Hi, I am VERY interested in getting the xfig driver so that I can edit graphical output from R. Searching through the mail archives and reading documentation isn't helping. Is there or isn't there a working driver for this purpose. How can I get it? I tried looking at the development version of the tarballs, but I didn't find anything that looked promising in there. Also, does anybody else have problems with using ghostscript on the postscript output from R? BK ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian T.

Brian: you may like to consider pstoedit for that purpose. It has many useful drivers, like xfig, tgif, etc..., and outputs an editable source. The program was written by Wolfgang Glunz and can be found at ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/applications/pstoedit.2.60.tar.gz or at http://www.vectaport.com/ivtools/pstoedit.2.60.tar.gz (as far as I know this is the latest release).

I don't know of an xfig driver, although I don't keep up with the latest versions. One solution that (sort of) works is to get ahold of pstoedit, which can convert relatively straightforward PostScript into xfig format (although you usually have to tweak the positions of text, etc. a little bit). I have only had problems using ghostscript from within xdvi (probably because of PostScript Level 1/2 incompatibilities); this was briefly discussed on R-devel a while back. [ If we did have an xfig driver, it would be neat to have R automatically spawn an xfig process and put the graphics right into it ...] On Wed, 3 Mar 1999, Brian Kurotsuchi wrote:> Hi, I am VERY interested in getting the xfig driver so that I can edit > graphical output from R.

It shouldn't be all that difficult to model something on the PicTex driver by changing the TeX commands into the Fig-format file entries, but it isn't an afternoons work either. And, as someone already said, you my want to try pstoedit first.>Also, does anybody else have problems with using ghostscript on the postscript >output from R?Older version of GS certainly do cause trouble.
