Hi David, Thank you for your reply. /Somehow I'm guessing that this will involve load an unnamed package. Yep: ?create.fourier.descriptor No documentation for ‘create.fourier.descriptor’ in specified packages and libraries: you could try ‘??create.fourier.descriptor’/ So I indeed forgot

Thanks for your email, in fact the problem was in the nested loop!! By removing it and adding at the end i = i + 1 I solved the problem, all the rest stays the same. Best -- View this message in context:

[R] Fourier descriptors created in a loop

Hi All, Here is the problem: I'm trying to generate a number of Fourier Descriptors figures for an experiment. All I need is that they are created within a loop and saved with sequential names (e.g., s1_1.png, s1_2.png etc..) in my directory. I created a nested loop with a counter for the

Thank you all for your helpful comments! I solved my problem by creating an empty matrix before the loop and adjusting the loop itself, this is the code: size - dim(input) out - matrix('',nrow =size[1], ncol = 9) for (i in 1:nrow(input)) { out[i,1:3] -

Hi, thanks for your reply. I attached the example. I tried your suggestion: data[is.factor(data)] - lapply(data[is.factor(data)], function(x) as.numeric(as.character(x))) But I still have the var as factors. I'm thinking now, in the txt file the decimals numbers are separated with a coma.
