I think it's pretty standard to measure text this way.  You can get a 
very good approximation to arbitrary rotation by treating the text as a 
width by height rectangle, and using a bit of trig to calculation the 
rotated dimensions of that - but it's much harder to get the original 
dimensions back after doing this.

So I'd suggest that you should write a little function to calculate 
rotated dimensions, document it, and offer it to one of the Misc 
collections.

If you want to waste a lot of time on it you could try to do it in a way 
that can tell the difference between "Ay" and "yA" after a 45 degree 
rotation (the first is wider), but I think it will be hard to get that 
right.

[Rd] Slovenian translation strings for R "installation programs"

[Gorjanc Gregor]

Hello!

These would be Slovenian translations. I hope that all characters
will be displayed OK; note that there are three letters with carons
(actually only two are used in these translations): 
 - c with carron as "č"
 - s with carron as "š"
 - z with carron as "ž"
For more look at .

Re: [Rd] single assignment affecting multiple sub-structures (PR#7924)

[Tony Plate]

Yes, actually, I have had code using do.call() that returns the result I 
want working for years.  However, I've been trying to reduce the memory 
usage of my code, and I discovered that in S-PLUS, do.call() appears to 
make a extra copy of its arguments.  When the arguments are very large, 
this can be important.  I found that by constructing a call like the one 
below, and eval()ing it, S-PLUS would not make unnecessary copies of the 
arguments.

However, when I tried the same code in R, I found the bug that I 
described below.

[Rd] italic (PR#7932)

[ggrothendieck]

Full_Name: G. Grothendieck
Version: R version 2.1.0, 2005-05-14
OS: Windows XP
Submission from: (NULL) (216.59.254.207)


This code:

> plot(1:10)
> text(5,5,lab=expression(italic(22*"33")))

has the effect of italicizing 33 (which is a character string) but not 22
(which is not).  I would have thought that both, not just 33, would be
italicized.

I had previously posted about this last week:

https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2005-June/033526.html

however, no one responded.

A color of length > 1 does not make sense here, from my point of view. 
Hence I'd like to object here.
It might make sense for argument "col.axis", but this is very hard to 
implement due to the internal structure of automatical tick mark 
calculations.

Most easily you can use mtext() to annotate an un-annotated axis with 
different colors as in:

  plot(1:10, xaxt="n")
  axis(1, at=c(2,5,8), labels=rep("", 3))
  mtext(c(2,5,8), side=1, at=c(2,5,8),
col=c("red", "green", "blue"), line=0.5)

[Rd] Using Rserve

[D0c]

Hey is there a more consistent way of  connecting to Rserve. I have
code that opens a connection to Rserve by executing explicitly using
Java runtime ( "C:\Program Files\R\r20XXX\Rserve.exe" ).
However when i run the app and attempt to connect, it does not connect
imediately.I have to close the app and open it again for a few times
before i get a connection.
Am i doing something wrong?

Re: [Rd] FW: Slovenian translation strings for R "installation programs"

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Thanks for the translations.

I am having some trouble with charsets (the installer has to be built
from files containing about 6 different ones).  The version now in is your 
first one.  I will try to update it by Monday, but I need to reboot my 
Windows machine every time I change languages so this gets very tedious.

I believe that each user you have set up on Windows XP
can have a different language so just set up multiple users, one per
language and you won't have to reboot.
