[Rd] Re: [R] Printing Lattice Graphs from Windows (PR#6948)
Hi, Duncan:
I just did "plot(1:2)" in Rgui.exe, and that copied fine as a
metafile into MS Word via the clipboard.
Then I exited and restarted Rterm.exe under ESS and tried it
again. This time, I got a blank image copied into MS Word. However,
after I modified the Lattice defaults via,
"trellis.par.set('background', list('white'));
trellis.par.set('plot.symbol', list(cex=0.8, col=1, font=1,
pch=1))", I
was able to copy the results of "xyplot(1~1)" as a metafile into Word.
Unfortunately, when I tried modifying the Lattice defaults the same way
under Rgui.exe. I again got a blank image copied into Word.
hope this helps. spencer graves

Yes, definitely. Can someone distill this down to code that uses only
the base packages (e.g. just grid)? Lattice is a recommended package,
so I'd refer you to its maintainer, but it's probably something in a
base package that's going wrong.
Once you've done that, please submit it as a bug report with
reproducible code. I've never looked at the Windows metafile device
driver, so it's unlikely I'll fix this by 1.9.1, but it is something
that should be fixed.

It does *not* help to generate a new bug report when replying to a message to R-devel: please be more careful. The PR number is PR#6947.

This time, I got a blank image copied into MS Word. However,A blank image from "plot(1:2)"? That's news. As I have now posted twice, there is something random here (probably depending on some uninitialized variable), so only the results of repeated testing are of any value.> after I modified the Lattice defaults via, > "trellis.par.set('background', list('white')); > trellis.par.set('plot.symbol', list(cex=0.8, col=1, font=1, pch=1))", I > was able to copy the results of "xyplot(1~1)" as a metafile into Word. > Unfortunately, when I tried modifying the Lattice defaults the same way > under Rgui.exe.
