[R] Correlation in Rattle

[Graham Williams]

Thanks for assisting here Paul.

It turns out there is a bug in this release of Rattle. It is fixed and
2.6.19 will include the fix.

In the mean time you can download an updated 2.6.18 from
http://www.togaware.com.au/repository/

Regards,
Graham

So I've at least been able to determine that there's nothing wrong with Rattle or with the combination of Ratttle and either the 64-bit and 32-bit versions of R 2.15.0. Beyond that, I'm not sure how much I can help you.

So, for example, if you don't click on Settings -> Use Cairo Graphics Device, graphs generally get printed in R itself rather than on top of the Rattle graphical interface. If that were happening, then simply minimizing Rattle and looking at R would reveal the graph. I think this is unlikely though, given that you seem to be able to view graphs created using "Distributions" on the Explore tab.

All the other commands work, the only 2 that do not work are Correlation and Principal Components. When I select either of them and click Execute absolutely nothing happens, I don't even get a warning message. I am working on a new project and since I don't have a great knowledge of R programing I am highly dependent on Rattle and it really bothers me that these two commands are not working for me.

Tried creating the plot using these data but got a warning saying I should limit the number of variables to 40. So I changed to the weather dataset that comes with the software (which has fewer variables) and everything worked fine.
