Hi all,
I tried to install the rimage in order to get to the function
?read.jpeg. However, I get this error, independent what mirror I
choose:
install.packages("rimage")
--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---
Warning message:
In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :
package ?rimage? is not available>
Does anybody know what happend with the package? Is there an
alternative, I simply want to draw a background picture for a plot
using the standard graphics package.
Thanks,
Ralf
The rimage package appears to have been abandoned. One option is the EBImage package from Bioconductor. -- Gregory (Greg) L.

Hi Ralf, Are you using Mac OSX ? There isn't a binary available for OSX but you can apparently install the package from sources. However, it seems that you have to manually install some system dependencies first: http://www.r-cookbook.com/node/18 I'm going to try it myself shortly.
