...ing to get grImport up and running. I'm on a Windows 7 (home premium 64 bit) machine running R-2.12.2 along with GPL Ghostscript 9.01. I've set my Windows PATH variable to point to the Ghostscript \bin and \lib directories, and I've created the R_GSCMD environment variable pointing to gswin32c.exe. I don't have any experience with Ghostscript, but with the setup described above I can view the postscript file with the following command to the Windows command prompt: gswin32c.exe D:\Sndbx\vasarely.ps However, I can't get the PostScriptTrace() function to work on the same file.

...ity = 100, bg = "white", restoreConsole = TRUE) I have tried different heights and widths, thinking that I had a margins problem, but no luck. I have also verified that ghostscript is installed, and that the environmental variable "R_GSCMD" is set to the correct path to gswin32c.exe. Oh, and the image device itself displays properly in the R graphics window. I can just manually save it through the menu, but I want to have more control over the dimensions. I have also tried bitmap() and png() to no avail. Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks, Sarah

...inning as the documentation seems not to match the usage of the function. For GhostScript, one has to set the argument gs_cmd, which has the following description: gs_cmd - Character string giving the path to the GhostScript executable, if that is to be used. On Windows this is the path to 'gswin32c.exe' or 'gswin64c.exe'. If "", the function will try to find a platform-specific path to GhostScript. The first part seems not to work as described. If gs_cmd is given, this is passed to find_gs_cmd. This function will then call: Sys.which(gs_cmd) which rather takes the na...

Many medical journals and publishers require that images, whether photographs or line art, be submitted as high resolution .TIFF images. One option for R users is to produce an image in one format and to convert it to a .TIFF file using a second software program. My experience has been that this option often results in images of poorer quality, often with blurry contours, and a loss of

...fixed in postscript() (but not a couple of days before a release). I want to make onefile=FALSE work on postscript() (it needs to start a file for each page, and give it a EPSF-3.0 header), and to allow user-specified paper sizes and the option of not centring on the page. Oh, and I do know it is gswin32c on Windows: that is easy to incorporate but I have not tested it. One could attempt to retrieve height and width from the current device, but I don't see that information is presently available from R code.

After trying numerous options, I'm just about at my wits end. The most frequent suggestion was to export to a postscript or PDF file and import that into Word. However, no matter what I did or how I did it, the results were extraordinarily ugly and somewhat time-consuming. What I've tried so far: 1. Copy and paste from the R graphics output window into Word (in Mac OS X), this is
