I use AfterStep on Linux. I made an R.xpm file (attached) and put this icon in the "wharf". To invoke R I click on the R icon. I did not find an offical R.xpm, and so I am submitting this one for your collective consideration.... The idea behind the icon is that it looks like a scatterplot, which is "statistical". My main beefs with my R.xpm are that it doesn't have a transparent background (don't know how to do it) and it is not really centred. If anyone knows how to fix it up please send me a fixed version.

I use the .jpg version in my Gnome panel. The last one is an old screen dump that has been scaled down (with some pre-blurring and post-sharpening). Probably not too useful, but I got curious as to how small you could make such an image and still be able to recognize the graph. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.

So why not take that and convert to an xpm bitmap. This makes an xpm of the same size as you sent: [jarioksa at pc112145 jarioksa]$ convert -size 50x50 Rlogo.jpg R2.xpm Where convert is program in the ImageMagick package. This is coloured xpm: I don't know if that works in AfterStep, but it looks almost OK in Gnome Desktop -- although it is not transparent (that can be done as well, I am sure, but don't have time to find out the way).

Hi,> I did not find an offical R.xpm, and so I am submitting this one > for your collective consideration....An updated (transparent and centered) version is to be found at: http://swipc30.swi.psy.uva.nl/~rijn/R I've also included a transparent and scaled version of the R-logo as found on the www.r-project.org pages. Both icons are 50x50, just let me know if you want a differently scaled version.

If I want icons at all, I want lots of small ones. -- Brian D.
