Dear all, Thank you very much for all your valuable suggestions! Best wishes, Alexey Shipunov

Dear R users, Is there the possibitily in R under X11 to get (after typing help(...) command) separate help window, as it is in Windows version? Best wishes, ================================= Dr. Alexey B. Shipunov Section of Molecular Systematics Jodrell Laboratory Royal Botanic...

Dear R experts, I have a matrix (from some sort of classification) like this: object group [1,] 1 1 [2,] 2 2 [3,] 3 1 [4,] 4 1 [5,] 5 3 And I need something like this: [,1] [,2] [,3...

Dear list, I just made a very simple mistake, but it was hard to spot. And I think that I should warn other people, because it is probably so simple to make... === R code === # Let us create a matrix: (a...

Dear list, I have been advised to share these with R-help instead of filling the bug report: 1) dotchart() does not allow to see the left axis title ('ylab') and cannot change the left margin (outer margin 2) of...

Dear colleagues, There is a new problem with dotchart(), and it is very simple to reproduce. Just run example(dotchart). On R versions < 4, group labels ("Urban Female" and so on) were visible. Now they are not visible. If in...

Martin, Yes, I should have test it earlier. Thank you for the response! With best wishes, Alexey ??, 2 ???. 2020 ?. ? 22:30, Martin Maechler <maechler at stat.math.ethz.ch>: > > >>>>> Alexey Shipunov > >>>>> on Wed, 1 Jul 2020 23:58:04 +0900...

Dear Martin, Great news, thanks! If you wish, please also consider my initial note about help(hist), this is definitely worrying new R users. With best wishes, Alexey ??, 13 ???. 2020 ?. ? 02:16, Martin Maechler <maechler at stat.math.ethz.ch...

My suggestion (shipunov::Dotchart1()) was: === yinch <- if (!is.null(ylab)) 0.4 else 0 # inserted! if (!(is.null(labels) && is.null(glabels))) { nmai <- par("mai") nmai.2.new <- nmai[4L] + max(yinch + linch + goffset, ginch) + 0.1 # changed! if (nmai...

P.S. I like also to defend my initial approach. Many help files said that: ?pie: "Pie charts are a very bad way of displaying information. ... A bar chart or dot chart is a preferable way of displaying this type...

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I tend to agree. However, this behavior is relatively easy to remediate: This is the piece of the current code: === if (!(is.null(labels) && is.null(glabels))) { nmai <- par("mai") nmai[2L] <- nmai[4L...

I need to clarify. This part of example(dotchart) does not show group labels in my case: === dotchart(VADeaths, main = "Death Rates in Virginia - 1940") === My session is === > sessionInfo() R version 4.0.2 (2020-06-22) Platform: x86_64...

John and Rui, thanks! However, if we use the proper object, the problem still persists: dotchart(c("3"=1, "2"=2, "1"=3), ylab="Ylab") # ylab is invisible dotchart(c("aa"=1, "b"=2, "cc"=3), ylab="Ylab") # ylab is...
