[Rd] Windows R-3.0.0 and Tcl/tkrplot issue
Greetings R Developers,
I've been testing the alpha release of R-3.0.0 and I noticed that the
plotting functionality in package tkrplot was not working correctly.
Further diagnosis found the issue to be related to the command
'.Tcl("image create Rplot plotname")' from package
"tkrplot".
The following example is taken from here:
http://tkrplot.sourcearchive.com/documentation/0.0.14/tcltkimg_8c_source.html
> library(tkrplot)
> library(tcltk)
> my.tkdev <- function() win.metafile(width=4,height=4)
> my.tkdev()
> plot(1:20)
> .Tcl("image create Rplot fred")
Error in structure(.External(.C_dotTcl, ...), class = "tclObj") :
[tcl] can't get device image.
This example works fine in R-2.15.3. I've emailed the package maintainer
Luke Tierney but unfortunately he doesn't have the ability to build and test
packages on windows.
Can anyone elucidate what tcltk changes have been made in moving to R-3.0.0?
Details of installation are as follows:
> version
platform i386-w64-mingw32
arch i386
os mingw32
system i386, mingw32

Wayne

This has been fixed already, as far as I know, Uwe On 18.03.2013 12:10, Wayne.W.Jones at shell.com wrote:> Greetings R Developers, > > I've been testing the alpha release of R-3.0.0 and I noticed that the plotting functionality in package tkrplot was not working correctly. > Further diagnosis found the issue to be related to the command '.Tcl("image create Rplot plotname")' from package "tkrplot". > > The following example is taken from here: http://tkrplot.sourcearchive.com/documentation/0.0.14/tcltkimg_8c_source.html > >> library(tkrplot) >> library(tcltk) >> my.tkdev <- function() win.metafile(width=4,height=4) >> my.tkdev() >> plot(1:20) >> .Tcl("image create Rplot fred") > Error in structure(.External(.C_dotTcl, ...), class = "tclObj") : > [tcl] can't get device image. > > This example works fine in R-2.15.3.
