At first the postscript program couldn't be found. however the problem persisted after the full path the postscript program was indicated. I read earlier post on the subject in vain. See the codes and output below. The file "Senegal...

...for further manipulation using either base graphics or grid. I downloaded the most recent version of Ghostscript from http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/ that I could find (v.8.56) for Mac OSX. However, I am apparently quite ignorant about how the required Ghostscript software works. When I run PostScriptTrace after loading the grImport package, I get this response: > PostScriptTrace("/Users/erinberryman/Documents/data.ps") Error in PostScriptTrace("/Users/erinberryman/Documents/data.ps") : status 256 in running command 'gs -q -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE - sDEVICE=pswrite -sOutput...

...ted 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. Submitting PostScriptTrace("D:/Sndbx/vasarely.ps") gives me the error: Error in PostScriptTrace("D:/Sndbx/vasarely.ps") : status 127 in running command 'gswin32c.exe -q -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pswrite -sOutputFile=C:\Users\Al\AppDat...

Hello, I am trying to import an .eps file created with Adobe Illustrator and plot it in a Quartz window (I am using R 2.11.1 GUI 1.34 Leopard build 32-bit (5589) on MacOSx.5.8). I thought of using the PostScriptTrace() to convert my .eps file to RGML, and then use readPicture to plot the file, but the first step already fails (cf below). I also had a look at the add.image( ) example, which does work on my screen. Ultimately, I would like to plot my picture and let the user click on different parts to r...

Hi, I'd like to fill an existing svg (or png) map with gradient colors. In detail: The file http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Karte_%C3%96sterreich_Bundesl%C3%A4nder.svg should be filled with the population density data from this table: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%96sterreich#Verwaltungsgliederung choosing the right color saturation (or whatever).

I am trying to add a copyright disclaimer outside the plot borders of some images I have created. I can use mtext() to add the written portion, but I would like to have the Creative Commons license image (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cc.logo.circle.svg) before the text. I've found that I can plot a .png image inside the plot boundaries using rasterImage() but I can't figure out how to

Hi everyone I'd like to flip grobs (grid graphical objects) along an axis, e.g. flip grobs horizontally or vertically. I couldn't find any hints, neither in the documentation nor by searching the web. Does anybody know how to achieve this? Cheers /thomas

I'd like to paste a zodiac sign on a graph, but it only prints it when I add another unicode ( \u3030) to the desired \u2648 - why? See the examplecode (compare the orange with the skyblue): plot(c(-1,1),c(-4,-2),type="n") text(x=0,y=-3.0,labels="\u2648 \u3030",cex=2.3,col="skyblue") text(x=0,y=-3.2,labels="\u2648",cex=2.3,col="orange")
