[Rd] Mailing lists R-devel and R-core .. moderation

Because of spam, increasingly slipping through all our filters, I've changed the configurations of the R-devel and R-core mailing lists {and will do the same for those R-SIG-* lists that I maintain}, such that only subcribers can freely post. Everyone else's post will have to wait on moderator's

Re: [Rd] Phonetic symbols (IPA) in R graphics

Hi, I am not familiar with how R deals with postscript fonts, but I am fairly familiar with some font technology, so here are a few random thoughts: (1) You are not supposed to specify just any random font family string - postscript type 1 fonts contain their own family name inside. (read the top

[Rd] Error compiling on HP-UX

Dear all, I hope this is the right mailing list for my question -- I felt that this was too technical for R-help. I am trying to compile R-2.4.0 on a HP-UX system: ./configure MAKE=gmake --prefix=$HOME --without-x --without-tcltk --disable-R-profiling --without-readline --disable-multibyte

[Rd] .Rprofile not executed completely in 2.5.0

Dear all I do not usually post to R-devel, but I started to test R-2.5.0dev and encountered strange difference from 2.4.0 when loading Rgui under WXP. Both R builds are from CRAN executables and part of .Rprofile file is not executed in R-2.5.0. Here is my .Rprofile file contents

Re: [Rd] capturing value of C or Fortran function

[Rd] turning expression object to function

Dear all, I have the following problem. Given an expression object 'expr' containing a certain set of symbols (say 'a', 'b', 'c'), I would like to translate the expression object in an R function of, say, 'a', programmatically. Here an example of what I mean. Given: expr - expression(a+b+c) a

Re: [Rd] turning expression object to function

Here is one possibility. It does not use the second argument in your function call but instead assumes the arguments of the output function are those variables in the expression that have not been assigned in the list L in the order encountered. library(gsubfn) asFun - function(e, L = NULL, env

Re: [Rd] abline for intercept-only simple lm models (with and without offset)

The patch put in R-devel is broken and I have had to revert it. abline predates lm, and one can do things like (in the forecasting bundle) plot(sales,type=p) abline(lsfit(1:10,sales)) Error in terms.default(a) : no terms component About 10 CRAN packages were affected. What abline did is

Re: [Rd] turning expression object to function

This is what I tried, and it seemed to work, but maybe others can give better ideas, and also explain why the first attempt to assign the formal arguments didn't work (but the second did.) f - function() NULL formals(f) - list(b=1, c=2) f function (b = 1) 2 formals(f) - list(b=1, c=2)
