Sorry for duplicating the message, the previous had an unintended subject line... Dear helpers, I have a question about the SVG device. It works fine, the SVG file is indeed produced, only the graphic differs from the R window. In the SVG file the dashed line is just a regular plain one. My toy example is: library(RSvgDevice) devSVG("myplot.svg", width=10, height=10) plot(1:10) abline(v=5, lty=?dashed?) dev.off() Is there anything more (or different) I should do? Many thanks in advance, Adrian
