[R] e1071::SVM calculate distance to separating hyperplane

[Vermeiren, Hans [VRCBE]]

Hi,
I know this question has been posed before, but I didnt find the answer in
the R-help archive, so please accept my sincere apologies for being
repetitive:
How can one (elegantly) calculate the distance between data points (in the
transformed space, I suppose) and the hyperplane that separates the 2
categories when using svm() from the e1071 library?

thanks a lot,
Hans
