[Rd] Unable to collate and parse R files with R CMD check

2011-12-07 Thread Sumukh Sathnur
Hi all, I'm trying to build a package on Windows 7 (64 bit) and although R cmd build worked fine and I got pkg.tar.gz with no errors, but when I tried doing R CMD check everything turns out ok except for the warning: checking whether package 'pkg' can be installed ... ERROR. Installation failed.

[Rd] Graphics device hook to manipulate plotmath

2011-12-07 Thread Zack Weinberg
Is there a hook that allows a graphics device to apply transformations to plotmath expressions *before* they are rendered? If there isn't one yet, would it be feasible to add one? The motivation for this hook is graphic devices that feed into something that already has support for math layout,

@Barry : regardless of whether '_' comes before or after '1' , it should be consistent. Adding an 'a' shouldn't shift '_' from before '1' to between '1' and '2', that's clearly an error. The help files are not stating anything about that. The only thing I can imagine, is that '_' gets ignored (in

I'm not an expert on Locales but those that are getting this behavior and those that aren't appear to be different. (in fact, all three sets are slightly different). Isn't sorting order based on Locale rather than any internal R code anyway? ~G On Wed, Dec 7, 2011 at 7:06 AM, Rainer M Krug

[Rd] Possible bug in 'new()' for Reference Classes

2011-12-07 Thread Janko Thyson
Dear list, I think I stumbled across a little bug with respect to the standard initialization routine for Reference Classes. It seems that a field 'self' is treated as if it's name would be '.self' (which we know is reserved for the self reference of the instantiated object itself) and thus

Right, thanks for the catch. Actually, field names s, se, sel would also produce the bug. Partial matching of argument names bites again. This should be fixed in r-devel and 2.14 patched, as of SVN rev. 57842. Do try to follow the API in the documentation and use generator objects for
