[R] R2.11.0 - rasterImage() and barplot fill-patterns
baptiste auguie

Thu Apr 22 16:10:26 CEST 2010
Hi,
This idea was also discussed when Paul Murrell first announced the
grid.raster function to R-devel,
http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e8/devel/09/12/0912.html
My personal conclusion was that vector fill patterns are generally
better in terms of resolution and speed. Of course the situation might
be different if one wanted to use a fancy image pattern, or if there
was a fast implementation of tiling patterns at the C level.
I wrote a proof-of-concept here --- my main issue is that the
resulting grob is not vectorized,

Best,
baptiste

>>
>> o readline() in non-interactive use returns "" and does not

>>
>> o New function file_ext() in package 'tools'.
>>
>> o xtfrm() is now primitive and internally generic, as this allows

>>
>> There is now a "difftime" method.
>>

>>
>> o quantile() now has a method for the date-time class "POSIXt",

>> ordered factors.
>>
>> o length(<POSIXlt>) now returns the length of the corresponding
>> abstract timedate-vector rather than always 9 (the length of the

>>
>> o The readline completion backend no longer sorts possible
>> completions alphabetically (e.g., function argument names) if

>>
>> o select.list() gains a 'graphics' argument to allow Windows/Mac

>>
>> o New function chooseBioCmirror() to set the "BioC_mirror" option.
>>
>> o The R grammar prevents using the argument 'name' in signatures
>> of S4 methods for '$' and '$<-', since they will always be
>> called with a character string value for 'name'. The implicit

>> methods need to be updated and re-installed.
>>
>> o The handling of the 'method' argument of glm() has been
>> refined following suggestions by Ioannis Kosmidis and Heather
>> Turner.
>>
>> o str() gains a new argument 'list.len' with default 99, limiting the
>> number of list() items (per level), thanks to suggestions from

>>
>> o Having formal arguments of an S4 method in a different order

>> UTF-8 respectively.
>>
>> o Unrecognized escapes and embedded nuls in character strings are

>>
>> o Informational messages about masked objects displayed when a

>>
>> o print.rle() gains argument 'prefix'.
>>
>> o download.file() gains a "curl" method, mainly for use on

