[Rd] R_PAPERSIZE and LC_PAPER

2006-04-20 Thread Prof Brian Ripley
R uses the environment variable R_PAPERSIZE to set its papersize, e.g. for postscript. It seems the modern way is to via LC_PAPER, e.g. http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/2002-05/msg00010.html and Googling will show that people expect this to work. However, that is not set on my FC3 system, a

Marc, Thanks for the comments. The 2.3.x series is in feature freeze, and although a few features do break though for patch releases, they had better be `badly needed' see http://developer.r-project.org/devel-guidelines.txt). So I was thinking of 2.4.0. My suggestion was going to be along th

Hi all, I had mentioned this as a PS in a recent prior post on r-help on the use of assign(), but presumably it got buried in the noise. There is a typo in the R-patched and R-devel versions of assign.Rd in the first example comments. It is presently: #-- Create objects 'r1', 'r2', ... 'r6' --
