R help - Feb 2006 - Windows metafile problem

Hi All:

I'm using win.metafile() to produce windows metafiles. 

When I use Word to insert the wmf picture, Word gives an error!

I did my homework in posting this question, and couldn't find a fix.

Any suggestions?

The following:

win.metafile("c:/test.emf")
plot(rnorm(10))
dev.off()

works for me to create the enhanced windows metafile, which I can then 
insert into MS-Word.  How are you creating the metafile in R?  What is 
the error that MS-Word gives?

When you open the metafile with something like

win.metafile(filename = file.name, width = 6.5, height = 6.5, pointsize 12)

Where you have defined the file.name to include the path, you then, of
course, execute the R logic to create the file.

BUT, don't forget to close the file to tidy things up.  Otherwise the file
will be there, but it won't be useable.  So your final statement should be

dev.off()

Dear R-ers:

I'm using Thomas Lumley's "survey" package.

I'd like to compute survey ratio estimates (numerator=~utd ,
denominator=~one) for each of serval domains using by=~factor(domain).

I can't quite work out the syntax for the call to the "svyby"
function. I try:

svyby( numerator=~ utd, denominator=~one ,  by=~ factor(domain) , design=nis ,
svyratio )

and I get an error that says that "domain" is not found. (nis is the
design object)

Can someone steer me into the correct syntax?

 

Thanks,

Phil Smith
