R help - Mar 2001 - diagonal line through plot when using pictex()

Greetings-

I've got some plots I'd like to include in a LaTeX document;
specifically,
I'd like to include them via pictex() so I can edit some of the
particulars directly. However, an odd problem is coming up: a diagonal
line is drawn from bottom-left to upper-right when using pictex().  This
does not happen using X11() or postscript() with the same series of
commands.

Any ideas why this happens? If not, any references to PicTeX so I can
figure out how to remove the line after writing the file?

Thanks.

It was a bug, which is already fixed in 1.2.2.  Please
upgrade.

    o   The pictex() driver was drawing polylines incorrectly (PR#845).

When something like this comes up it is worth consulting the R-bugs
archive.
