System: [Windows XP Pro, R 2.8.0 and R 2.81.] When I do R graphics on Windows and want .eps output for LaTeX, with *tight bounding boxes* I usually do as follows from Rgui: - Save as Postscript ... myfig.ps - Open myfig.ps in Gsview, select PS to EPS, Save as ... myfig.eps This always worked before, and gave me .eps files that did not include much more white space than I like, didn't require fiddling with par(), nor using \includegraphics[trim=....]{myfig}. But now I've encountered a problem that prevents this workflo...

...c", width = 3, height = 5.5, onefile = TRUE, horizontal=FALSE, family = "sans", title = "testfig", fonts = "sans") plot(1:5, 1:5, ylab = " \211") dev.off() ############################################# If I then try to open the above file in GSview, it doesn't work and I get all sorts of errors. I initially thought this might be an issue with ghostscript, but then I looked into the .eps file with a text editor, and see this under the encoding: % begin encoding /.notdef /.notdef /.notdef /.notdef /.notdef /.notdef /.notdef /.notdef...

A few of you have helpfully sent me references to WMF formats. There is also some code to _read_ it at http://www.csn.ul.ie/~caolan/docs/libwmf.html However, the issue is to _write_ WMF on R under Unix. I am told (by someone who has tried) that the problem is the if you write a WMF file according to the published specs (which were once issued by Microsoft) you find that e.g. Word does not read

Hi I am trying to save some plots in a postscript file. When I generate the plots in the main window, they appear correctly - their orientation is landscape (i.e., horizontal). However, when I open the .ps file with GSview, the whole page appears vertically, and the plot appears horizontally, which means that the plot is only partially visible (example here https://webfiles.uci.edu/mpetresc/postscript.files/default.ps ). I searched the R-help mailing list archive and found 2 suggestions: setting the width and he...

Remember that thread a long time ago about how to get R graphics into Ms Word? I'm looking at it now because my coauthor is a Windows User, I use RedHat linux. I output some eps files from R. I found one relatively painless route to get these figures into a Word document: View in GSview, copy to clipboard, then paste into document. I've not seen this one mentioned, and it has the virtue of using free software (gsview). On linux, the eps files look fine, but in gsview (version 3.4) on windows, they have a huge blank space at the top of the graph. THere is an option "eps...

As a complete newcomer I am attempting to learn to use R, but am finding it extremely difficult because I have not yet found an "Introduction to R". For over a week now I have monitored the R-help list, studied the R-FAQ and related documents, downloaded and run the Windows R and looked at the Help, downloaded early and late samples of the R-help archives, and searched for illuminating

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. partha_bagchi at hgsi.c...

Is there any R function that can display a Postscript file that is already in the working directory? For 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

With R 2.3.1 on Windows, I've noticed that it defaults to the "WinAsci.enc" encoding, which throws up an error when viewed with the default install of GhostScript/GSView (versions 8.51/4.7 respectively). I didn't have this problem prior to upgrading to 2.3.1 as I can view all my old PS graphs and they don't have the WinAsci encoding. I've got around this problem by adding encoding="CP1251.enc" to the postscript call but it seems a little...

Hi, I'm looking for a usable PDF viewer with CentOS 4.3. On my previous install (Slack running XFCE with a handful of GNOME libs), I used Evince, which is just great. Looks like this is an Achilles' heel in CentOS, as I tested three available PDF viewers (ggv, gsview, acroread) with various PDF documents downloaded from the internet (which all display perfectly with Evince): either the result is just ugly, like Lego for the very young. Or the document can't be opened at all and produces an error. Which is annoying, as I have to install this in a production...

Viewing certain postscript files under R 2.13-0 is very slow, at least using GSview on my 64 bit Windows 7 system. To see this, compare how long it takes to display these two files (fast.ps was created by removing the /srgb stuff in .ps.prolog): www.milbo.org/postscript/slow.ps www.milbo.org/postscript/fast.ps The code to produce the above two files is here: www...

Hi, I have a puzzeling problem. I want to export graphics from R to TeX via postscript(). This works fine for some graphs, but for others, the eps remain empty when viewed with GSView. When such an empty eps is imported to TeX, the figure appears upside down and very small, irrespective of TeX width and height commands. If I transform the eps to pdf, the graphic shows up, but turned aqround 90°. It appears that, when printing the figures to the gaphics window in R, the backgroun...

...line (like the company-logo). I insert the logo in the headline in Word or Staroffice as a GIF/BMP (no matter). The original PS-file can be shown quite well. But when my scripts are ready, the PS file cannot be displayed because of an error in the middle of the graphic-data (so the offending offset gsview reports). As I tried out what it could be, I notice the scripts work fine with the cliparts (WMF?) Word wa shipped with. And a GIF or BMP in the middle of the text is no problem also. Now, where/what is the problem (I have it, but I did not localize it yet)? How can I solve it? thx! Ludwig

I generated a PDF output file of 10 plots. When I try to view it with Adobe reader (R4 & R5), it will lockup the reader (it is consuming 100% of the CPU) after presenting the 4th plot. I can generate the plots just fine in Windows and as a postscript file reading it with GSview. Is there anyway to tell what might be wrong with the PDF output? The file is 890KB in size if anyone would like to look at it. The postscript file is 783KB in size. I was able to isolate it to a single plot in a PDF file and it had 38,000 lines of the following that composed 99% of the file:...

Hello list, I have encountered a problem trying to save graphs using the R-graphics menu: File|Save as. The menu suggests that files may be saved as either Metafile, Postscript, pdf, png, bmp, jpeg. When I specify any of those file formats a menu comes up requesting a file name. After providing a name R invariably hangs and has to be restarted. I am able to save files under the various

...t is active: I could be sure of this fact because changes in the autoexec.bat are taken into account, for example variables for Latex as: set TEX=latex) As written in the Win-FAQ of R, when I enter Sys.getenv("PATH"), I can read: "F:\\Program Files\\TeXLive\\bin\\win32;C:\\Ghostgum\\gsview;c:\\jdk1.3\\bin;F:\\Tcl\\bin;F:\\Tcl\\lib" so Tcl seems to be in my PATH... After that, when I load the Tcltk library, I have this error message: Error in firstlib(which.lib.loc, package) : TCL_LIBRARY is not set Error in library(tcltk) : .First.lib failed Is that a problem of the T...

Hi! Whenever I save a graphic in ps/eps format generated by filled.contour or image, an undesired grid is added to it (not visible on the X11 screen). For example: postscript("volcano.eps") filled.contour(volcano,col=gray(seq(0,1,,50)),levels=seq(min(volcano),max(volcano),,50)) dev.off() Any ideia how to eliminate this grid? Thanks, Rachel [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

it seems that word can not read encapsupalted postscripts generated by R I used this command postscript("output.eps",horizontal=F,onefile=TRUE) since onefile=TRUE produces an encapsualted postscript actually what I'm trying to do is to insert the postsript file into a word document since other formats like jpeg and bmp do not reproduce the same quality like postscript formats any

gday R friends, I was wondering if anyone could help me with some graphics issues please. I'm processing R in batch on redhat6.2 with some graphics to be imported into msword on NT. For scaling within my doco I want some vector type graphics. win.metafile doesn't seem to be supported on redhat which gives me postscript. postscript is ideal but doesn't contain a preview so I
