Hello. I'm writing some simple text using sweave, and faced a strange problem with eps files produced for my plots (one example attached). Individual eps files are interpreted by ghostscript just fine, and show up without errors. But once I try to include them into main LaTeX/Sweave document (using regular \includegraphics, produced by Sweave), ghostscript gives me this error on those files:

Deepayan, Paul: Thanks very much for the very useful leads. I just spent some time this afternoon implementing your suggestions and my early test results are very encouraging. Paul, I understand the potential device re-sizing issue with the convert family of functions in grid, and will be in touch in case it becomes problematic for my applications. I very much look forward to your upcoming

I have made a plot with a legend and on the screen it looks fine, but when I save as jpg or pdf, or print, the legend box is too small, it cuts through the words on the right side. I put an example here: http://lark.cc.ukans.edu/~pauljohn/R/apdftest.pdf Is there a work around? -- Paul E. Johnson email: pauljohn at ukans.edu Dept. of Political Science

Hello! I first would like to compliment the authors of grid on what has been a wonderfully useful package for me. Now, my question: Is there any way I can specify the size of some grid.text using grid units? I must label the regions of a plot. The regions can be either very small or very large, so I would like to label each by fitting its text to the size of the region in question. Ideally, I

R users, I have a problem with function strwidth in 2.7.1. I'm trying to set the plot margins in a way that horizontal column labels will fit to the graph. tmp.t is a list of data.frame objects. This code works well in 2.6.0. ...snip.. library(gplots) for (i in names(tmp.t)) { bmp(filename=paste(i, "_", Sys.Date(), ".bmp", sep=""), width=1038,

How can I right justify the right-axis tick values? They appear in the example below as left-justified. I have tried several different ways and all fail in different ways. The example below creates the right axis tick value with no attempt at adjustment. alternates I have tried are 1. formatting the values. This doesn't work because they are in a proportional font and the blanks are too

Dear list, As a minimal test of a more complex grid layout, I'm trying to find a clean and efficient way to arrange text grobs in a rectangular layout. The labels may be expressions, or text with a fontsize different of the default, which means that the cell sizes should probably be calculated using grobWidth() and grobHeight() as opposed to simpler stringWidth() and stringHeight().

Hi, I wanted to generate a plot which is almost like the plot generated by the following codes. category <- paste("Geographical Category", 1:10) grp1 <- rnorm(10, mean=10, sd=10) grp2 <- rnorm(10, mean=20, sd=10) grp3 <- rnorm(10, mean=15, sd=10) grp4 <- rnorm(10, mean=12, sd=10) mydat <- data.frame(category,grp1,grp2,grp3,grp4) dat.m <- melt(mydat) p <-

I've rolled up R-1.9.0.tgz a short while ago. This is a new version with a number of new features, most notably a substantial reorganization of the standard packages, a major update of the grid package, and the fact that underscore can now be used as a regular character in variable names. See below for further changes. Because of the disturbances at the machine that hosted the CVS archives,

Hi all, I have a very high dimensional data and apparently there are several columns that contain similar information (some columns are equal). I want to form a matrix/data frame consisting of unique columns. Does anyone have an efficient way of getting out these columns. A small section of the data frame is given below. Thanks for helping.
