[R] A polar.plot BUG in plotrix 1.3.3 ?
Hi,
I just updated to R-2.1.1 and updated packages acordingly
However, after the update, routines that use polar.plot
did not function as correctly.
In plotrix 1.3.3 the polar.plot function does scale label.pos
to radians prior to calling radial.plot
Hence, the command
polar.plot(c(5,10,5,0),c(-10,0,10,20),rp.type='P',
labels=c(A,N,V,S),label.pos=c(0,90,180,270))
produces absurd compass lines but the correct results are obtained if
label.pos is scaled with pi/180 :
polar.plot(c(5,10,5,0),c(-10,0,10,20),rp.type='P',
labels=c(A,N,V,S),label.pos=c(0,90,180,270)*pi/180)
I have attatched the polar.plot function from the two different versions
of the package.
It seems that if not missing then label.pos is not changed at all in
version 1.3.3
So, a feature or a bug?
Sincerely,
--

[R] Windows plots fontsize
I recently wrote a package that runs on both Linux and Windows. The functions fetch data to an SQL database and make diverse plots, usually with many labels and annotations. I recently noticed that on SOME windows computers the fonts in the plots were too large, which caused labels to overlap. On other windows computers this does not happen. However on both computers the command par(ps) gives 12 Now, windows is not my forte, but it seems likely that this has to do with some user/system settings. If so, my users would probably object to me tweaking their windows setup since it might have an effect on other programs. One simple solution is to use par(ps=10), but I cannot find out how to set this globally. a) Does anyone know how I can set par(ps=10) by default on all figure? b) Is there a windows specific way to set default fontsizes in figures?

[R] make R package for windows on Linux
Hi, I made a package on a linux box. All worked fine. The package contains only R code (no C). I then wanted to make a zip file so that I could test the package on a windows machine. I have tried all the obvious ways to do this (and even some that are not!), but to no avail. The only instructions I find about building packages for windows (e.g. mypkg.zip) seem to imply that the build be done on a windows machine. Is there a simple way to make mypkg.zip under linux and then install it as a zip file on a windows machine?

[R] plot with dates
Hi, I am trying to understand the behaviour of the plot function. If I have novdate - as.Date(2001/11/1) + (0:29) y - 1:30 b - data.frame(novdate,y) then plot(b$novdate,b$y) will produce a plot where the x-ticmarks are given as dates (Nov 04, Nov 09 etc), but plot(b) will produce a plot where the x-tickmars are integer values (#day since Jan 1st 1970) In the first case plot is getting a an x-vector of class Date, and y-vector of class integer. In the second case plot gets an object of class data.frame (but with components of class Date and integer). I am new to R so I may be wrong about this, but it seems to me that different plotting methods are invoked. methods(plot) yields a list of plot methods, but I cannot access most of them. Is there a way to guide plot(b) to using the method used by plot(b$novdate,b$y), - or is that a bad idea?...

[R] printing ISO/8859-1 characters
Hi, I ran into an odd problem with the print command for R-2.0 on a windows machine. The icelandic character thorn (þ,Þ) which is included in in the Latin-1 character set [iso/8859-1 char# 222 (upper case) and #254 (lower case)] prints out incorrectly. Instead of getting the correct character I get the octal codes for upper and lower case thorn (\336 or \376). This only happens on a windows machine, but not on a linux box. This is not some problem generic to the Latin-1 characters. I get all accented characters correctly and also the character eth (ðÐ). Its only thorn thats problematic... This problem also shows up on the commandline a -Þ works ok, but print(a) or just: a returns the octal number. However, when using THORN in plotlabels it works fine. If anyone knows how to fix this I would be very happy to hear from them... Thanks Halldor -- -- Halldor Bjornsson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Vedurstofa Islands (Icelandic Met.
