[R] tapply and error bars: Problem Fixed

2018-06-24 Thread Ogbos Okike
HI Jim, This is great!! It is also tricky!!! The problem lies in the choice of ylim. And looking at the data and choosing ylim based on the maximum and minimum values of y is a waste of time. And choosing it by other means was yet much more difficult. I had to start plotting part of the data

Thanks Glenn. I also favour restricting to sRGB<->HSV/HLS top remove ambiguity (so there is no direct conversion RGB<->HSV/HLS). This would also be consistent with grDevices::rgb2hsv(). Paul On 23/06/18 13:43, Glenn Davis wrote: Achim and Paul, This is an entirely different subject -

Hullo Jim, That's wonderful: thank you so much! That makes things even easier. There are also no problems regarding getting rid of the function as each set of computations occurs in a new Rstudio process: it's not optimal, but given the problem it was the best solution. My code will just stick

Hi Simon, Easy to do if you call "print" directly: print<-function(x) cat(deparse(substitute(x)),"=\n",x,"\n") y<-3 print(y) y = 3 Obviously you will want to get rid of your print function when it is not being used with "rm" or by starting a new session. Getting it to bypass the default print
