Re: [Rd] [R] string problems with "\\" (Windows)
Moved to r-devel.
Perhaps basename should take an optional separator argument
so that
basename(x, "\\")
could be used to override the default behavior.

[Rd] vignette("introduction") causes "Error in sprintf(" (PR#9069)
Full_Name: Chris Evans
Version: 2.3.1
OS: Windoze XP
Submission from: (NULL) (217.34.100.197)
If I give "vignette("introduction")" I get:
Error in sprintf(gettext(fmt, domain = domain), ...) :
use format %s for character objects
vignette() works for some other vignettes and "vignette()" gets me a list of
vignettes and shows three with the name "introduction" (on my package
collection). I don't know if that's related to this.
Happy to try anything you want done (except perhaps trying to install the
bleeding edge version of R!)

Re: [Rd] vignette("introduction") causes "Error in sprintf(" (PR#9069)
Same for me. Looking through the output of vignette
I noticed that both the ggplot and reshape packages have
a vignette called "introduction" in my case and either of
the following brings up the associated vignette (as opposed
to the error message):
vignette("introduction", "ggplot")
vignette("introduction", "reshape")

Aha, works for me too. Sorry, I probably should have been able to work
that out myself.
So: not so much a bug, more a wish as it might be good if the vignette
code checked for multiple vignettes with the same name and returned a
choice or a message warning you that there are multiples. Should I do a
follow-up to that bug?
Many thanks to you and all for R: incredible resource.

Re: [Rd] vignette("introduction") causes "Error in sprintf(" (PR#9069)
If there are no other instances of multiple vignettes with the same
name perhaps the fastest solution is just for the author of those
two vignettes to change them to each be unique.

[Rd] Unexpected difference in Bounding Box of PDF graphics between 2.3.1p and 2.4 (PR#9070)
Full_Name: Wolfgang Huber
Version: R version 2.4.0 Under development (unstable) (2006-07-09 r38523)
OS: i686-pc-linux-gnu
Submission from: (NULL) (62.253.128.15)
There appears to be unintentional behaviour in the size of the bounding box for
PDF graphics produced with the current R2.4, compared to 2.3.1. I posted two PDF
files, both produced with the same R script below, but different versions of R:
http://www.ebi.ac.uk/~huber/pub
The code is here:
pdf(file=sprintf("test-%s.pdf", version$"svn rev"), width=4, height=4)
par(mai=par("mai")[rep(1:2,2)])
x = seq(0, 10*pi, length=3000)
plot(x*cbind(sin(x),cos(x)), type="l", col="mistyrose", lwd=3)
sink(textConnection("s", "w"))
options(width=40)
print(sessionInfo(), width=30)
sink()
text(-30, 30-4*seq(along=s), s, adj=c(0,0.5), cex=0.7)
dev.off()
and one of the differences between the resulting PDF files is:
test-38323.pdf: /MediaBox [0 0 288 288]
test-38523.pdf: /MediaBox [0 0 595 841]
The former corresponds to 4x4 inches, the latter to 21cm x 29.67cm.

That seems like a reasonable idea, but not very high priority. Anyone
want to contribute a patch (to the source and man page)?
