Does anyone know where I can find good ol' fashion gv? It seems the only ghostview is kghostview or evince. -- James A.

I create lots of postscript files which I view with ghostview. The beginning of the files all begin something like %!PS-Adobe-3.0 %%DocumentNeededResources: font Helvetica %%+ font Helvetica-Bold %%+ font Helvetica-Oblique %%+ font Helvetica-BoldOblique %%+ font Symbol %%DocumentMedia: a4 595 841 0 () () %%Title: R Graphics Output %%Creator: R Software Th...

Neither approach brought the favoured result.

...server is a Data General Intel box running DGUX R4.20. Compile and install went incredibly well and things have just about working straight off. However, we experienced a little 'funny' this afternoon. A user was creating and deleting a postscipt file in a Unix directory. She then used Ghostview on the PC client to view this postscript file. All went well the first time, but when she deleted and recreated the file in Unix and tried to reread it in Ghostview on the PC, she still got the previous version of the file. It is obvious that the PC has cached the file locally and is not seeing...

Hi, a colleague of mine encountered some unexpected behavior regarding the postscript output from R. It's difficult for me to tell whether or not this is an R problem or a ghostview/gv/interpreter problem. Just to note, I think it's exactly the same situation reported here: http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02/archive/25436.html The following code produces a working plot (no problems, as far as I can see): par(mfrow = c(2,2)) plot.new() plot(1:10, 1:10, xlab = &quot...

Thanks to all who replied. Mostly the suggestion was to add the argument horizontal= FALSE to the postscript function. However, I was trying to generate a landscape graph. The "fault" lies with gs as Peter Dalgaard pointed out. Under Windows 95, gsview has an option to view landscape or portrait and therefore this problem does not arise on that platform.

...and from older postings i adapted the following code: postscript(file="Figure1.eps", title="Figure 1", width=11.5, height=8, paper="a4",onefile=FALSE) However,  when checking the properties of this file, it is a .ps and not a .eps file. So, i konverted to .eps with ghostview. Then, for windows it is no longer a file of type "postscript", but just a file of type "file", what makes me nervous. Any clue how to produce .eps-files in a more convenient way? In addition, the journal says that the files should be at 600 dpi resolution. Since there is no...

...e the .tex file created by Sweave, it includes the includegraphics{} statement needed. When I run LaTeX on the .tex file, everything works except that the graphics I want are not displayed. However, when I examine the pdf or eps files created, there is nothing there. When I view the EPS using Ghostview, the file is empty, but there appears to be a bounding box surrounding nothing. When I open the pdf graphic, there is nothing there either. I have tried creating both dvis and pdf files. Again, text works perfectly, but graphics do not work. Does anyone have any suggestions? Many thanks, Haro...

...After editing the labels and annotations using Acrobat, I then export the file to Adobe's .eps format so I can insert the picture into a Microsoft Word 2000 document. The .pdf file distilled from the .ps file is crystal clear, while the .eps file is fuzzy at any resolution in any program (Ghostview 4/Ghostscript 7), Paintshop Pro 7, Word 2000, Powerpoint 2000. Is there some way to keep the .eps resolution the same as the .pdf/.ps resolution? (I realize that LaTex is the way to go, but I'm too near completion of this project to change the entire document. And, the journal is too Nean...

...ce solution. So I decided to post one I came up with. The problem is that graphs output as eps files, for example using ps.options(onefile=FALSE, paper="special", width=8, height=8, horizontal=FALSE, pointsize=12) get rotated when I convert them to pdf using epstopdf. Both ghostview and acroread display them rotated, so I don't think it's an actual acroread bug. I am using R 1.8.1. The solution is to "distill" the files using eps2eps, part of ghostscript on my Debian box. Here is an example Makefile I use for this: ---- cut here ---- EPS2EPS=eps2eps EPSTO...

I find, viewing the output with ghostview, that lty="2","3", or "4" gives the same dashed line. So basically you have choice of solid ("1") or dashed ("2","3","4"). If this is not implemented yet, maybe the docs should reflect it? Hmm now I tried plotting with both lty...

I have a minor problem with the PostScript generated by R-0.63.1. Specifically, the files generated *will* work in: ghostview on an HP LaserJet on an Apple LaserWriter *will not* work in: ghostscript under xdvi on a SPARCprinter The error message on the SPARCprinter was Error: /invalidfont Command: 'definefont' Ostack: /Font5 /Font5 font(Symbol,1) Estack: [and quite a bit more ...]...

I have attached an image file created by R. The image has white horizontal lines between the cells. The image looks OK in the R Graphics window, but has the horiz lines when viewed in Ghostview (after using save.plot) or when printed out using print.plot. There appears to be a problem with the image code (maybe this will go away in the new version). I am running under Linux and am using 61.1. Thanks very much for any help.

...example, if 'graph.ps' is such a file, I'd like to type something like this: > plot.postscript.file(file = 'graph.ps') If no such function exists, I'd be interested in a way to use existing R functions to do this under UNIX or Windows, preferably without a system call to GhostView (gv).

i created a postscipt file in R and then i downloaded a free version of ghostview to view it. unfortunately, i get the message fata error : dynamic memory exhausted when i try to view it. when i do a dir on windows xp, the file size is 149,034,475 and i know there about 17,000 graphs. is there a way of possibly viewing this size postscript file in R itself ?...

Hi there folks I have R 1.3.0 running on Red Hat Linux 7.1 with GhostView 3.5.8. When I produce a file like: > bitmap("foo.pdf", type="pdfwrite") > plot(foo) > dev.off() and then try to read it with gv, I get an unrecoverable error and nothing displayed. Any help as to whether this ***should*** work would be appreciated. cheers, John -...

...r layout. Links to files such as PDF are therefore opened within frame. However, with PDFs this can be distracting if you have a small monitor, since left frame can be small for viewing PDFs with bookmark toolbar in the left in Acrobat Reader. It isn't such a bug problem with others i.e. (K)Ghostview etc, but it can be still small to look at. I suggest to add targets to all links to PDF files. If one wants to see that link will be opened in new frame/tab then target="_blank" should used, otherwise target="_top" will cause that PDF will be opened "over all frames&qu...

...le use the arrows() command to add error bars to their plots. I think there is a problem when trying to draw arrows of zero length. In the following code, certainly the x driver produces an odd-angled line. In the postscript device, NaNQ values are generated; when the postscript file is viewed in Ghostview, an error is then generated. Sample run: postscript(file="test.ps") x <- c(0, 1, 2) y <- c(0, -0.5, 0.3) s <- c(0, 0.1, 0.1) plot(x,y) arrows(x, y-s, x, y+s, code=3, angle=90) dev.off() Looking in the file test.ps I see the following (around line 160): np 103.58 354.24 m 103....

Hi, All; When I generate a "special" paper postscript image larger than "a4" or "letter" using R, I can only see one-page portion of all image, of course. What will be the simple solution for this? Is there any way I can set the bounding box information on the image? Or any other suggestions? Thanks in advance; Tae-Hoon Chung

To the plot experts: when creating a plot containing different lines, each with a special line type, it may happen that the result of 'postscript()' is not readable by ghostview (which may not be an R error, thus not bug report ;-). This is the case when mixing lty as 0:6 and character or even when using lty as character only. Example: postscript("test.ps") plot(1:10, type="l", lty=1) lines(sample(10), lty="9A1A1A") lines(sample(10), lt...
