icon for an R package

I'm looking for an icon to represent an R package.  Perhaps  
something like

http://cdn2.iconfinder.com/data/icons/DarkGlass_Reworked/128x128/apps/package.png

but with the R logo rather than KDE.

Can't you just get the location of an "R" at CRAN?

http://cran.r-project.org/Rlogo.jpg

Sorry for not being clearer.  What I want is an icon for a *package*, 
such as I gave in the iconfinder link
above, but with the R logo *superposed*. Such 3D icons are common in the 
Mac world, but I couldn't
find anything similar for R, so thought I'd ask before trying my (poor) 
hand with PhotoShop or something
similar.

Michael,
Are you referring to an icon that would be displayed for an R package when browsing in a file manager, such as Nautilus, Konqueror or Finder?

If so, those icons are typically associated with a file using MIME types and are based upon the file type in question having a unique extension and perhaps being associated with a particular application that is installed.

Since R packages are either .zip files or tar archive files (.tar.gz or .tgz), they will use the default theme icons for the OS/File Manager in use for those extensions, possibly for the archiving application associated with those file types.

I don't know of any way off-hand, to differentiate R packages from other files that have the same extensions and therefore have a unique icon displayed in the respective file manager application.

Regards,

Marc Schwartz

Well, my initial query was just for an icon that I could use in a presentation to represent several R packages
and the relations among them.

You raise the more interesting question of OS-specific icons for R-related file types (.R, .Rd, .RData, .Rnw),
but the only ones I know of are the .RData icon under Windows, and icons used in eclipse/StatET.

I see, so a network tree of sorts....

David's image file did not come thru the list, so I am not sure if  
that or something similar meets your needs.

Simon has some image icons that he uses in R.app for the OSX GUI.  
These are available from:

 https://svn.r-project.org/R-packages/trunk/Mac-GUI/images/

Presumably if a motivated person were to create and offer some under  
an appropriate and compatible license, they could be made generally  
available. Of course the actual utilization of them by the various  
file managers across the OS's in the manner I describe would require  
additional steps. Either via an install program that would automate  
the registration of the file types and icons, or via manual  
configuration.

Marc

I am trying to write a function that will access a column of a data  
frame without having to qualify the name of the data frame column as  
long as the name of the dataframe is passed to the function. As can  
be seen from the code below, my function is not working:

df <- data.frame(x=1:10,y=11:20)
df

test <- function(column,data) {
 print(data$column)
}

test(x,df)

I am trying to model my function after the way that lm works where  
one needs not qualify column names, i.e.

Hi Michael,

I've attached my attempt at an R-package logo.

Best,

Here is an alternaive

approach that is closer to that used by lm and friends.

df <- data.frame(x=1:10,y=11:20)
test <- function(col, dat) eval(substitute(col), envir = dat)
test(x, df)

[1]  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10

test(y, df)

[1] 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

There is a slight added bonus this way

test(x+y+1, df)

[1] 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 31

(Well, I did say 'slight'.)

Bill Venables.

test <- function(f, dat) eval(f[[2]], envir = dat, enclos=environment(f))
df <- data.frame(x=1:10,y=11:20)
test(~x,df)

test(~x+y,df)
