It allows for a common workspace that multiple R sessions can all access.

Hi,

I was reading a thread: [R] "2nd R console" and had a similar question
regarding having more than one R console open at a time.  However, my
question differs from that of the thread:

Is it possible, or is there a wrapper that will allow one, to open an
arbitrary number of R consoles which access the same R session (all objects
in that session, etc.).  This would be R on linux accessed through a shell -
kind of like using GNU screen multi-user such that people could work
collaboratively on a given session.  The problem with screen is that all
commands are interleaved in the same terminal, which is confusing and does
not allow access to the command prompt at the same time, rather it would be
sequential.  I know there will be "why" questions but it is useful in an
academic environment.  Basically we have a memory machine for large genomic
analysis - and we could set that up as an Rserver, but this placing R into a
multi-user engine is better suited for our immediate needs.  Does anybody
have thoughts on this?

You could have a look at XMX (X-protocol Multiplexer). This is now
rather old, and I think it has not been further developed for many
years.

http://www.cs.brown.edu/software/xmx/README.patch7

Basically, you would start XMX from one machine (A) networked
to others (B,C,...), all running X-windows. in the startup, you
designate which machines are to share the session, and what rights
they will have.

On machine A, and all designated machines B, C, ... , appears
a window. This in fact acts like a screen emulator, with its
own X session inside it. The A user then starts up a program
(say R) in this window, and what A sees is mirrored on the other
machines.

If A has granted input privileges to the other machines, then
users of B, C, ... can do things themselves, and the effects of
their actions are mirrored to all the other machines.

Thus, for instance, it would be possible for different users to
take turns at entering commands into the R session, and so on,
from their own machines. This is a much better way of arranging
things, than having all the people queue up to take turns at
sitting in the one and only chair!

It is certainly useful in a classroom situation, and even in
a one-to-one tutorial. For instance, I've used it in the past
to teach programming and system management, sitting more or
less beside the other person but at different machines. We
would both, for instance, be editing the same program file,
and either could initiate a program run with the current file.
(Of course, what's technically called a "race condition" can
develop here ... ). I've even envisaged the scenario where two
people, one in England and one in the US, could simultaneously
be editing a joint paper (you'd also need an independent
communication channel as well, but that's no problem using a
"chat" program).

The one constraint with XMX (at least in the past, I'm not
sure to what extent it may have been relaxed) which can limit
its use is that it depends on fairly close compatibility
between the X resources of all the different machines. It's
best of they're identical (same screen resolution e.g. 1024x768,
same colour depths on all screens, ... ). Otherwise it's liable
to not establish the necessary connections, and only some
machines can join in.

However, in a computing lab environment, it may well be that
all machines are compatible.

Suck it and see!

Hoping this is useful,
Ted.

Re: [R] keyboard issue in R console

2007-05-04 Thread Prof Brian Ripley
We can also say that in recent versions of R you have to choose 
deliberately to disable readline when building R.  (This is made quite 
hard: I am currently building R on a brand new Solaris 10 system, and I 
had to work to get the right 64-bit libreadline linked in. Just having 
libreadline[-devel] missing is not enough.)

I think Hao Liu needs to explain how he managed to do this, by giving the 
basic information asked for in the posting guide, e.g.

- version of R
- what is 'linux' here
- how R was installed (from sources, RPM, .deb )

You are most likely missing the readline library and/or the readline
'devel' files, depending upon how you installed R.

See R FAQ 7.20 How can I get command line editing to work?

[R] Mac OS X: Clearing R Console screen

2007-03-22 Thread Jesse Sinclair
Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out how to clear the console (screen) in the Mac  
OS X R console. Using ctrl-l does not work. I have also tried system 
("clear") but, I get  "TERM environment variable not set.", I find  
this a bit strange because system("ls") and other bash commands work  
fine. When using R in Terminal or iTerm, the system("clear") works  
great. Any ideas on how to get the R Console to clear, or how to set  
the TERM variable? I see others have had similar issues but, can't  
seem to find the solution. Thanks!

But Brian did give you all you needed (even more I'd say) to
solve that !?!?
Please apologize if I use a bit frank language, but using R, you
*really* are expected to read the documentation which is written
pretty carefully {probably that's what some people don't like
about it and call "confusing" ??}.

Specifically, Brian said

 BDR> 200 columns will take far more than 250 characters.  The help says

and then pointed you to the docu for options(width = .).
I think you need to reread that paragraph, particularly the word
'character' and then you will understand that your original
approach of using options(width = 250) can *not* be what you
want if your dataframe has 200 columns.

