The boxplot.default() function ignores argument 'boxfill' passed by user: x <- rnorm(100) boxplot(x, boxfill="blue") boxplot(x, pars=list(boxfill="green")) As the original creator of the 'boxfill' argument, I'd like to propose the following change to...

Dear r-bugs, It seems like the windows graphics device is having problems recording plots when they are 5, 9, 13, ... in number. Given temp <- function(nplt) { if(exists(".SavedPlots")) rm(.SavedPlots,pos=1) for(d in dev.list()) dev...

I'd like to suggest changes to three help pages, regarding the use of pch=NA to suppress plotting symbols. See below. Arni R 2.0.1 on WinXP === help(bxp) === The argument outpch=" " needs to be replaced with outpch...

Platform: i386-pc-mingw32 (Windows XP) Program: R (1.6.1, 1 Nov 2002) Package: nls (1.6.1, 8 Nov 2002) Dear R Core Team, I believe there is a bug in logLik.nls because it counts model degrees...

It has been brought to my attention that the 1997 benchmark was updated in 2006, using R instead of S-Plus. and a newer computer, obviously. The result was that ADMB converged more than 1000 times faster than R. The...

The 2.0.1 patch works beautifully. I should have checked that before asking. Thanks, Arni On Tue, 28 Dec 2004, Roger Bivand wrote: > Please see > https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2004-November/060119.html for the > explanation...

Thanks for those pointers, Nicholas. There is no doubt that Ross Ihaka is the right person to take R colors into the right direction. I have to admit I was only aware of the base color support in R, and...

Dear r-bugs, When I create EPS files, they sometimes appear rotated in my LaTeX PDF document and sometimes they don't. Two examples: ## x1.eps is not rotated in LaTeX x <- seq(-1, 1, length=100) postscript("c:/x1...

This relates to a message from Christophe Pallier to r-help some time ago. Like myself, he finds aggregate very useful, but the interface a little cumbersome. I've implemented a more compact formula interface, found at the bottom of...

The model frame shows the response and predictors in a data frame with nicely labelled columns: fm <- lm(wt~qsec+log(hp)+sqrt(disp), data=mtcars) model.frame(fm) # ok When the left hand side consists of more than one...

I'm relaying a question from my institute's sysadmin: Would it be possible to modify update.packages() and related functions so that 'lib.loc' accepts integer values to specify a library from the .libPaths() vector? Many Linux users want...

Dear R community, Just a quick note about a new package on CRAN called makeit. Yesterday, I added a vignette and released as 1.0.1: https://cran.r-project.org/package=makeit https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages...

One descriptive statistic that is conspicuously missing from core R is the statistical mode - the most frequent value in a discrete distribution. I would like to propose adding the attached 'statmode' (or a similar function) to the 'stats' package. Currently...

Dear r-devel, Among the R functions I have written and later shared with colleagues, there are five that I hope will become a part of the R base package. The tasks are neither specific nor marginal, so rather than...

Hi all, I would like to propose the attached function ASCIIfy() to be added to the 'tools' package. Non-ASCII characters in character vectors can be problematic for R packages, but sometimes they cannot be avoided. To make packages portable...

I would like to propose adding a new plot function to the 'graphics' package. The new function is called areaplot() and I have implemented it as a generic function that supports a variety of data classes. An area plot consists...

Thank you, Kevin, for the feedback. > 1. The mode is not so interesting for continuous data. I would much > rather use something like density(). Absolutely. The help page for statmode() says it is for discrete data, and points to density...
