Brian, thank you for your reply. > Why do you expect this to be vectorized when the help page clearly says > otherwise?
Sure, it's in line with the help, no problem there. I just asked if this feature is somehow possible. I expected it, because "pos" does take arrays and it "overrides any adj value given" (see help). So if "pos" does, why not "adj"? > What is wrong with two or more text() calls? it's quicker and more beautiful. See my code at the end (last loop) of http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Sonnenstand.png Thomas > NB: library(fortunes); fortune("WTFM") applies. This one I didn't get. They help to do it without a loop? ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