>> hard-to-access URLs.
>>
>> o In Rd, \eqn and \deqn will render in HTML (and convert to text)
>> upper- and lower-case Greek letters (entered as \alpha ...),
>> \ldots, \dots, \ge and \le.
>>
>> o utf8ToInt() and intToUtf8() now map NA inputs to NA outputs.
>>
>> o file() has a new argument 'raw' which may help if it is used
>> with something other than a regular file, e.g. a character device.
>>
>> o New function strtoi(), a wrapper for the C function strtol.
>>
>> o as.octmode() and as.hexmode() now allow inputs of length other
>> than one.
>>
>> The format() and print() methods for "octmode" now preserve
>> names and dimensions (as those for "hexmode" did).
>>
>> The format() methods for classes "octmode" and "hexmode" gain
>> a 'width' argument.
>>
>> o seq.int() returns an integer result in some further cases
>> where seq() does, e.g. seq.int(1L, 9L, by = 2L).
>>
>> o Added \subsection{}{} macro to Rd syntax, for subsections
>> within sections.
>>
>> o n-dimensional arrays with dimension names can now be indexed
>> by an n-column character matrix. The indices are matched
>> against the dimension names. NA indices are propagated to the
>> result. Unmatched values and "" are not allowed and result in
>> an error.
>>
>> o interaction(drop=TRUE) uses less memory (related to PR#14121).
>>
>> o summary() methods have been added to the "srcref" and
>> "srcfile" classes, and various encoding issues have been
>> cleaned up.
>>
>> o If option "checkPackageLicense" is set to TRUE (not currently
>> the default), users will be asked to agree to
>> non-known-to-be-FOSS package licences at first use.
>>
>> o Checking setAs(a,b) methods only gives a message instead of a
>> warning, when one of a or b is unknown.
>>
>> o New function norm() to compute a matrix norm.
>> norm() and also backsolve() and sample() have implicit S4 generics.
>>
>> o Renviron.site and Rprofile.site can have architecture-specific
>> versions on systems with sub-architectures.
>>
>> o R CMD check now (by default) also checks Rd files for
>> auto-generated content in need of editing, and missing argument
>> descriptions.
>>
>> o aggregate() gains a formula method thanks to a contribution by
>> Arni Magnusson. The data frame method now allows summary
>> functions to return arbitrarily many values.
>>
>> o path.expand() now propagates NA values rather than converting them
>> to "NA".
>>
>> o file.show() now disallows NA values for file names, headers, and
>> pager.
>>
>> o The 'fuzz' used by seq() and seq.int() has been reduced from
>> 1e-7 to 1e-10, which should be ample for the double-precision
>> calculations used in R. It ensures that the fuzz never comes
>> into play with sequences of integers (wish of PR#14169).
>>
>> o The default value of RSiteSearch(restrict=) has been changed
>> to include vignettes but to exclude R-help. The R-help
>> archives available have been split, with a new option of
>> "Rhelp10" for those from 2010.
>>
>> o New function rasterImage() in the 'graphics' package for drawing
>> raster images.
>>
>> o stats:::extractAIC.coxph() now omits aliased terms when computing
>> the degrees of freedom (suggestion of Terry Therneau).
>>
>> o cor() and cov() now test for misuse with non-numeric
>> arguments, such as the non-bug report PR#14207.
>>
>> o pchisq(ncp =, log.p = TRUE) is more accurate for probabilities
>> near one. E.g. pchisq(80, 4, ncp=1, log.p=TRUE). (Maybe what
>> was meant in PR#14126.)
>>
>> o maintainer() has been added, to give convenient access to the
>> name of the maintainer of a package (contributed by David
>> Scott).
>>
>> o sample() and sample.int() allow zero items to be sampled from
>> a zero-length input. sample.int() gains a default value
>> 'size=n' to be more similar to sample().
>>
>> o switch() returned NULL on error (not previously documented on
>> the help page): it now does so invisibly, analogously to
>> if-without-else.
>>
>> It is now primitive: this means that EXPR is always matched to
>> the first argument and there is no danger of partial matching
>> to later named arguments.
>>
>> o Primitive functions UseMethod(), attr(), attr<-(), on.exit(),
>> retracemem() and substitute() now use standard argument
>> matching (rather than positional matching). This means that
>> all multi-argument primitives which are not internal now use
>> standard argument matching except where positional matching is
>> desirable (as for switch(), call(), .C() ...).
>>
>> o All the one-argument primitives now check that any name
>> supplied for their first argument is a partial match to the
>> argument name as documented on the help page: this also
>> applies to replacement functions of two arguments.
>>
>> o base::which() uses a new .Internal function when arr.ind is
>> FALSE resulting in a 10x speedup. Thanks to Patrick Aboyoun
