[R] understanding the no-label concept
I am new to R but a bit familiar with Stata and SPSS and a software dev. As I understand it right, there is no possibility to give variables or values a lable. Is that right? Just for example. "x" need a name. And the four values (1, 2, 3, 4) need it to. [code] > table(x) 1 2 3 4 17 6 6 2 [/code] I understand that R itself is powerful and well developed. So I try to understand why it doesn't support labels. And in the next step I try to understand how do you work with your data and publish (e.g. with *TeX) it without using labels? R can put out *TeX-code, right? I don't want to modify the outputted code manually. It would waste my time and decreases my efficiency. __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

Looks nice. It works! Thanks.
Now I will refere (going back) to the doc to try to understand the
concept behind it.
Reading the introduction before that had no effect on my
understanding. ;)

You see? It didn't work.

Eins Zwei Drei Vier Fünf

This is no solution for my case.
But...
> bb <- matrix(1:12, 3, 4, dimnames=list(letters[1:3], LETTERS[1:4]))
Nice. But look dam complex for a simple task. I see I have to change a
lot of the concepts in my mind and my workflows.

[R] [Sweave] doesn't accept unicode?
Of course I manage and write my tex-files in unicode (utf-8) (running
XeTeX). That is why my R-output need to be in unicode, too.
But Sweave doesn't accept unicode files.
[R]
Sweave("analy.Snw")
Fehler: ‘analy.Snw’ is not ASCII and does not declare an encoding
[/R]
[analy.Snw]
<<>>=
x <- ü
table(x)
@
[/analy.Snw]
How should I "declare an encoding". I can not find an option for the
<<>>.
I don't have to declare any of my tex-files explicite because XeTeX use
the files like they come. It knows for itself the encoding.

Re: [R] [Sweave] doesn't accept unicode?
Maybe your answers are solutions, but not in my case.
As I indicated with my code-sample I don't have a complete tex-file
(with usepackage, document-env, etc). I only generate a piece of a tex
file to \input it later in my puplication tex-file.
So there is no way to specifiy an encoding with a \usepackage. Btw:
XeTeX don't need any specification for the encoding. Loading xunicode
explicite is not needed.
The answer for Sweave is simple and in the help-page (I should have read
more carefully before - but it was 3 oclock in the morning).
Sweave("analy.Snw", encoding="bytes")
Now Sweave don't care about the encoding.
