Version 0.90.1 (December 15, 1999)
on NT 4.0 gives me problems with:
win.metafile(file="./x.emf")
x <- 1:100/7
plot(x,cos(x),type="n")
lines(x,sin(x))
abline(v=0:15,h=-2:2/2,col=gray(0.8))
Only labels and titles on axes are in the file.
No axes or lines of any kind. (I look at the file by
inserting it in Word, which is what I need for
my client). Variations over the theme by using
type="l" or "p", does not change anything.
Am I missing a point? Or is this a known bug?

Interestingly 3) If I copy to the clipboard as a metafile and paste into Word, I do see the lines, but if I copy the graphics device to a file I do not. Also 4) I have seen this with metafiles from S-PLUS 4.5 to Word 97, and 3) also held true there I suspect that the anti-aliasing built into the NT4 display engine is losing narrow lines completely (it does a poor job of small fonts), and if you do what you did, you will get a much larger nominal page and hence relatively narrower lines than copying a graphics device to the clipboard. I might try setting width and height on the win.metafile device to something much closer to the size you want to include at. (I haven't do so, though.) -- Brian D.
