Do I need to do more to get Tk GUIs working on RH9 or does the RPM not have tcltk support built in (should I compile from source). Thanks in advance. There was in fact some discussion of this last month. I am not sure of the answer. But I installed 1.7.0 from the RPM for RH 9, and I got the same error message when trying to get Rcmdr to work. I did have tcl and tk installed. Unfortunately, I did not do a properly controlled experiment. I first installed tcllib, which was not installed originally. (That didn't help, by itself.) Then I re-installed R _from source_ and then everything worked. But I did have the basic vanilla installation of RH 9, and I did have this problem. So you aren't the only one. I still don't know whether tcllib is necessary, and whether the RPM itself installs different things depending on what is on the system. (I would assume not, but I'm not sure.) It shouldn't, but the RPM may be different depending on what was present on the system upon which it was built. Martyn may have been building on a system where tcl/tk wasn't installed, or -- there's a bug report on bugzilla.redhat.com on this -- the build was adversely affected by incorrectness of the tclConfig.sh and tkConfig.sh scripts. A fairly easy experiment would be to rebuild from the source RPM on your own system. Since this builds an RPM, it will retain the upgradability etc. of the official RPM. Could you try and tell us whether the problem remains? (Don't forget that you need a bunch of -devel packages installed.) I have rebuilt the RPM of R 1.7.0 for Red Hat 9 with tcltk support. (R-1.7.0-2.i386.rpm). It should be available on CRAN in a day or two. I apologise for this oversight. Martyn __ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help

Re: [R] Lattice levelplots and (partial) failure on some devices----Long
This is a Windows run-time quirk (bug): Linux gives nan. It's a problem with what grid/lattice sends the driver. Rather than put protection code in each driver, it needs to be in the central graphics code. We've been here several times before On Thu, 12 Jun 2003, Joel Kincaid wrote: Dear Community, (win XP home, sp1; R1.7 -- patched version, binary download, version of lattice obtained with patched version; the following applies to 1.6.2 as well.) The following message was originally composed to seek help. However I have 'hacked' a solution to the following behavior, but none the less someone might find this interesting. To reproduce my 'problem' you can use the following code: library(lattice) hypodata - expand.grid(ProdMult = seq(0,1,by=.1), WfMult = seq(0,1,by=.1), Tr=c(0,75)) hypodata$UnCC - 4.6 + (hypodata$ProdM^2) * (hypodata$Wf^3 ) hypodata$UnCC[1:121] - 4.6 testfault -levelplot(UnCC ~ WfMult + ProdMult | Tr, col.regions=grey(16:0/16), data=hypodata) If one enters testfault the you get the expected result (if a bit uninteresting). This being a blank first panel (hmmm, shouldn't it be 4.6) and then a second panel with a filled contour. (I have a much larger set of simulated data --- about 450 pages of figures, this 'blank' panel appears periodically and is of interest...) If you do pdf(file=testfault.pdf) #Error testfault dev.off() or postscript(...) then the file is created. Try to open with pdf reader or ghost script---can't be done!, you get the following error from the pdf file: There was an error processing a page. Two Few operands. and then you get An unrecognized token '-1.#J' was found. and then a blank sheet. Ghostscript returns the first occurrence of the token and then dies a proper death. Upon opening the pdf file in a text editor one easily locates the following chunk of 'stuff' .. pdf stuffET pdf stuffQ q -216.00 -216.00 864.00 864.00 re W n pdf stuffQ q 49.70 37.14 153.47 358.88 re W n pdf stuff1.000 1.000 1.000 rg pdf stuff -1.#J -1.#J m pdf stuff -1.#J -1.#J l pdf stuff -1.#J -1.#J l pdf stuff -1.#J -1.#J l pdf stuffh f A naive search and replace of -1.#J with 0.0 , and a save, does the trick. The file will now open in a pdf reader (as well as ghostscript). There is however, a message stating something to the effect that a problem has been found, but the file is being 'rebuilt'. Now what is interesting is that the above is only a problem for the pdf and postscript devices --- other devices, e.g. win.metafile, png, jpg, etc. work fine . (However a similar setup, I'll track it down it someone thinks it would be of use, will trigger a crash that seems to associated with the 'ntdll.dll' dyn. lnk. library(?) E.g from the event viewer I get... Faulting application rgui.exe, version 1.70.30515.0, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 5.1.2600.1106, fault address 0x000267cd : 6c707041 74616369 206e6f69 6c696146 0010: 20657275 75677220 78652e69 2e312065 0020: 332e3037 35313530 6920302e 746e206e 0030: 2e6c6c64 206c6c64 2e312e35 30303632 0040: 3031312e 74612036 6f20 20746573 0050: 32303030 64633736 0a0d ) If you use the data above and try things with the base package plots --- contour and filled.contour (for the constant 4.6 data), contour gives the error message: ...stack imbalance in internal contour and plots an empty graphics box. However it saves to all of the devices exactly as on the screen device. The following filled.contour( x=seq(0,1,by=.1), y=seq(0,1,by=.1), z=matrix(rep(4.6,121),nrow=11,ncol=11)) gives the expected 'slightly pink' filled contour and can be written to all of the devices with no problem. Thus it appear to me that there is some interaction between some of the devices and lattice (is the string -1.#J some kind of character set for NA or NaN or NULL???). I tried to find the area in the lattice code that seemed to deal with this issue and found some call to (i guess) C code around lines 4554 which deal with 'NA's in the datahowever I was a bit lost(Also searching the base code I could find no reference to the error message returned from the contour() example above) In summary, is there a way to avoid this issue and keep the 'blank' panels, and not have to do this search and replace (on a 450 page pdf file it takes about 15 mins ), cheers, Joel __ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help -- Brian D.

