) 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"), *)

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
