The potential problem with .RData is that it's not just a file that saves the contents of the R workspace at the end of a session, but that the saved workspace is then loaded at the start of a subsequent session. This can create problems (again, not just for the Rcmdr) in that subsequent session, and not only when R is updated. > But let me take the opportunity to express a huge thank you for your work on > Rcmdr.

Dear John, thank you for your prompt reply. An inexperienced user like me tends to see the .Rdata folder like the document folder for other programs, and, as one doesn't have to delete the document folder when updating Libreoffice, tends to think the same for R. But let me take the opportunity to express a huge thank you for your work on Rcmdr. For people like me, who do statistical analyses just a few times a year, it is a very precious resource, which can also serve as an introduction to command-line R. As an applied linguist with a background in semiotics, I would have plenty of reasons to explain why a graphic interface is such a good thing. As a taxpayer, I appreciate the fact that it makes us saves money as it allows students and researchers in the humanities, like me, to do some basic statistics without buying SPSS licences.

Re: [R] R commander (Rcmdr) won't start [SOLVED]
Dear Gabriele, I'm glad that you were able to solve your problem. I spent a bit of time today updating my R from 3.6.0 to 3.6.1 and updating all R packages on Ubuntu, and, for what is now an obvious reason, I was unable to duplicate the problem. Saving the .Rhistory file is benign but saving the R workspace at the end of a session in .RData can be problematic, and not just for the Rcmdr. You'll notice that while R makes saving the workspace the default (presumably to avoid inadvertent data loss, and in my opinion not a good default choice), the Rcmdr doesn't offer to save the R workspace when you select "File > Exit > From Commander and R" from the Rcmdr menus.

Re: [R] R commander (Rcmdr) won't start [SOLVED]
Experienced R users avoid creating .Rdata files (with nothing in front of the period) because R will automatically load them and any mistakes recorded there can interfere with future uses of R when started from the directory containing that file. RData files with something in front of the period can be loaded interactively and any problems they bring can be avoided by simply not choosing to load them. .Rhistory files have no such negative effect... it is highly unlikely that that file was causing you any problems. They are just a record of R commands that have been used and are only retrieved by R user interfaces such as Rgui or RStudio upon request.

[R] R commander (Rcmdr) won't start [SOLVED]
I managed to get Rcmdr working simply by deleting the .Rdata and .Rhistory file from the work directory. It is rather weird, as I thought they only contained data and settings, but probably some of these belonged to the older version of R/Rcmdr and were not compatible with the new version. I'll keep the old data files in a separate folder and try to open them as a workspace after launching Rcmdr, but I won't do it now as I need Rcmdr to work in the next days and I don't want to take any risks...

[R] R commander (Rcmdr) won't start
Hallo I've been using R and R commander (Rcmdr) for some years, never had problems. I'm on Xubuntu 16.04. Yesterday I updated R from 3.4.4 to 3.6.1 and all sorts of problems occurred. Firstly I completely removed R from my system, including old directories (with some hiccups, I must admit). Then I installed R and R-dev without issues. Had some issues installing Rcmdr, but in the end I met all the requirements and installed all the requested packages, including rgl and a few others that were requested upon first launching Rcmdr. After that, no more error messages. However, whenever I launch R commander I get these lines, which don't mention any problem, but the GUI won't launch. > library(Rcmdr) Carico il pacchetto richiesto: splines Carico il pacchetto richiesto: RcmdrMisc Carico il pacchetto richiesto: car Carico il pacchetto richiesto: carData Carico il pacchetto richiesto: sandwich Carico il pacchetto richiesto: effects Registered S3 methods overwritten by 'lme4': method from cooks.distance.influence.merMod car influence.merModcar dfbeta.influence.merMod car dfbetas.influence.merModcar lattice theme set by effectsTheme() See ?effectsTheme for details. After seeing, if I type library(Rcmdr) again, nothing happens. I installed Hmisc, leaps and aplpack, as these were indicated as possible solutions, but to no avail.

