Re: [R] The Future of R | API to Public Databases

2014-05-21 Thread antagomir 
Just a note on this earlier thread: R package collections for public APIs
seem to be now emerging and thriving in various disciplines: 

- Bioinformatics the Bioconductor collection contains many API packages
- rOpenSci: R tools for open science-related APIs 
- rOpenHealth: R tools for open healthcare-related APIs
- rOpenGov: R tools for open government data and computational social
science (disclaimer: I am one of the main developers for this one)

These community projects and aim to fill the gap discussed in this thread.
The APIs and needs are many, and best tackled with community-driven package
collections written by the actual users. 

Have a look at those projects - your contributions to any of them is
certainly welcome.

best,
Leo Lahti

Re: [R] How to enable Arial font for postcript/pdf figure on Windows?

2012-03-27 Thread antagomir 
Hi Agnes and Camille (and help-list),

In Ubuntu 11.10 I needed to use su permissions to copy and gzip the *.afm
files manually into /usr/lib/R/library/grDevices/afm/ to get the Arial
embedding to work in R for postscript. 

Ie. after following the instructions by Agnes and Camille, I did 
  sudo cp arial*.afm /usr/lib/R/library/grDevices/afm/
  gzip /usr/lib/R/library/grDevices/afm/arial*.afm

Then the postscript toy example in this thread worked.

Leo
