similar to: problem with putting text in outer margins (mtext outer=TRUE)

Hi, I'm having trouble compiling R-2.10.0 (R-patched_2009-11-02.tar.gz) on solaris 10 and am hoping for some advice. I'm getting errors about having the wrong version of lib_I_dbg_gen.so.1 ("version `DBG_GEN_5.1' not found"), when it gets to the step of compiling recommended packages (cluster). I think we do have the right version of lib_I_dbg_gen.so.1 on the

Hi, I found an architecture-specific segfault problem with the XML package. I originally found the problem using the parseKGML2Graph function in the Bioconductor KEGGgraph package, but as far as I can tell the underlying issue seems to be with the xmlTreeParse which is called by parseKGML2Graph. I'm trying this piece of code, from the xmlTreeParse help page: library(XML) fileName <-

mtext(..., outer = TRUE) does not seem to center the text in the outer margins as it did previously. Reproduce with example(plot.profile.nls, package = "nls") On versions of the development sources before November 17 this produced main and subtitles that were centered horizontally on the page. After that the main title (from mtext("..", side = 3, outer = TRUE)) is centered

Depending on the setting of par()$usr, the 'at' setting in mtext(.., adj=0, outer=T) may cause the text to appear in an anomalous position (e. g. in the first instance below, at the left of the plot region rather than at 'at=0' in the figure region), or the text may not appear at all. If one does not set the 'at' parameter the text appears (with 'adj=0') on the

Hi all, I have read through the archives, but can't find a solution to this problem. I need the text direction on "dependent B", plotted in margin 4, to go top to bottom (opposite what it is now). Here's some sample code: #plot with mtext example par(mgp = c(2,1,0), mfrow=c(2,2), las=1, mar=c(2,2,2,2), omi= c(0.5,0.2,0,0.2)) a<-1:10 b<-7:16 c<-21:30 plot(a~b,

Martin, I have an objection in principle to anything that has the side-effect of clobbering something in the global environment, even something as innocuous looking as "old.par". I certainly object to putting something like that into a public library, however clever and useful the code might be. It just is not safe. As a quick way round this I suggest the following (R only) solution:

Hi. I'm trying to install a new package. I'm a relatively long-time (though not advanced) R user and have never seen this error before. For the first example, I tried a few different CRAN mirrors. In the second example, the file does exist; I downloaded it from the CRAN website for the package and pasted in the name exactly a few different times to make sure it was right. >

Dear R-helpers, Please see the attached plot. The problem is that I have too much space between the x-axis label (which is mtext in an outer margin) and the plots. My par settings for this plot are: >par(mfrow=c(1,3),oma=c(2,2,2,2),mar=c(5.1,4.1,4.1,2.1),pty="s") >#here is the code that produces the three plots, which I have deleted for simplicity >mtext("Log Wetland

Hi I had a few test shares  created and they were working fine. Users could read or write depending on the windows group that was defined on the share. I have since removed the test shares and created the file structure needed and setup the smb.conf file with the share names.  I have also setup the groups and assigned them to the respective directories.  Problem is the users can connect to

I am reading a list of numbers from my clipboard, and have been successful, except I can't make a histogram as R doesn't recognize my variable as numeric. I know I need to use "as.is", but the specifics escape me. I have used x<-read.table("clipboard", header=F) to import from a txt file. How do make this numeric? Thanks, J.

Hi, I've successfully updated our linux version of R to 2.9.0 but am having trouble on our solaris machine. I had previously installed 2.8.1 and earlier versions without trouble. I'm using R-patched_2009-05-20.tar.gz (I had also tried the 2009-05-10 version). Here's some info on our machine (I'm not the sysadmin): [2] bedrock:/home/jayoung> uname -a SunOS bedrock 5.10

Hi I've been running Samba 2.x for years but decided to move up to 3.0.2. I've set up a new samba server with a workgroup NEWBIOSS and netbios name PARETO. Im having problems setting up my domain admins. I used 'net groupmap modify "Domain Admins" unixgroup=domadmin' my 'net groupmap list' shows : System Operators (S-1-5-32-549) -> -1 Replicators

Hi all, i'm sure there is an easy way to do this, but i'm stumped, so any help would be appreciated. i have a single column of data for precipitation every 15 minutes over a year. i want to sum the precip to daily data. so the first 96 records = the first day, the second 96 records = the second day, and so on.... is there a way to write a for loop that would sum the data to daily, and

I want to eliminate certain observations in a large dataframe (21000x100). I have written code which does this using a binary vector (0=delete obs, 1=keep), but it uses for loops, and so it's slow and in the extreme it causes R to hang for indefinite time periods. I'm looking for one of two things: 1. A document which discusses how to avoid for loops and situations in which it's

Hi I'm finding it takes ages to download a roaming profile from the server when I log into Win2k or XP. A 4Mb profiles typically takes about 2 minutes (and 2 minutes to write back when I log out). I did a test and copied the profile directory from the server to my PC. Running under Win98 takes 1-2 minutes. Under 2K/XP it takes nearly 5 minutes. However, a single file of 4Mb only takes about

Hi. I want to use R with very large files, a couple hundred megabytes, but R crashes every time that I try. Reading help files seems to indicate that R ought to manage its memory itself. I know I have enough memory since stata handles these files perfectly well. I have a mac running OS 10.3 and am running RAqua 1.8.1. Is there anything I can do to make it deal with these files successfully?

How does one put quotes within quotes, if it's possible? I've tried replacing one set of the quotes by single quotes. If it's not possible, is there any way to do the following? > cmd <- "read.dta" > opt <- "convert.factors=FALSE" > data.file <- " file="/full/path/name.dta" " > eval(call(cmd,data.file,opt)) Prior to

I am not new to R, but I am new to .grib files. I am downloading some climate data and I would like to analyze it in R. R has a nice netcdf package, but I don?t see any package available to deal specifically with grib files. I see a few posts from other people using grib files in R. However, I was unclear if they used grib files in a different software program and then imported the data

Hi, I am having trouble getting RMySQL running on a solaris machine. [43] bedrock:/home/jayoung/source_codes/R/other_packages> uname -a SunOS bedrock 5.10 Generic_118833-36 sun4v sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-T200 I thought I had finally managed to get it installed, albeit with some warnings that I didn't understand (it took me a while to find where our mysql libraries were), but when I tried

I have a question for our European readers: how common is it to use commas as decimal points in spread-sheet and statistics applications? Is it an inconvenience to require that all data use a period as decimal point? (i.e., 3.14159 rather than 3,14159). We're trying to make our program as foolproof as possible, and would prefer not to give users a chance to have commas as both decimal
