Greetings,
I am a new user of R but a long time fan of S (Splus) and have
installed R version 0.65.1 on a
Windows NT machine. I would like to save plots as gif files and have
been using savePlot()
with some success. I found that savePlot would not work without
modification, namely
decrementing the device by 1 before calling the internal routine that
does the conversion. Once
that change was made it worked as advertised. I am wondering now whether
I could generate
the gif files in a batch job. I am wanting to do a web-based analysis
that includes a call to
R which would return a gif file for display in a browser. Is this
possible directly with R?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Dennis

It did work as advertised when it was released, but something may have changed en route to rw0651 (for example a correction may have got lost).> Once > that change was made it worked as advertised.

It won't do gif unless your version of ghostscript will, but it will do png and jpeg. -- Brian D.

However, we will probably withdraw support to direct generation of gif to avoid some legal problems. Hence, give a try also to 'dev2bitmap' (which however require ghostscript installed). guido -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
