R Project Updates
Updates from R Core:
-
download.file()
on Windows now by default also uses binary transfer (mode = "wb"
) for file extension.rds
and in the case the file extension dot (.
) needsURLdecode()
ing. The help page?download.file
now contains the same information platform independently. -
Allow
file
argument ofRscript
to include space even when it is first on the command line. -
callNextMethod()
uses the generic from the environment of the calling method. Reported by Hervé Pagès with well documented examples. -
simulate.lm(glm(*, gaussian(link = <non-default>)))
has been corrected, fixing PR#17415 thanks to Alex Courtiol. -
untar(file("<some>.tar.gz"), *)
now gives a better error message, suggesting to usegzfile()
instead.

The latest #ggplot2 has a `clip = "off"` option to allow drawing outside of the plot panel. This allows for all sorts of neat plotting tricks. E.g., direct labeling. ("Toyota Corolla" extends beyond the plot area.) #rstats #dataviz pic.twitter.com/kiqfj2M1iP

Quicker than quick... Copy data in excel and straight into an R dataframe! I won't need this data ever again, so why bother saving and loading a file? #rstats #LearningNewTricks pic.twitter.com/ayeJqR3Hia
