Re: [Rd] Attributes of 1st argument in ...

2010-07-05 Thread Daniel Murphy
I stand corrected. It is possible for the S4 cbind to know the symbol of unnamed arguments, by "cheating": colnames(base::cbind(...,deparse.level = deparse.level)) -- which tells me that there ought to be a non-cheating way. I note that the Rmpfr class union, Mnumber, means that the simple cbind(1

2010-07-05 Thread Daniel Murphy
I truly am grateful for all the help. I never would have thought defining a class union for objects that can be combined with cbind, as you do in Rmpfr. That does the trick. Is it true that the only difference in behavior between the S4 cbind and base::cbind is that, unlike base::cbind, the S4 cb

2010-07-05 Thread Dominick Samperi
To be more precise, while the build process worked, the check did not. When it got to the point "* checking for portable compilation flags in Makevars ..." a number of shells popped up (to run c:\Rtools\sh.exe) and the process died. This happens with Rcpp and cxxPack on an AMD machine running Windo

[Rd] Windows 64bit package build requires underscore hack?

2010-07-05 Thread Dominick Samperi
Hello, After much tinkering I managed to build packages using the 64bit version of R with the help of hints from http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/ and http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/~ripley/Win64/W64porting.html and R-admin Manual. But a hack was required, and this seems to be related to a com

...and, of course, just after sending it off I found out that from R v2.11.0 there is now an arrayInd() in the 'base' package doing exactly the same thing. See help(arrayInd). /Henrik On Mon, Jul 5, 2010 at 10:49 PM, hb wrote: > For what it's worth, see arrayIndex() in R.utils, e.g. > > # Singl

For what it's worth, see arrayIndex() in R.utils, e.g. # Single index print(arrayIndex(21, dim=c(4,3,3))) # Multiple indices print(arrayIndex(20:23, dim=c(4,3,3))) # Whole array x <- array(1:30, dim=c(5,6)) print(arrayIndex(1:length(x), dim=dim(x))) # Find (row,column) of maximum value m <- dia
