R help - Sep 2011 - Using SVG in R

Hi,

I've been trying to use SVG in R using the function svg, but all my my
graphics end up with the text being very small to be point you can't even
see them.  I've attached a screenshot of what the output for a histogram
looks like.  Here is my code:

CairoSVG('file/location')
hist(....)
dev.off()

Am I missing something here?  Thanks,

Fong

Perhaps the problem could be solved by playing with the pointsize argument
to CairoSVG or the various plotting parameters of hist().

More generally, this code:

R> library(CairoSVG)
R> CairoSVG()
R> hist(rpois(500,3))
R> dev.off()

produced an entirely acceptable SVG image on my computer so I can't
replicate the problem...

As a general life question, why in a question about SVG files would you send
us a PNG screenshot rather than the SVG itself? Can SVG's not be sent over
the mailing list?

Michael
