Dear R users, I would like to use sub- and super-script in axis labels. I assume this is best done using Hershey symbols. When trying to find information on using Hershey font symbols in axis labels, I came across the following discussion thread: http://maths.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/02a/1857.html Have Hershey font implementations moved on since then? Thanks, Sander. -- ----------------------...

Hello! The question is simple: What is the escape sequence for a new line when using Hershey fonts? I obviously tried '\n' but it didn't work (see the sample below). I looked at 'demo(Hershey)' but all it only shows escape sequences for printable characters. The sample I've been using to try to find the escape sequence is below. You can comment or un-comment...

Hi, I'd like to know if it is possible to use Hershey vector fonts to create very primitive musical notation. If I can hang some whole notes on these lines X11() plot(0,0, xlim=c(0,10), ylim=c(0,10)) # Staves: for (i in c(seq(from=2,to=2.8,by=0.2),seq(from=4,to=4.8,by=0.2))) { abline(h=i) } it is enough.

Hello R users, I am new to R, so this may be a very stupid question. I need to subscript the dotted circle (Hershey escape sequence "\\SO") to a string. I tried using text(.5,.5,substitute( R[disk] == 5 R["\\SO"] ) ) but it turns out to be a syntax error. Do you have any suggestion? Thanks Gaetano

I wonder if we couldn't just use the PNG , SVG, support from the GNU plotutils from which we already have the Hershey scalable vector fonts [-> help(Hershey)] The new plotutils (July 2000) do support these (and will probably even better in the future, i.e., we can build on others people free software. Paul [who built "Hershey" into R], do you think this path is worth pursuing? >From http://www.g...

Dear R experts- I'm running R 1.2.3 (2001-04-26) on Linux. I need to get special symbols, such as a circle with a dot in it as used to indicate Solar units in astronomy, into my plot axis labels. How can I do this? Using the R documentation on the Hershey font sets, one can plot a Solar symbol within the world coordinates of a plot like this: >plot(1:10,1:10) >text(4,8,"\\SO",vfont=c("serif","plain")) That works fine; however, trying to get the symbol into a plot label with a call like this: >plot(Bin...

...lus, if I wanted to use Bookman-Demi instead of the default Helvetica, I would specify font = 18 as a graphical parameter for a postscript printer. In R it seems font can take only the values 1 to 4 which change only the style but it's still Helvetica. There's some great flexibility using Hershey vector fonts, but it appears they are all mono-spaced. I wish to use proportional spacing, with subscripts and Hershey vector fonts. Is that possible? The help for text() or par() does not make it clear to me. Other ideas greatly appreciated. Thanks -- *************************************...

...ical) output in Windows and just graphical output in Linux. I guess it is possible but I did not find the way. How can I use the fonts (*.afm) and the (presumably) encondings (*.enc) in R/rw1081/afm? How do I know what are the real font names. Are those only the ones listed in the man page for Hershey? Thanks, Miha

Hey, Does anyone know of an equivalent to the LaTeX \perp (perpendicular) symbol for adding to R plots? Parallel is easy enough ("||"), but I haven't been able to find a way of adding perpendicular. The plotmath documentation doesn't mention how to do it, so I'm inclined to think that it doesn't exist - but surely there must be some way of achieving the desired result,

Hello, I'd like to add labels to my plot that include a male or female symbol as subscript. I'm working in Windows Vista and R 3.0.0. I am able to add the male symbol to the plot as regular text (NOT as subscript), e.g. with: mtext("Male\u2642") This displays the word "Male" followed by the male symbol on the plot. But "\u2642" does not work when I try to

...fault R font, Helvetica, with a fontfamily that looks like Courier, which significantly changes the physical length of each character string and disrupts the spacing and justification of titles, captions, and axis labels. The way I solved this problem is: 1. When you execute a graph in R, use the Hershey family of fonts. I particulary like HersheySans. You can specify the fontfamily for axes and strips and titles as shown in the example below. 2. Export the file in eps by right-clicking the on-screen display and selecting 'save as postscript'. 3. Place the file in InDesign using the usu...

dear R wizards: is it possible to use a postscript font symbol as a plot symbol? in particular, I want to use the four postscript symbols for playing cards (club, heart, spade, diamond) as points. In LaTeX, these four are \Pisymbol{psy}{"A7} \Pisymbol{psy}{"A8} \Pisymbol{psy}{"A9} \Pisymbol{psy}{"A10} and what I would love to do is place them, at say, (x=1,y=1),

Second problem, I find that the text quality when I export to a PNG file is pretty bad...not good enough for publication. I thought that I might be able to get HErshey fonts to improve this...but can't get them to work. Final question: I cannot get R to swallow the addition of a font.lab(xxx,xxx) statement in the boxplot function......how do I get it to use Sans Serif, and produce high quality output? How do I use the font.lab command and the related...
