Ditto Denmark, which is also famously HUGE and far away from the equator
Something like `if (any(dir.exists(filename))) filename <- list.files(filename, pattern = ext)`. Haven't run across issues yet, but I guess limiting file extension patterns is crucial.
I have a bunch of functions where `filename` can be either a string pointing to a file, a string pointing to a directory, or a vector of strings pointing to filenames. May well be bad practice, I don't think I've done this in a library that has gone through CRAN review...
Great news! Thanks so much Christian!
Ah, that's really good to hear!
I was hoping to go to CorpusPhon2 but was a bit shocked yesterday to see that the deadline is already in a week. I've been looking for a call online but hadn't managed to find one before yesterday.
I think we might have had the same reviewer 🙃
Same! Won't see you there!
Is that even a "legal" package name? Fairly sure R wouldn't allow package names with hyphens in them!
Hi Samuel! There's currently no option to directly control the number of axis ticks, although this is something I could probably implement without too much trouble. If you set `min_max_only = FALSE`, R will automatically set axis ticks depending on the size of the plot
are YOU a university professor, professor emeriti or associate professor of history, social sciences, law, philosophy, theology, and religion?
Did you know you can nominate people for the Nobel Peace Prize?
And this isn't even at all a complex example
I get a bit of a headache just looking at that matrix, it's pretty clunky
In case any of this is helpful
\usepackage{tikz,tikz-qtree}
\tikzset{mytree/.style={baseline=(top.base),
level distance=2em, sibling distance=4em, align=center,
parent anchor=south, child anchor=north, anchor=north}}
\usetikzlibrary{shapes,shadows,arrows,positioning,graphs,matrix}
Right! There are a few things in my preamble probably related to this, but I can't remember anymore what the logic was! Should've written more comments 😵💫
I had this sort of thing in my dissertation which was done with tikz. Looks like delinking was just a small = placed in the middle of the line, not super elegant but got the job done
Was wondering about this! Last week, someone on my street had put out a trash can with a sign on it saying BLACK ICE VERY SLIPPY
One of my favorite street names in Leiden!
Other goodies include overdue bug fixes, and the option to specify energy ranges by channel when plotting stereo or multi-channel data. The manual is up-to-date, and this new version should be available on CRAN very soon!

Mainly, you can now easily plot ERB and Mel scaled spectrograms and spectra. This something that I didn't know a nice way of doing before but came in handy when teaching the difference between 'physicalist' and 'perceptualist' (?) scales. Hope this can be useful to others too!
I survived my first teaching term in Oxford! To celebrate, I've made some updates to the praatpicture library! 🥂

It never really otherwise seems to come up in discussions of trills. Who produced one between 1987 and 1989??
Does anyone have any insights as to why labiodental trills are *not* greyed out in the IPA chart? Henton brings it up as an example of an impossible sound in a 1987 discussion paper that precedes the Greyboi™, but as far as I can tell it's never been greyed out.
😭
Hard cavity!
Right, thanks for sharing the link! 😄
