I like the first one! In fact I'm searching for its functions. But I think it only realizes a very limited part of the wonderful natures of Flash/Swf. Where is the animation? I only see static images from its demo.
Hope you can develop a much more powerful one! And integrate it to your animation package.

In fact I watched its demos yesterday. But is there any thing moving?

Yes, there are a couple of demos which contain buttons in them; you may click on the button and watch points moving or lines circling...

Sorry, I have no idea. I can use it under Ubuntu (Linux), and I do not know how to fix your problem under Windows. Maybe you should write directly to the developer.

P.S. It is too careless to leave your password here... I've replace it with xxxx.

Hi! I've tried to install RGoogleTrends directly from Omegahat and also from a local file. However, I've got the following issue:

package ‘RGoogleTrends’ is not available (for R version 2.15.0)

Do you know how can I solve this ? Thank you so much!

yihui 2022-12-16 17:17:32

Omegahat is dying as a package repository as I can see, but you can always install the packages from source -- download the tar.gz file and run R CMD INSTALL foobar_x.x.tar.gz in a command window. If you are under Windows, you have to install Rtools first.

Hey! Thanks for the advice!

Firstly, I installed RTools for Windows. Then, I used install.packages (...) command in RGui and it actually worked well. However, I've got the following error when I try to execute this piece of code:

library(RGoogleTrends)> options(GooglePassword = c(user = "password"))
ans = getGTrends("query term")
Error in sqliteExecStatement(conn, statement, ...) : RS-DBI driver: (error in statement: no such table: moz_cookie Shall I install some other dependencies? or Do you think this error came up due to the way I installed RGoogleTrends package?

Thanks in advance.

yihui 2022-12-16 17:17:33

I do not think it is related to the way you installed the package. I'd rather believe something has changed in Firefox but RGoogleTrends was not updated accordingly. You have to talk to Duncan if this is the case.