As Petr explains below (and Brian Ripley), you

but I think this is the first time that  the relatively new
option 'max.print' has "hit R-help", hence one other hint, maybe
useful to the public:

I am not sure if it is the best idea. You shall probably use other 
means for checking your data frame.

Try ?summary, ?str or if you really want to check all values in data 
frame you can use

invisible(edit(test))

to open a spreadsheet like editor.

200 columns will take far more than 250 characters.  The help says

  'width': controls the number of characters on a line. You may want
   to change this if you re-size the window that R is running
   in.  Valid values are 10...1 with default normally 80.

I would use the spreadsheet view of edit(mydf) in preference.

Re: [R] Data.frame columns in R console

2007-02-09 Thread Lauri Nikkinen
Thank you for your answer. When I set options(width=250) I still get the
same result when I print the data.frame on my Rgui console (R 2.4.1, Windows
XP). Colums become underneath each other. I also get an error (?) message [
reached getOption("max.print") -- omitted 3462 rows ]]. For example if I
have a data.frame with 4000 rows and 200 columns I would like to be able to
use scroll bars in Rconsole to investigate the whole data.frame.



btw, R is very useful system, my sincere thanks goes to R developers!

?options, look for 'width'.

I don't know what OS this in: the Windows Rgui has an option to set the
width to the width of the console, but you can override it.

[R] Data.frame columns in R console

2007-02-08 Thread Lauri Nikkinen
Hi R-users,



A newbie question: assume that I have for example 30 columns in my
data.frame named DF. When I print DF in R console I get columns that don't
fit on the same row underneath each other. So how do I change the R console
preferences so that the console does not wrap my data.frame columns? I want
the columns to be printed next to each other, as in a normal table.



Cheers,

Lauri

Yes, but the real question is what you mean by "a 2nd R console".  I 
guessed that you meant a second console for the same workspace, Brian 
Ripley guessed that you meant another instance of R.

The answer is probably "No", but since it isn't clear what your

means by "a 2nd R Console" or what OS this is, it's hard to be sure.


I would say the answer is almost certainly 'yes'.??In all the cases I

Never used that, but go to your bin folder and see if you see both Rgui.exeand
Rterm.exe.  If so, you can definitely use that method.

I would say the answer is almost certainly 'yes'.  In all the cases I know 
of if you launch 2 (or more) R consoles you will get separate R processes 
with separate workspaces.  The only problem I can envisage is that they 
might share a working directory and so the last one shut down could 
overwrite the workspace image and history saved from other consoles.
(But that is only a problem if you save your work that way, and I rarely 
do.)

Re: [R] 2nd R console?

2006-03-09 Thread Michael Prager
On Windows, I often have more than one R console (instance of Rgui.exe) 
open at the same time.  Unless by mistake, each instance is open on a 
unique working directory.

The answer is probably "No", but since it isn't clear what your colleague 
means by "a 2nd R Console" or what OS this is, it's hard to be sure.

Re: [R] how to clear screen in R-console?

2006-02-19 Thread Philippe Grosjean
And here is a reworked version that checks if it is RGui, if WSH is 
started, etc. and that returns invisibly TRUE/FALSE:

# An R function to clear the screen on RGui:
cls <- function() {
if (.Platform$GUI[1] != "Rgui")
return(invisible(FALSE))
if (!require(rcom, quietly = TRUE)) # Not shown any way!
stop("Package rcom is required for 'cls()'")
wsh <- comCreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
if (is.null(wsh)) {
return(invisible(FALSE))
} else {
comInvoke(wsh, "SendKeys", "\014")
return(invisible(TRUE))
}
}
#cls() # test
# If you want to make sure that it worked (well, not 100% sure, but...)
res <- cls()
if (res) cat("Console should be cleared now!\n")

Best,

Philippe Grosjean

P.S.: Gabor, I would like to include this function in the SciViews 
bundle. Would it be a problem for you?

On my terminal, this required the addition of cursor homing
to replicate the effects of using the OS to clear the screen.

system_cls <- function() system("clear")
vt100_cls  <- function() cat("\033[2J\033[H")

Of course there's a way, or Rgui couldn't do it.  The menu item calls 
the function "menuclear", which is exported from R.dll, currently with 
definition

void menuclear(control m)
{
 consoleclear(RConsole);
}

You don't have access to a valid value for m, but since it's not used, 
that shouldn't matter.  Write a C function to import this function from 
R.dll and call it.

You shouldn't count on your function working in any newer release; 
menuclear is not part of the published API.  And you shouldn't expect 
your code to work if you're running in Rterm or on any platform other 
than Windows.  But if you're desperate to call it, you can.

Brian Ripley has made many of the menu operations in Rgui available 
through R functions.  Perhaps they all should be; would you like to 
write the code to do it?  If so, please write up the R interface before 
you go ahead and do all the work.  I expect there will be some 
disagreement there, and it might affect the implementation.

