Hi Barry, thanks for your preciouse help! Please apologize my newbie questions.
i'm able to go ahead tring to port the R code to run under python, now i'm blocked on the "plot" function. maybe i'm doing the same error but i haven't yet find a way to debug my code line. this what i tried : # import library (rpy2 + spgrass6) import rpy2.rinterface as rinterface import rpy2.robjects as robjects robjects.r.require('spgrass6', quietly = True)[0] # def some functions : rsort = robjects.r['sort'] rseq = robjects.r['seq'] rlength = robjects.r['length'] rdiv = robjects.r['/'] rmin = robjects.r['min'] rmax = robjects.r['max'] rdiff = robjects.r['-'] rget = robjects.r['get'] rslot = robjects.r['slot'] rpng = robjects.r['png'] rplot = robjects.r['plot'] df = robjects.r['data.frame'] # input data and output image inputmap = 'elevation.dem' output_image = '/Users/sasha/Desktop/file.png' # code mymap = robjects.r.readRAST6(inputmap) elev = rget("$")(rslot(mymap,"data"),"elevation.dem") r_sorted = rsort(elev, decreasing=True) p_seq = rseq(1,rlength(r_sorted)) x = rdiv(p_seq,rlength(r_sorted)) x = rdiv( ( rdiff( x, rmin(x) ) ) , ( rdiff( rmax(x) , rmin(x) ) ) ) y = rdiv( ( rdiff( r_sorted, rmin(r_sorted) ) ) , ( rdiff( rmax(r_sorted) , rmin(r_sorted) ) ) ) rpng(output_image) result = df(x,y) rplot(result,type = 'l',x) ------------------------------------------------------------ File "<ipython console>", line 1 SyntaxError: non-keyword arg after keyword arg (<ipython console>, line 1) my "rplot" actions seems to be wrong :-( while if i try : args = [x, y] kwargs = {'ylab':"foo/bar", 'type':"b", 'col':"blue", 'log':"x"} robjects.r.plot(*args, **kwargs) i have a png file, but to "see the file" on my desktop i had to type "twice" the command : robjects.r.plot(*args, **kwargs) thanks!!!