>> for implementation suggestions.
>>
>> o Help conversion to text now uses the first part of \enc{}{}
>> markup if it is representable in the current output encoding.
>> On the other hand, conversion to LaTeX with the default
>> outputEncoding = "ASCII" uses the second part.
>>
>> o A new class "listOfMethods" has been introduced to represent
>> the methods in a methods table, to replace the deprecated
>> class "MethodsList".
>>
>> o any() and all() return early if possible. This may speed up
>> operations on long vectors.
>>
>> o strptime() now accepts "%z" (for the offset from UTC in the
>> RFC822 format of +/-hhmm).
>>
>> o The PCRE library has been updated to version 8.02, a bug-fix
>> release which also updates tables to Unicode 5.02.
>>
>> o Functions which may use a graphical select.list() (including
>> menu() and install.packages()) now check on a Unix-alike that
>> Tk can be started (and not just
>> capabilities("tcltk") && capabilities("X11")).
>>
>> o The parser no longer marks strings containing octal or hex
>> escapes as being in UTF-8 when entered in a UTF-8 locale.
>>
>> o On platforms with cairo but not Pango (notably Mac OS X) the
>> initial default X11() type is set to "Xlib": this avoids
>> several problems with font selection when done by cairo rather
>> than Pango (at least on Mac OS X).
>>
>> o New arrayInd() such that which(x, arr.ind = TRUE) for an array
>> 'x' is now equivalent to arrayInd(which(x), dim(x), dimnames(x)).
>>
>>
>> DEPRECATED & DEFUNCT
>>
>> o Bundles of packages are defunct.
>>
>> o stats::clearNames() is defunct: use unname().
>>
>> o Basic regular expressions are defunct, and strsplit(), grep(),
>> grepl(), sub(), gsub(), regexpr() and gregexpr() no longer
>> have an 'extended' argument.
>>
>> o methods::trySilent() is defunct.
>>
>> o index.search() (which was deprecated in 2.10.0) is no longer
>> exported and has a different argument list.
>>
>> o Use of multiple arguments to return() is now defunct.
>>
>> o The use of UseMethod() with more than two arguments is now defunct.
>>
>> o In the 'methods' package, the MethodsList metadata objects which
>> had been superseded by hash tables (environments) since R
>> 2.8.0 are being phased out. Objects of this class are no
>> longer assigned or used as metadata by the package.
>>
>> getMethods() is now deprecated, with its internal use replaced
>> by findMethods() and other changes. Creating objects from the
>> MethodsList class is also deprecated.
>>
>> o Parsing strings containing both octal/hex and Unicode escapes
>> now gives a warning and will become an error in R 2.12.0.
>>
>>
>> INSTALLATION
>>
>> o UTF-8 is now used for the reference manual and package
>> manuals. This requires LaTeX '2005/12/01' or later.
>>
>> o configure looks for a POSIX compliant tr, Solaris's
>> /usr/ucb/tr having been found to cause Rdiff to malfunction.
>>
>> o configure is now generated with autoconf-2.65, which works
>> better on recent systems and on Mac OS X.
>>
>>
>> PACKAGE INSTALLATION
>>
>> o Characters in R source which are not translatable to the
>> current locale are now handled more tolerantly: these will be
>> converted to hex codes with a warning. Such characters are
>> only really portable if they appear in comments.
>>
>> o R CMD INSTALL now tests that the installed package can be loaded
>> (and backs out the installation if it cannot): this can be
>> suppressed by --no-test-load. This avoids installing/updating
>> a package that cannot be used: common causes of failures to
>> load are missing/incompatible external software and
>> missing/broken dependent packages.
>>
>> o Package installation on Windows for a package with a src
>> directory now checks if a DLL is created unless there is a
>> src/Makefile.win file: this helps catch broken installations
>> where the toolchain has not reported problems in building the DLL.
>> (Note: this can be any DLL, not just one named <pkg-name>.dll.)
>>
>>
>> BUG FIXES
>>
>> o Using with(), eval() etc with a list with some unnamed
>> elements now works. (PR#14035)
>>
>> o The "quick" dispatch of S4 methods for primitive functions was
>> not happening, forcing a search each time. (Dispatch for
>> closures was not affected.) A side effect is that default
>> values for arguments in a method that do not have defaults in
>> the generic will now be ignored.
>>
>> o Trying to dispatch S4 methods for primitives during the search
>> for inherited methods slows that search down and potentially
>> could cause an infinite recursion. An internal switch was
>> added to turn off all such methods from
>> findInheritedMethods().
>>
>> o R framework installation (on Mac OS X) would not work properly
>> if a rogue Resources directory was present at the top level.
>> Such a non-symlink will now be renamed to Resources.old (and
