced) to upgrade my multi-Opteron box from Fedora 7 -> Fedora 8. In the process, I also updated the ACML I had installed from 4.0.0 to 4.1.0. While I get no errors (that I can find) in the config -> make -> make install sequence, I'm pretty sure (based on some benchmarks) that I'm not getting BLAS and/or Lapack to compile in. So,

Those are good news.

R 2.15.1 OS X (MLion) Colleagues, I am aware that changes in mfrow / mfcol in par() affect cex (from help: In a layout with exactly two rows and columns the base value of ?"cex"? is reduced by a factor of 0.83: if there are three or more of either rows or columns, the reduction factor is 0.66). I generate a multipage PDF in which mfrow varies such that cex is impacted. This affect

Dear R users, I'm trying to plot 45x8 graphs on the same pdf / device for the sake of visual comparison. par(mfcol=c(45,8)) par(mai=c(0,0,0,0)) In ?title, I can see there are cex and font settings: I set cex = 0.01 and font = 1: it is still very large, and then I tried setting font < 1, e.g. font = 0.5, Then I get an error: Error in title(paste(Ppercent, "% ",

Dear all, I have a rather complicated problem. I am trying to loop through making graphs, so that the graph-making process is fully automated. For each graph, I'd like to make sure the corresponding title is formatted properly. The titles will be a combination of a gene name and numerical position within the gene. The gene name should be italic-bold, whereas the gene position should be