[R] Programcode and data in the same textfile
My request for a way of having both data and R-code in the same
textfile, resultet in a considerable number of very good suggestions,
that I will now summarize.
The boundary conditions for the problem were as follows: the data
should be written in the textfile in a format that was readable to the
human eye. And this ruled out the 'transposed' way of writing the
data, that is used in most help-files, eg. in ?model.matrix.
As the purpose of the exercise is to make the textfile easy to read,
there is a limit to how complicated the extra code should be -
otherwise it would make matters worse. I don't know if any of the
solutions below qualify in this sense - but I surely learned a lot
from them.
The most popular idea was using textConnection() in a combination with
read.table(). For instance Thomas Hotz wrote it like
# Solution by Thomas Hotz
MyFrame - read.table(textConnection(c(
'SexRespons',
'Male 1',
'Male 2',
'Female 3',
'Female 4'
)), header = T)
Gabor Grothendieck had a similar solution. James Holtman provided a
nifty trick to get rid of the strategically placed commas and
quotations, using escaped carriagereturns,
# Solution by James Holtman
MyFrame - read.table(textConnection('\
SexRespons \
Male 1 \
Male 2 \
Female 3 \
Female 4 \
'), header = T, skip = 1)
Duncan Temple Lang suggested that the entire textfile should be
wrapped up as XML, and parsed via the XML package. In the context of
me and my students, I think that this would be overkill, and I also
think it necessarily breaks the one-file boundary condition, but in a
larger context it seems like an excellent advise.
# Solution by Duncan Tempel Lang
# Content of myFile.q
doc
data
SexResponse
Male 1
Male 2
Female 3
Female 4
/data
code
..
/code
/doc
To read the data,
tr = xmlRoot(xmlTreeParse(myFile.q))
read.table(textConnection(xmlValue(tr[[data]])), header=TRUE)
and to access the code text
xmlValue(tr[[code]])
A number of approaches not based on textConnection() emerged, though.
Torsten Hothorn suggested that the data should be surrounded by some
kind of print-statement, writing it to a temporary file. Then
read.table() could be used to retrieve the data:
# Torsten Hothorns solution:
tmpfilename - tempfile()
tmpfile - file(tmpfilename, 'w')
cat(
'SexRespons',
'Male 1',
'Male 2',
'Female 3',
'Female 4',
file = tmpfile, sep='\n')
close(tmpfile)
read.table(tmpfilename, header = TRUE)
Barry Rowlingson suggested that the data should be written as a vector
of characters, and then shaped by hand:
# Barry Rowlingsons solution
data - c(
'Sex', 'Respons',
'Male', 1,
'Female', 2,
'Male', 3,
'Male', 2,
)
ncol - 2
nrow - length(data)/ncol
heads - data[1:ncol];data - data[-(1:ncol)]
asDF - data.frame(matrix(data,ncol=ncol,byrow=T))
asDF[,2] - as.numeric(asDF[,2])
names(asDF) - heads
Finally, Thomas Blackwell and Greg Louis implemented a nice idea,
where the data are commented out in the textfile, but where a call to
read.table() from within the file, makes it read exactly those lines,
using a different convention for comments:
# Greg Louis' solution
MyFrame - read.table('myFile.q', header = T,
skip = 28, nrows = 4, comment.char=)[-1]
# SexRespons
# Male 1
# Male 2
# Female 3
# Female 4
Exactly how lines that will need to be skipped depends on the
circumstances. nrows is the number of cases in the dataframe.
The original request follows below.
Thank you all for participating.

