Well, if you removed your installed packages together with R then of course you need to reinstall them consider installing the packages in a separate directory, not in the R tree. (I install packages into ~/.R/library on my Linux box for example.) This way at the next R update you don't need

Re: [R] stop current computation does not work?

2006-05-16 Thread Gabor Csardi
Also this may depend on the package you're using. For some functions in some packages ctrl+c (or anything else) does not work. This is because C code cannot be interrupted unless it is written with some care, and there are some packages which do not support interruption. At least my igraph

The process that you outlined is described in the Windows R FAQ 2.8 What's the best way to upgrade?. The same process should apply to other platforms as well, but I don't think it is in the general R FAQ. Perhaps it should. -Christos -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [R] adding line to spinogram/histogram/etc solved

Thanks loads, extremely useful. So just for the record again. You have to get into the viewport that contains the actual graphplot with the axes. So, how you do it: 1. viewports have names. In case of histograms the relevant viewport is something like plotA.panel.X.Y.vp where A is the plot

Daer John, Thanks! My problem is that in the mentioned packages (irr, condord, and psy) only a n*m matrix for subjects and raters can be given as data. So I can not give the repetitions as data and therefore it will be impossible to get results for the INTRArater reliability. Regards, Karl