Re: [R] R Commander qcc
Welcome to R and the R-help list. If I am not misunderstanding you, you expect use the qcc package from within the Rcmdr GUI. I have never really used RCommander, though I played around with it a few years ago, but I don't believe it can call qcc directly. I 'think' you have the choice of using qcc from a command line interface or possibly installing a plug-in for Rcmder. Have a look at this link http://decisionstats.com/2011/01/27/r-commander-plugins-20-and-growing/ BTW you might also be interested in this link http://blog.yhathq.com/posts/quality-control-in-r.html for other approaches to control charts. While a good Gui like Rcmdr is useful you really will not get the full power of R with a Gui. It can be a bit intimidating to use a command interface if you are not used to one but it is by far the best way. It may not seem it but it is much more efficient in the longer term to go to a command-line interface. There is also the issue of whether there is an integration for the package and your Gui. Luckily, it looks like there is a Rcmdr plugin for qcc but there are probably 100's, or more likely, 1000's of packages with such a plug-in and you cannot capitalize on them other than with a command-line approach. You can use R by typing commands into the R-GUI (assuming you are using Windows) or by typing in the terminal under Linux but this does not work well. Most/all R users do all their writing in a text editor or Integrated Development Environment (IDE). There are some fierce wars over which editor or IDE is best.

It's worth shopping around to see what best suits you.

A major advantage of Tinn-R and gedit , particularly if you are just getting started, is that they both have extensive code highlighting which makes it easier to find and fix minor syntax errors and typos.

Re: [R] R Commander qcc
Dear John and Greg, As John says, even with the about 40 plugin packages that are on CRAN (the R package archive network), the Rcmdr covers only a small fraction of what's available in base R and the thousands of CRAN packages. As it turns out, however, there's an Rcmdr quality-control plugin that may meet Greg's needs, RcmdrPlugin.qual http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RcmdrPlugin.qual/index.html. You might check that out. Install it via the command install.packages(RcmdrPlugin.qual) at the R command prompt, and then either load it via the Rcmdr Tools menu or directly via library(RcmdrPlugin.qual). More generally, the names of most Rcmdr plugins begin with RcmdrPlugin.. If you go to the alphbetical CRAN packages list at http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/available_packages_by_name.html and search for RcmdrPlugin., you'll see them. Searching for Rcmdr will turn up a few more.

It's worth shopping around to see what best suits you. I have found Tinn-R very good when working in Windows though, recently, I have moved to Linux and to the IDE, RStudio and the gedit text editor with its R plug-in. A major advantage of Tinn-R and gedit , particularly if you are just getting started, is that they both have extensive code highlighting which makes it easier to find and fix minor syntax errors and typos. RStudio has several advantages, among other things, it shows what data objects you have loaded and makes saving and handling graphs easier . BW one of the obvious things I missed when first using R was that you can just copy and paste code into R if you are working through an example to see what is happening John Kane Kingston ON Canada -Original Message- From: gjkr...@gmail.com Sent: Sat, 16 May 2015 15:39:12 -0700 (PDT) To: r-help@r-project.org Subject: [R] R Commander qcc I am completely new to R and am trying to utilize its capabilities as an alternative to Minitab.

[R] R Commander and FactoMineR
Dear Users, I helped to install R Commander and FactoMineR to one of my collegaues. He wanted to do an MCA. Selecting three variables and using the default settings results in only one graph, the variables representation, where he gets three points for the three variables (which is totally fine). Running the code (output of the point-and-click method) EuTop100.MCA-EuTop100[, c(ország, szektor, székhely)] res-MCA(EuTop100.MCA, ncp=5, graph = FALSE) plot.MCA(res, axes=c(1, 2), col.ind=black, col.ind.sup=blue, col.var=darkred, col.quali.sup=darkgreen, label=c(ind, ind.sup, quali.sup, var, quanti.sup), invisible=c(, new.plot=TRUE)) plot.MCA(res, axes=c(1, 2), choix=var, col.var=darkred, col.quali.sup=darkgreen, label=c(var, quali.sup), invisible=c(, new.plot=TRUE)) plot.MCA(res, axes=c(1, 2), choix=quanti.sup, col.quanti.sup=blue, label=c(quanti.sup, new.plot=TRUE)) remove(EuTop100.MCA) however should result in three graphs. What went wrong? MCA(EuTop100.MCA) just works fine.

