Your should tell us what come out means. If str(STX) gives integer,
then I am lost and you probably have a pre-0.01 version of R.

If you see

STX
[1] 16 16 16 16

then somewhere in your code you have set

options(digits=1).

[R] c() coverts real numbers to integers?

2009-03-06 Thread John Poulsen

Hello,

I know I am forgetting to do something silly.  I typed coordinates in
vectors (as below) but when I call them in R they come out as integers,
and I want them to be real numbers.  I have tried using as.numeric,
as.real, etc... but they are still read by R as integers.

STX-c(16.0962, 16.1227, 16.0921, 16.1498)
STY-c(2.0387, 2.0214, 1.9877, 1.9846)

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help,
John

There are real numbers:

 STX-c(16.0962, 16.1227, 16.0921, 16.1498)
 STY-c(2.0387, 2.0214, 1.9877, 1.9846)
 str(STX)
 num [1:4] 16.1 16.1 16.1 16.1
 str(STY)
 num [1:4] 2.04 2.02 1.99 1.98


So what is your question?

 STX-c(16.0962, 16.1227, 16.0921, 16.1498)
 STY-c(2.0387, 2.0214, 1.9877, 1.9846)

Did you perhaps redefine c()?

Or:
 options()$digits

If not, then what do these say:

str(STX)
str(STY)

Thanks!  That solved it.  I obviously had done something stupid.  I just 
redefined my options(digits=7) and they are all there.  Sorry for the 
silly question, and thanks for the suggestion towards options().


Thanks!
John
