Hi. There's a minor typo in bxp.Rd: whiskco:l should be whiskcol: Cheers, Arni R 2.1.1pat on WinXP

There's a harmless typo in screen.Rd where "coner" should be "corner". Nitpicking to the extreme, "ie." should be "i.e." in plotformula.Rd and screen.Rd. Arni

There are a couple of harmless typos in the documentation for the stats::SSD function, where "varianve" should be "variance" "followint" should be "following" Arni R 2.1.1pat 2005-07-04 on WinXP

Dear r-bugs, The boxplot documentation states that "if outline is not true, the boxplot lines are not drawn" but it turns out that the outliers are not drawn. Regards, Arni R 1.9.0 on WinXP

Thanks Duncan, for considering ASCIIfy. I understand your reasoning. This is a recurring pattern - I propose functions for core R, and Greg catches them from freefall :) I'm delighted with ASCIIfy being hosted in gtools. The R and Rd should...

Dear r-bugs, The 'see also' link in help(area,html=T) is broken, see line 91 in library/MASS/html/area.html: "../../integrate/html/integrate.html" should be "../../base/html/integrate.html" Regards, Arni OS: Windows XP R: 1...

I believe there's a typo in the R Language Definition 1.9.0 (2004-04-12) draft. Around the middle of subsection 5.1 it says: ... a final search for foo.default would be made This should probably be...

The file_path_sans_ext() function in the 'tools' package does not handle alphanumeric file extensions correctly: require(tools) file_path_sans_ext("song.txt") # song, correct file_path_sans_ext("song.mp3") # song.mp3, wrong The help page states...

In Windows XP, the matrix() function crashes the program when 'dimnames' is an empty list: matrix(1:4, nrow=2, dimnames=list()) # R has encountered a problem and needs to close ... This bug is specific to WinXP, as Linux64 handles...

The write.csv() function is currently implemented as function (..., col.names=NA, sep=",", qmethod="double") { write.table(..., col.names=NA, sep=",", qmethod="double") } Surely, it should be function (..., col.names=NA, sep=",", qmethod="double") { write.table(..., col.names=col.names...

Unlike R 2.1.1, version 2.2.0 generates warnings when an 'oma' argument as passed to pairs(): A <- rnorm(100) B <- rnorm(100) pairs(cbind(A,B)) # no warning pairs(cbind(A,B), oma=c(6,8,10...

Dear r-bugs, I'd like to be able to draw boxplots with solid or dotted whisker lines. The lty argument is currently ignored by boxplot(), and indeed hardwired in bxp(). It's not very difficult to customize these functions...

If read.table() is defaulting to "character" instead of "factor" data type, shouldn't type.convert() also default to "character" in R 4.0.0? This would seem like a good time to change the default to type.convert(as...

I'd like to iterate my earlier request (#7737) to change the documentation for bxp(). The argument outpch=" " needs to be replaced with outpch=NA in two places. I actually wrote this part of the documentation myself at one point...

The weighted.mean() function replaces NA values with 0.0 when the user specifies na.rm=TRUE: x <- c(101, 102, NA) mean(x, na.rm=TRUE) # 101.5, correct weighted.mean(x, na.rm=TRUE) # 67.66667, wrong weighted...

Dear r-bugs, I'm having problems loading the 'grid' package when it has been detached earlier in the same session: > library(grid) > detach("package:grid") > library(grid) Error in .Call("L_initGrid", PACKAGE = "grid") : .Call function name not in...

The audit trail indicates that PR#3663 is not reproducible and/or fixed, but I believe windows(record=T) is still not working as documented: windows(record=T) for(i in 1:5) plot(0, 0, cex=4, pch=as...

It would be easy to add 'yaxs' support to bxp(), which can aid visual comparison when the lower limit is zero. The two lines from boxplot.R that would change are: plot.window(ylim=c(0.5,n+0.5...

Thanks Roger, for pointing out the pretty() function. It's not cross-referenced much in the documentation... Your example is not a trellis one, but following the same approach: xyplot(-y~x, scales=list(y=list(at=pretty(-y), labels...

Creating a plot with reverse Y axis is easy enough with traditional graphics: > x <- 1:3 > y <- 1:3 > plot(y~x, ylim=c(3,1)) +-----------+ 1 | o | | | 2 | o | | | 3 | o | +-----------+ 1 2 3 But xyplot doesn't grasp...