Re: [R] R Commander - Time Series
I don't think a lot of people here use R Commander so diagnosing something from there may be difficult. Probably the first thing to do is to supply us with some sample data. The best way do do this is usually to use the dput() command and just copy and paste the output into your email . If it is a lot of data try something like head(dput(mydata, 50)) which should supply 50 rows of data.. I think you can do this by typing it in the Script window. Also we should see the output window commands and error messages. BTW, nice as Rcmdr is, in the longer run, I think you are better off with a terminal and good R editor. Tinn-R for Windows or gedit for linux are not bad and some fanatics love EMACS with ESS :) Wecome to R.

Re: [R] R Commander - Time Series
Dear Billpete002, This looks to me like it's possibly a bug in RcmdrPlugin.epack -- that is, you may have done something wrong, but I'd expect in this case that the timeseries plug=in would intercept the error and return an informative error message. You might want to correspond directly with the author of the plug-in package, Erin Hodgess. I'm copying my response to Erin in case she didn't notice your posting.

Re: [R] R Commander options
Dear Michael, This ended up being more of a mess than I anticipated, but I think that I now have font selection working as advertised on both Windows and Mac OS X. I don't have a convenient Linux system to test on at the moment, but the Rcmdr should behave on Linux as on Mac OS X. (1) The default.font Rcmdr option now works on both Windows and non-Windows systems, but fonts are specified in Tk form; there's an example in ?Commander. (2) The default.font.size and log.font.size Rcmdr options control respectively the point-size of GUI elements and R input/output/messages. These too work on both Windows and non-Windows systems. On non-Windows systems the default.font.size option will generally be preferable to the default.font option; if both are specified, the latter is used. (3) The scale.factor option still doesn't work reliably on non-Windows systems. On Windows systems, in most cases, specifying scale.factor will be more convenient than specifying default.font.size and log.font.size. (4) The Tools - Options dialog allows the user to set the default font size option on non-Windows systems and the scale factor option on Windows systems. I don't think that you previous option specifications would have done what you want even if the current version of the Rcmdr were working properly. In the new setup, I think you want something like options(Rcmdr = list(default.font.size=15, log.font.size = 15, log.width = 54, log.height = 6, output.height = 18, )) If you really want to scale up the fonts from 15 points by a factor of 1.4, use 21 points. All of these changes are in the development version 1.8-2 of the Rcmdr package on R-Forge. You should be able to get the most up-to-date version (now revision 173) via svn, or you can wait until R-Forge builds the source package, which is usually done daily (check the revision number at https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=255). Please let me know whether this works properly for you now. I'm copying this response to Rich Heiberger, since the changes may affect him.

[R] R Commander options
I realize this is basic, but I can't figure out the syntax for setting options for R Commander. I'm running Linux Mint and want to increase the R Commander font sizes. I see that there are (apparently command line) options to do so. I have a desktop launcher with the following command line: sh -c 'R_DEFAULT_PACKAGES=$R_DEFAULT_PACKAGES Rcmdr R $@' Can this be modified to override default font sizes? Alternatively, I've started Rcmdr from the terminal with R library(Rcmdr) but again, can't figure out where to insert the options settings to change the font size. Could someone provide the exact syntax to accomplish this? Sorry about the basic nature of the question - I've read everything I could find on the Web and it just keeps saying the same thing over and over.

It is very easy.
Here is my Projector() function from library(RcmdrPlugin.HH)
Projector - function() {
Rcmdr - options()$Rcmdr
Projector.options -
list(log.font.size = 15,
log.width = 54,
log.height = 6,
output.height = 18,
scale.factor = 1.4)
Rcmdr[names(Projector.options)] - Projector.options
options(Rcmdr=Rcmdr)
trellis.par.set(list(superpose.symbol=list(
pch=rep(16,
length(trellis.par.get(superpose.symbol)$pch))),
plot.symbol=list(pch=16)))
par(pch=16)
putRcmdr(autoRestart, TRUE)
closeCommander(ask=FALSE)
Commander()
}
Projector()
I use it to set a large font for classroom presentations.

