Re: [Rd] sweep sanity checking?

Thanks to Martin Maechler for his comments, advice and for pointing out the speed problem. Thanks also to Ben Bolker for tests of speed, which confirm that for small arrays, a slow down by a factor of about 1.2 - 1.5 may occur. Now, I would like to present a new version of sweep, which is simpler

[Rd] Use of __FUNCTION__ and__PRETTY_FUNCTION__ is not portable

2007-08-08 Thread Prof Brian Ripley
These are C/C++ extensions found in several packages[1]. They are non-standard: the C99 standard has __func__ which should be used in C in place of either. If you really want back compatibilty, try something like #if __STDC_VERSION__ 199901L # if __GNUC__ = 2 # define __func__ __FUNCTION__

[Rd] SWF animation method

Hi all, Just thought I'd share something I discovered last night. I was interested in creating animations consisting of a series of plots and after finding very little in the usual sources regarding animation in R directly, and disliking the imagemagick method described here

Hello Mike, You might want to give mencoder a try. It usually comes with mplayer. I did play with it a while ago and was fairly happy with the results. Basically, the idea was to create many jpg files somewhere, which is not too hard using the %03d substitution described in ?jpeg. The rest is

Thanks to Max Romain for noting alternative methods. As mentioned in my original post, I've tried the png-imagemagick- gif solution and was displeased with quality of the results (using default quality values at least). Additionally, I disliked the idea (shared with the menconder method)

Thank you very much for your input. In the meantime I was -- thanks to the pointer to the Rserve Makefile by Professor Ripley -- able to have a Makefile that built the package correctly: SFILE = ../inst/OpenBUGS/linbugs.c XFILE = ../inst/OpenBUGS/linbugs SOFILE = ../src/linbugs.so all: $(XFILE)