The program should act on the data, if the textfile is source()'ed

[R] RDCOM Client: processes not terminating
Hello I am using Duncan Lang's RDCOM Client package (available on omegahat.org) under R 1.7.0 and Windows XP Pro. Is this the right forum for questions about this package? In case it is, here is my question: Instances of COM objects do not seem to terminate as expected, but leave residual processes running. For example, if I try the simple example: E - COMCreate(Excel.Application) E[[Visible]] - TRUE E$Quit() An Excel application is created and pops up visibly. The E$Quit() command appears to close the application down as expected, but an EXCEL process is still left running in the background (as indicated by e.g. the Windows Task Manager). Is there a way to cleanly exit the COM instance and shut down the associated process? Thanks, David __ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help

Re: [R] Using jpeg() function over cgi
Yes, it has been solved and discussed in the R-help archives many times. The help(jpeg) page is pretty explicit too. One alternative is bitmap(). To use jpeg() under a Unix-alike you need to set up an X server that your R process can use. It's a bit hard to help you do that when you don't even mention your OS (I am inferring it is a Unix-alike), but you may be able to solve the permissions problem or you may be able to set by a server by something like Xvfb.

[R] Using PCA
Dear R-help! I ask you to help me with my problems with using R. First, I ask you to forgive my bad English! I try to use R in my study. Subject of my work is comparative study of flora of lakes in different regions of Russia. I have done floristical descriptions of 152 lakes (I think it's enough) and have tabulated it. As data I have a table, such has 152 rows (lakes) 290 variables (species of plants). Thus, there is frequency of species of plants in every cell of this table. I wanted to search some groups between these lakes. I have done this searching with cluster analysis (cutree(hclust(dist(DATA,manh),ward),4)). Then I apply principal component analysis: == ##loading data (DATA) ##loading the list of groups (GROUPS) d.prc-princomp(DATA) palette(rainbow(length(unique(GROUPS plot(d.prc$scores,type=n,main=Principal Component Analysis,xlab=Different groups of lakes have different color-labeling) text(d.prc$scores,labels=GROUPS,col=GROUPS,cex=.6) == I have received attached plot as a result. Both I and my supervisor of studies are agree with clustering. You can see 4 groups in this figure. Write to me please your opinion, if these groups are authentic. Could you present any criteria of existence of distinguishable groups and any criteria of allocation of these groups? Can I use PCA as instrument to test visually clustering? I heard some opinion: PCA is for visual allocating of the groups and then you can search hypothetical parameter to explain groupping. But you cannot use PCA for looking for the loadings (influence) of variables on the groupping. Is it true? Could you advise to me some other methods to analyze. --- Best wishes, Altshuler Eugenij P. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] __ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help