The only way I can think of is to do write a lot of empty lines, e.g.

cat(rep("\n",64))

You will not get the prompt at the upper-left corner.   Better than nothing.

Re: [R] how to clear screen in R-console?

2006-02-16 Thread Henrik Bengtsson
Hi,

depends on what type of terminal you are running.  For example, if you
run R in a VT100 terminal, you can try

cat("The following VT100 escape sequence will clear the screen on a
VT100 terminal\n")
cat("\033[2J")  # [2J  == Clear Screen
cat("If the screen was cleared you should only see this sentence.\n")

i.e.

vt100ClearScreen <- function(...) cat("\033[2J")

Some links:
http://www.fh-jena.de/~gmueller/Kurs_halle/esc_vt100.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VT100

Note, this is not guaranteed to work everywhere.  To the best of my
knowledge, you will not be able to do anything like this in Rgui on
Windows.

Cheers

Henrik

Re: [R] Console

2005-08-19 Thread Sean O'Riordain
Hi Daniela,

Are you using the GUI (RGui.exe) or are you using R.exe inside the
cmd.exe console? if the latter then you can right click on the blue
bar at the top, select properties, and change "Screen Buffer Size" /
Height to be something like 9000... then you can just use your mouse
to slider back up to stuff you missed...

On the number of questions per day... I think if you go through the
"Posting Guide"
http://www.r-project.org/posting-guide.html, the "Introduction to R",
the FAQs (normal and Windows) http://cran.r-project.org/faqs.html and
the other ancillary documentation, such asR-Tips
http://www.ku.edu/~pauljohn/R/Rtips.html... all of which are mentioned
in the Posting Guide... :-)

The process of going through the posting guide each time, while a bit
tedious is an incredible learning experience... many posts to the list
just would never happen if the author went to the trouble of going
through the posting guide... admittedly the introductory documentation
is not as good as it could be and is a bit terse in places...

However, that said, I am also a relative beginner at R, I try to read
and understand every post, most of them just go straight over my head
as my statistical skills are severely lacking and when people start
talking about GLMs all I hear is a whooshing sound over my head :-)

One way that I have found useful for learning is to pick on questions
which are at my level and try and answer them... and in answering
them, I learn with you. Of course sometimes I give sub-optimal
answers, but there are plenty of experts around to nudge us in the
right direction :-)

cheers!
Sean

Which platform are you working on?  If you're working within a console

"visualize" suggests plotting.

do you mean "how do I look at the whole dataset?"  you could print a few lines
at a time, say  X[1:25,].  With bigger datasets I usually look at the 
file in a
text editor like emacs...

You have probably got something bad in your startup files.  See 
appendices B.1 and B.2 of the R-intro manual for all the details.  In 
summary, R looks in Renviron.site, Rprofile.site, .Rprofile, .RData and 
Rconsole for startup information.  (Where it looks is complicated; see 
the manual.) There are command line options to tell it to skip these; in 
particular, --vanilla tells it to skip all of them.

I'd guess your problem is with Rconsole, because that's where the 
console settings are normally saved.  Rename it to something else and 
your problems should go away.

Re: [R] Console not found

2005-07-29 Thread Prof Brian Ripley
Sounds like you have corrupted your Rconsole file.

Fire up rterm and try ?Rconsole and/or read the rw-FAQ to find the file 
that it is use.  It is not removed by uninstalling, and you do need to 
remove it.

(The console settings have nothing whatsoever to do with memory settings.)

Your matrices are not particularly large, BTW, provided you have 1GB or 
more of RAM.  If you have much less, adding some RAM is the most effective 
way of using R.

[R] Console not found

2005-07-29 Thread Manuel Schneider
I played around with memory limits in R 2.1.0 under XP in order to be 
able to work with large matrixes (3600x4100). Among several things I 
tried was to alter console settings and saving them.
Since then, I can't restart Rgui. It says several times 'Console not 
found' with pieces of the text that usually appears in the console and 
then crashes. Rterm.exe works fine.
I've now unistalled R 2.1.0 and installed R 2.1.1 with no effect, still 
console is not found.
Any clues on this?

Re: [R] Rcmdr -> doItAndPrint -> summary method of S4-class object not in Rcmdr window but R Console

2004-11-22 Thread Prof Brian Ripley
The FAQ Q8.1 does recommend that summary() methods do not print themselves 
but returned a classed object to be printed.

What doItAndPrint does is to capture the result of an explicit print, so 
it will only work for summary methods that follow that recommendation.

I do think doItAndPrint should be capturing all the output from a function 
via sink(), and not just the print of the final result.

