R help - Jun 2007 - Problem with RSVGTipsDevice

Hi there.

I am still trying to get the RSVGTipsDevice to work, yet I can not.

I have copied the first example from RSVGTipsDevice documentation:

library(RSVGTipsDevice)
devSVGTips("C:\\svgplot1.svg", toolTipMode=1,
title="SVG example plot 1: shapes and points, tooltips are title + 1
line")
plot(c(0,10),c(0,10), type="n", xlab="x",
ylab="y",
main="Example SVG plot with title + 1 line tips (mode=1)")
setSVGShapeToolTip(title="A rectangle", desc="that is
yellow")
rect(1,1,4,6, col='yellow')
setSVGShapeToolTip(title="1st circle with title only")
points(5.5,7.5,cex=20,pch=19,col='red')
setSVGShapeToolTip(title="A triangle", desc="big and green")
polygon(c(3,6,8), c(3,6,3), col='green')
# no tooltips on these points
points(2:8, 8:2, cex=3, pch=19, col='black')
# tooltips on each these points
invisible(sapply(1:7, function(x)
{setSVGShapeToolTip(title=paste("point", x))
points(x+1, 8-x, cex=3, pch=1, col='black')}))
dev.off()

This results in the following output:

http://www.nabble.com/file/p11064573/svgplot1.svg svgplot1.svg 

It opens but when I try and hover over the triangle, for example, I do not
get a topptip box appear. I have tried opening the file though firefox, and
XP IE - and on more than one computer yet it does not work. Do I need to
install something else as well?

Many thanks

Hi Mister_Bluesman,

Sorry to sadden you further, but your example svg works perfectly on my
machine (R 2.5 running on Vista).  All the "ToolTips" display. 
Perhaps it's
your browser [setup]: I'm using Opera 9.20 (Build 8771).

HTH,

Mark Difford.

Ah. Now that's intersting. It works in Opera. But do you get an annoying
'Null' label by the cursor when you place it over the svg file?

MANY thanks

Mister_Bluesman,

Perhaps I should have been more precise: your included svgplot1.svg displays
fine...!

Hi Mister_Bluesman,

Sadly it is; and it stays up (in what's probably a bold, sans serif),
lurking behind the "ToolTip," when that comes up.

This is not my area of X, but any standard txt editor will open an svg file. 
If you search through your file you will find lots and lots of "null"
arguments to various functions.  It's likely that the problem lies there.

HTH,

Mark Difford.

The new version of RSVGTipsDevice (0.7.1) that is now available on CRAN 
should fix this problem.  Please let me know if it doesn't, or if there 
are other problems.