[R] building RPMs for R packages
hi all- apologies if this question has come up before; i took a swing through a few months of archives and didn't turn anything up. i'm a linux systems administrator, and we're running R across a beowulf cluster. i've been asked to install the bioconductor package, for which i can't find RPMs. the recommended way to do this on the bioconductor home page is via R CMD INSTALL, which seems to be the standard way to install R packages. however, i want to make an RPM out of bioconductor, since i have to deploy it to 48 machines and i want rpm to track the versioning and dependencies. also, the machines are very homogenous and there's no reason compilation should occur on each. so could someone who's built R extension RPM packages give me some pointers? a SRPM for a package would be invaluable. thanks for your time. __ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help

Dear R-helpers,
I'm having trouble compiling R packages from source on Win2K.
I installed R 1.7.1beta [1] on my win2k machine [2],
downloaded the fields package as source [3] and tried but
failed to install the package [4]. I get the same problem
with other packages, so it doesn't appear to be limited to

Rcmd install fields_1.3-1.tar.gz
which dies with the error

cp: cannot stat `c:/tmp/R.INSTALL/fields/chm/fields.chm': No
such file or directory
make[1]: *** [chm-fields] Error 1
make: *** [pkg-fields] Error 2
*** Installation of fields failed ***
A couple of things:
1. I believe the build need to be done from a command prompt (a.k.a.
MSDOS), rather than the cygwin bash. The potential problem (at least the
one I know about) is that the cygwin bash by default prepends it's own PATH
to the system PATH, so it will find the cygwin compilers first before the
minGW.
2. The error message is quite clear: it can't find hhc.exe. That's the
Compiled HTML help compiler (for CHM help pages). Either install it and put
it in the path, or find the Makefile/MkRules and tell it not to make CHM.
HTH,

There are two, but AFAIK neither of them will work on Windows. My port of the basic S maps package (no projections) has recently been modified to provide a small (700KB) 'base' package with limited maps data (just usa, state, counties, nz and world.thin), plus an add-on package called mapdata (24MB) with the high-resolution maps. [This split has not yet been fully tested, and requires maps to be *installed* before mapdata, and mapdata must be installed in the same library directory as maps.] These are available from ftp://ftp.mcs.vuw.ac.nz/pub/statistics/map/map*_1.1-0* The other solution in development is called Rmap from Barry Rowlingson (http://www.maths.lancs.ac.uk/Software/Rmap/), but as I understand it, this requires quite a lot of third-party stuff to be installed first.

where they should appear, although the summary command
prints ok within R. Also, \multicolumn{} inherits the
position parameter {l} of the remaining of the first
column, rather than for instance {c} if it where on the
second column. The remaining of the latex table is right.
Are there any unix tools or latex styles called by your
programmes, that I should check on my system?
Below is the latex compilation output that appears after
the command latex(a) of your first example.

Re: [R] problem installing packages from source on win2k
On Fri, 13 Jun 2003 21:35:22 -0400, you wrote: 1. I believe the build need to be done from a command prompt (a.k.a. MSDOS), rather than the cygwin bash. The potential problem (at least the one I know about) is that the cygwin bash by default prepends it's own PATH to the system PATH, so it will find the cygwin compilers first before the minGW. You need to adjust the path in either case. I do builds in Cygwin now; the path is set in /etc/profile. Since I don't have the Cygwin compilers installed, finding them first is not an issue.

Re: [R] Problem with Rcmd SHLIB
Hi, Is perl in your Path? i.e. what happens when you type: perl --version On Fri, 13 Jun 2003, Remko Duursma wrote: Date: Fri, 13 Jun 2003 14:54:40 -0700 From: Remko Duursma [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: rhelp [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [R] Problem with Rcmd SHLIB Dear R-helpers, i am trying to make a shared library from a Fortran subroutine, and i therefore used (after reading the documentation): Rcmd SHLIB forfile.f #(R1.70, Win2000) And the error is: 'perl' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.
