[Rd] new.packages --- wishlist (PR#8239)

2005-10-21 Thread kjetil
new.packages() misses a destdir argument as in update.packages() and install.packages(). Adding this new argument is very little work, so please do it! Kjetil -- __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel

Dear Prof. Ripley, Thanks for your suggestion. Yes, R CMD INSTALL also failed and the problem was indeed in the data directory. There were some files (.R) in the data directory, which were creating the error. After removing them, R CMD check works fine. Best, Nitin -Original Message

I've posted this earlier and have not heard much so far. I'd really appreciate any guidance on this as we are about to order new hardware. We are buying Dell workstations with Red Hat Linux and 64-bit Xeon CPUs to run R. We could add a second processor to each system, or buy slightly faster sin

I've also noticed the behaviour of grid.rect() has changed in 2.2.0. Before the fill defaulted to transparent, but now it defaults to white. Hadley On 10/21/05, Gabor Grothendieck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The following: > > library(grid) > grid.newpage() > example(Grid) > > has the yaxis lab

The following: library(grid) grid.newpage() example(Grid) has the yaxis label partly cut off and the x axis label does not appear at all. Also ?grid.multipanel in that example brings up documentation for grid-internal but this would not seem to be internal if its part of an example. I am using:

Yes, but only, it seems, if you put quotes around all the fields (not just the "A B C"). Also a note to Excel users, when adding quotes as suggested "A B C" is saved as """A B C""" which R reads in differently than Excel. For my purposes though, everyone who needs to edit this file can just do s

Thanks for this. I tried switching the file extension from txt to tab, but it seems to still split on whitespace rather than tabs. My goal is to create a file that is both readable by R and by a spreadsheet program, and that may contain white spaces. If tab-delimited separation is not currently