[R] Rcmdr -> doItAndPrint -> summary method of S4-class object not in Rcmdr window but R Console

RE: [R] console under Mandrake

2004-10-22 Thread Adrian Dusa
Thank you for your both answers,

As you might have guessed, I am initiating myself in the Linux wizardry. I
have absolutely nothing against command line, I was just heavily used to the
Windows console mode; a terminal window is just fine. Actually, I only used
the console to install packages from CRAN, anyway; I'm sure I'll find the
commands for this.
I read the manuals; it probably didn't work for me because I do not use GNOME
but KDE.

So command line it is... and most probably ESS.
Best regards,
Adrian

Actually, that one is more of a script submission device. (It has
nowhere to just type and press Enter, you need to edit, select, and
press Submit. Which is a good thing for some modes of operation.)

You'll find that the Linux consoles are not nearly as developed as the
Windows one and hardly anyone is using --gui. There are two good reasons:

1) It's really not that horrible to use the command line in a terminal
   window on Linux.

2) Many people like to use ESS (see the FAQ) and run everything from
   Emacs.

and of course the bad reason: That there isn't much there. However,
had there been a real need, someone would likely have put in the
relevant improvements.

I'm not sure if and how it works on Windows, but on Unix one of the
better kept secrets of the readline library is that you can embed
newlines by typing ctr-V ctr-J, e.g.

> x <- matrix(c(1,2,3,
4,5,6,
7,8,9), 3)

The nice thing is that it allows you to recall the entire command and
edit it (I don't think it survives being saved to the history file
though). If you have ever had to correct a typo in an expression that
has been split over 8 lines, you'll know what I mean:

up,up,up,up,up,up,up,up,RET,
up,up,up,up,up,up,up,up,RET,

Maybe looking to the manuals will be more precise than my 
answer.

+ is a continuity sign and means you did not finished your imput 
and you shall continue typing your command.

But why you do not use any text ditor for writing functions and 
than copy/paste to R command window?

The R prompt should be though of as a one line editor or rather one
expression editor. You can not "step" between lines etc while editing an
expression. The "+" in front of each row placed there by R indicating
that even if you have typed ENTER the expression is not finished and
that R expect you to close it (normally by closing brackets, parentesis
etc). The "+" is just an indicator and will not be included in your
expression.
What you really want to do when you create functions etc is to write the
up in an external text editor, save them with the extension *.R, e.g.
"twosam.R", and the use source to read the function in to R, i.e.
  > source("twosam.R")

Make sure to save your twosam.R file as *text*. If you're using Windows
you can use Notepad to do this. Also, you have to save the file in the
working directory of R. You can find the current working directory of R
by
  > getwd()

Alternatively, you'll have to specify the full path to the file when

Re: [R] writing several command line in R console

2003-03-03 Thread Spencer Graves
You can start the first line with "(".  Then everything you write will 
NOT be syntactically complelte until you issue the closing ")".  I 
learned this from Venables and Ripley, Modern Applied Statistics with S.

The "+" sign in front of each line is NOT something you should enter:  R 
changes its prompt to tell you that the previous line was not 
syntactically complete.

I prefer to keep my code someplace else and then transfer a complete 
function into R at one time.  See

Hi R lovers

I would like to know how to step to the next line in the R console 
editor without breaking the continuity of my code
more clearly : if for example I write a function, so far i have to write 
the all code inside on the same line wich may become obscure as the 
function is more and more complex.
I would like to do like in the example of the manuels:

twosam <- function(y1, y2) {
   n1  <- length(y1); n2  <- length(y2)
   yb1 <- mean(y1);   yb2 <- mean(y2)s1  <- var(y1);s2  <- var(y2)
   s <- ((n1-1)*s1 + (n2-1)*s2)/(n1+n2-2)
   tst <- (yb1 - yb2)/sqrt(s2*(1/n1 + 1/n2))tst  }
all I can do is something like that:

twosam <- function(y1, y2) {n1  <- length(y1); n2  <- length(y2)


+yb1 <- mean(y1);   yb2 <- mean(y2)s1  <- var(y1);s2  <- 
var(y2)
+s <- ((n1-1)*s1 + (n2-1)*s2)/(n1+n2-2)
+   tst <- (yb1 - yb2)/sqrt(s2*(1/n1 + 1/n2))tst  }

with the sign "+" in front of each line
What does this sign mean? and how could I solve my problems
Thanks

[R] writing several command line in R console

   s <- ((n1-1)*s1 + (n2-1)*s2)/(n1+n2-2)
   tst <- (yb1 - yb2)/sqrt(s2*(1/n1 + 1/n2))tst  }