Re: [R] R Commander QQ Plot with triangular distribution
Thank you for your prompt reply, I apologize for posting as an R Commander question. Your response is pointing me in the right direction, but I am still not quite there. The triangle package has a qtriangle and dtriangle. The formal arguments are a, b, and c. (formals(qtriangle)) When I use R Commander as: qqPlot(Transfer5000$Transfer.Rate, dist=triangle, a=3000,b=5000,c=4000) I get the error message: Error in qqPlot.default(Transfer5000$Transfer.Rate, dist = triangle, : argument 5 matches multiple formal arguments and I am unclear as to how to specify that the c argument needs to pertain specifically to the qtriangle (or perhaps dtriangle) function arguments, that is, how to avoid a conflict with other arguments of qqPlot that are ambiguous when passed c.. Again, sorry to post here, as this has clearly wandered into other territory. My exploratory searches to resolve this take me well beyond my current ability in R. If there is not an obvious answer, I will re-post specifically on the topic of specifying formal arguments of distributions to qqPlot. Thanks.

[R] R-Commander plug-in difficulties
Hi All,
I have recently created an Rcmdr plugin package and it passed all the
checks and was uploaded to CRAN. I then downloaded it from CRAN and
tried running it from my local R program and received this error:
...
Error in f(libname, pkgname) : could not find function getRcmdr
Error in library(pkg, character.only = TRUE) :
.First.lib failed for 'RcmdrPlugin.MAc'
In my .R file with all the relevant functions that are read into the
package, I have placed this at the top, which seems to be related to
one of the sources of error (?):
.packageName - RcmdrPlugin.MAc
.First.lib - function(libname, pkgname){
if (!interactive()) return()
Rcmdr - options()$Rcmdr
plugins - Rcmdr$plugins
if ((!pkgname %in% plugins) !getRcmdr(autoRestart)) {
Rcmdr$plugins - c(plugins, pkgname)
options(Rcmdr=Rcmdr)
closeCommander(ask=FALSE, ask.save=TRUE)
Commander()
}
}
I am not exactly sure how to proceed--I appreciate any suggestions.
AC

Re: [R] R-Commander plug-in difficulties
Your package (RcmdrPlugin.MAc on CRAN) does not depend on Rcmdr. I
suppose you mean the getRcmdr in Rcmdr, and that will be not available
when your package is loaded in a vanilla session.
My guess is that you intended such a dependence (in the Depends line
in the DESCRIPTION file). It passed the checks because the line
if (!interactive()) return()
ensured that they did nothing at all. I am also guessing that you
did manual checks in an interactive session with Rcmdr already loaded.

Re: [R] R commander.
thank u so much for ur help,,i have tried it before,,and succeded to do
so,,the problem is that, in the next stage of the package i am facing a
problem which i dont know how to fix,,,i am useing cnvpack (
http://www.meb.ki.se/~yudpaw/) and in the following command i get an
error,,which is..
cnvr-setreg(out,anno.list= myann,pheno.data= mypheno,high.conf= NA,LIM=
2,method= COVER, cnv.abnormality= both)
Error in setreg(out, anno.list = myann, pheno.data = mypheno, high.conf =
NA, :
NAs in foreign function call (arg 4)
i then manipulate my data (out) and made high.conf=0, then it shows me
this error...
cnvr-setreg(out,anno.list= myann,pheno.data= mypheno,high.conf=0,LIM=
2,method= COVER, cnv.abnormality= both)

Re: [R] R commander.
You seem to have gotten an extraneous list item called Chromosome to
which an empty string has been assigned. What happens if you issue
this command:
ann2 - data.frame( Name=ann$Name, Position=ann$Position,
Chr.num=factor(ann$Chr.num) )
(I took the liberty of making Chr.num into a factor.) And then print
out smaller segments of ann2 (since what you have would take many
hundreds of pages.

Perhaps stating the obvious: That remark was intended as tongue-in-cheek Apart from protecting people from doing foolish things (there's a famous quote about that, though), there's also the aspect that an interface gets simpler if you reduce the number of choices.

Rcmdr is a bit holier than the prophet when it comes to insisting that categorical variables are coded as factors, so my immediate guess is that the variable that you're charting is actually numeric.
