[Rd] question concerning par("plt") and par("mar")
Hello,
I have a function that changes par("plt") to plot a colorkey, and upon
returning resets the original value.
Unfortunately this changes the size of the plots when I change the layout. A
simplified example:
par(mfrow = c(1, 1))
plt <- par("plt")
# # change par(plt) and create colorkey
par(plt = plt)# resets the default
plot(0) # OK
par(mfrow = c(2,2)) # change layout
plot(0) # figure too large; par("plt") is same as in
mfrow = c(1,1))
I have now solved that by writing, after par(plt = plt) the following
par(mar = par("mar"))
as far as I can see, this only sets (in R-source-code par.c) the variable
defaultPlot equal to TRUE.
This seems to work, as now par("plt") is calculated when changing the layout.
I wonder if this is a good way to do this - does it have other side-effects?
Thanks,
Karline Soetaert

[Rd] Build from Source fails on Loading required package Matrix
Hello: I am building R 2.15.1 from source on a Windows 7 machine with the x64 toolset, MixTeX, and InnoSetup per http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/. I obtained the source for 2.15.1 via svn from https://svn.r-project.org/R/branches/R-2-15-branch/. This is my first try building R from source. The build seems to go far, then terminates with "undefined exports: .M.classEnv" from the Matrix package, I believe. Here are the last few lines of the build session Creating a generic function for 'qr.resid' from package 'base' in package 'Matrix' Creating a generic function for 'qr.fitted' from package 'base' in package 'Matrix' ** help *** installing help indices ** building package indices Loading required package: Matrix Error in namespaceExport(ns, exports) : undefined exports: .M.classEnv Error : require(Matrix) is not TRUE ERROR: installing package indices failed * removing 'C:/Users/Dan/Documents/R-2.15.1/library/Matrix' make[1]: *** [Matrix.ts] Error 1 make: *** [recommended] Error 2 Perhaps there are special settings I should be making in MkRules.local?

Yes, I did "make rsync-recommended" per Chapter 3 of the manual and that worked without error. I first inadvertently had tried to build the 2.16 version in /trunk and got that "undefined exports" error, then switched to the /R-2-15-branch when I realized /trunk held the development version. In between the two svn checkouts, I had tried the source tar ball at the link R-2.15.1.tar.gz. That terminated much sooner in the build, which I thought could have resulted from me using 7-Zip on the tar ball (lacking a windows version of your tar), so I went back to the subversion checkout method. > > > > This is my first try building R from source.

Aiming for the fortune file again, Barry?
Anyways, since it is not portable anyway, what was ever wrong with
system(sprintf("chown %s %s", foo, bar)
?

Re: [Rd] warning in lattice key function
This is not the address for the maintainer of package 'lattice': what
did he say when you asked him (see the posting guide)?
(Because I reported it some weeks back, I know he agrees it is a bug in
lattice and will be fixed in the next release.)
