default?
Thank you

Can you provide a sensible justification for "post hoc power analysis?
I know the terminology has crept into widespread use due to its
existence in either SAS or SPSS (I forget which), but I have doubts
about its validity. It mixes up the order of statistical testing
logic. Power analysis is something done _before_ the study. If a
statistical procedure is done after a study's data is collected with
the very dubious assumption that the sample statistics are the
population statistics, it's not a power analysis.

These look like the functions present in the 'polynom' package
authored by Bill Venables [aut] (S original), Kurt Hornik [aut, cre]
(R port), Martin Maechler. I wasn't able to find a 'polynomial'
package on CRAN. The 'mpoly' package by David Kahle offers
multivariate symbolic operations as well.

Sorry, yes of course, it should be `library(polynom)`.
Somehow I'm making this mistake again and again.
And one has to be a bit careful about complex roots.

If you want lines that only span a portion of a plot area, then you
should be looking at the segments function.

As Greg said, you don't need to use skip.lines: just don't close the
file, and continue reading from where you stopped on the previous run.
If you don't know the size of blocks in advance this is harder, but it's
not really all that hard. The logic would be something like this:
open the file
read the first block including the header
while not done:
if you have a complete block with some extra lines at the end,
extract them and save them, then process the complete block.
Initialize the next block with the extra lines.
if the block is incomplete, read some more and append it
to what you saved.
end while
close the file