>> anything previously named Resources.old removed) as part of
>> the framework installation process.
>>
>> o The checks for conforming S4 method arguments could fail when
>> the signature of the generic function omitted some of the
>> formal arguments (in addition to ...). Arguments omitted from
>> the method definition but conforming (per the documentation)
>> should now be ignored (treated as "ANY") in dispatching.
>>
>> o The computations for S4 method evaluation when '...' was in the
>> signature could fail, treating '...' as an ordinary symbol.
>> This has been fixed, for the known cases.
>>
>> o Various ar() fitting methods have more protection for singular
>> fits.
>>
>> o callNextMethod now works again with the drop= argument in `[`
>>
>> o parse() and parse_Rd() miscounted columns when multibyte UTF-8
>> characters were present.
>>
>> o Formatting of help pages has had minor improvements: extra
>> blank lines have been removed from the text format, and empty
>> package labels removed from HTML.
>>
>> o cor(A, B) where A has n x 1 and B a 1-dimensional array
>> segfaulted or gave an internal error.
>> (The case cor(B, A) was PR#7116.)
>>
>> o cut.POSIXt() applied to a start value after the DST transition
>> on a DST-change day could give the wrong time for 'breaks' in units
>> of days or longer. (PR#14208)
>>
>> o do_par() UNPROTECTed too early (PR#14214)
>>
>> o subassignment x[[....]] <- y didn't check for a zero-length
>> right hand side, and inserted rubbish value. (PR#14217)
>>
>> o fisher.test() no longer gives a P-value *very* slightly > 1,
>> in some borderline cases.
>>
>> o Internal function matchArgs no longer modifies the general
>> purpose bits of the SEXPs that make up the formals list of R
>> functions. This fixes an invalid error message that would
>> occur when a garbage collection triggered a second call to
>> matchArgs for the same function via a finalizer.
>>
>> o gsub() in 2.10.x could fail from stack overflow for extremely
>> long strings due to temporary data being allocated on the
>> stack. Also, gsub() with fixed=TRUE is in some circumstances
>> considerably faster.
>>
>> o Several primitives, including attributes(), attr<-()
>> interactive(), nargs() and proc.time(), did not check that
>> they were called with the correct number of arguments.
>>
>> o A potential race condition in list.files() when other processes
>> are operating on the directory has been fixed; the code now
>> dynamically allocates memory for file listings in a single
>> pass instead of making an initial count pass.
>>
>> o mean(x, trim=, na.rm = FALSE) failed to return NA if 'x'
>> contained missing values. (Reported by Bill Dunlap.)
>>
>> o Extreme tail behavior of, pbeta() {and hence pf()}, e.g.,
>> pbeta(x, 3, 2200, lower.tail=FALSE, log.p=TRUE) now returns
>> finite values instead of jumping to -Inf too early (PR#14230).
>>
>> o parse(text=x) misbehaved for objects 'x' that were not coerced
>> internally to character, notably symbols. (Reported to
>> R-devel by Bill Dunlap.)
>>
>> o The internal C function 'coerceSymbol' now handles coercion to
>> character, and warns if coercion fails (rather than silently
>> returning NULL). This allows a name to be given where a
>> character vector is required in functions which coerce
>> internally.
>>
>> o The interpretation by strptime() of %c was non-standard (not
>> that it is ever advisable to use locale- and system-specific
>> input formats).
>>
>> o capabilities("X11") now works the same way on Mac OS X as on
>> other platforms (and as documented: it was always true for R
>> built with --with-aqua, as the CRAN builds are).
>>
>> o The X11() device with cairo but not Pango (notably Mac OS X)
>> now checks validity of text strings in UTF-8 locales (since
>> Pango does but cairo it seems does not).
>>
>> o read.fwf() misread multi-line records when n was specified.
>> (PR#14241)
>>
>> o all.equal(*, tolerance = e) passes the numeric tolerance also to
>> the comparison of the attributes.
>>
>> o pgamma(0,0), a boundary case, now returns 0, its limit from the
>> left, rather than the limit from the right.
>>
>> o Issuing POST requests to the internal web server could stall
>> the request under certain circumstances.
>>
>> o gzcon( <textConnection> ), an error, no longer damages the
>> connection (in a way to have it seg.fault). (PR#14237)
>>
>> o All the results from hist() now use the nominal 'breaks' not
>> those adjusted by the numeric 'fuzz": in recent versions the
>> nominal 'breaks' were reported but the 'density' referred to
>> the intervals used in the calculation -- which mattered very
>> slightly for one of the extreme bins. (Based on a report by
>> Martin Becker.)
>>
>> o If xy[z].coords (used internally by many graphics functions) are
