Hi, in help("R_GSCMD") it says "R_GSCMD: Optional. The path to Ghostscript, used by dev2bitmap, bitmap and embedFonts. Consulted when those functions are invoked.". However, if 'R_GSCMD' contains a full pathname to the Ghostscript executable (as above "path" indicates), e.g. > Sys....

I have R installed on a windows box, and I need to get a better resolution. I understand I need to set R_GSCMD. Which file has to contain this variable? Thanks! Haim

The help file of the R bitmap function says that I have to set the environment variable R_GSCMD to the path of my Ghostscript installation. How do I set this variable (either by commandline or in R.app for Mac)? Sorry if this sounds like a very basic question, but I could not find the answer anywhere else. Many thanks Andreas -- -------------------------- Andreas Zankl, MD Division of...

Dear all, A few weeks ago I asked about X11() availability using CGI-perl. The general advice was to use bitmap which requires ghostscript (Xvnc and Xvbf were the other alternatives). My system administrator got around to installing Aladin Ghostscript 6.0 and the setting the R_GSCMD environment variable. Other system specification is given below. But now I have a new problem that says that font is invalid and this is not even through the CGI-perl web mode. As per the 'Family' section of postscript I tried experimenting with the various options given but with the same...

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...

I have gs 6.51 installed & R_GSCMD=/usr/bin/gs set. generating Rplot.ps; pstoimg -antialias (or pstopnm) would also be an acceptable solution if I knew how to control the size of the generated image, or if the ps generated by R was consistently compatible with pstopnm. (ps2ps causes me to lose parts of the image).. So I am as...

...rough the filename issue (which is probably an GhostScript, not R, issue. But interestingly, when GIMP is using GhostScript to render eps files, there aren’t problems with the files or directories names!?!). GIMP 2.6.7 uses the GS_PROG environmental variable, which leads to the same exe file of the R_GSCMD variable (gswin32c.exe) Thank you for your attention, I hope you may help me.

...I've been struggling for a while trying 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.
