Hi all I am doing some stats work for a group of biologists who require windows metafiles (*.wmf) for their publications. To create these, I appear to have two choices: 1. Restart my machine in Windows and use savePlot 2. Keep my machine in linux, save as another format, then convert. I'd rather stay in linux; but how do I get wmf files? I looked at using ImageMagick's conve...

Hello R-Help, I've got a bit of an issue with WMF's. I am working on WindowsXP and outputting WMF format images. I then take the WMF format images and insert them in PowerPoint. I take the PowerPoint and convert it to PDF. The WMFs are nothing special. Just the typical x-y plot with a gray dotted grid added and a few matlines. The W...

A few of you have helpfully sent me references to WMF formats. There is also some code to _read_ it at http://www.csn.ul.ie/~caolan/docs/libwmf.html However, the issue is to _write_ WMF on R under Unix. I am told (by someone who has tried) that the problem is the if you write a WMF file according to the published specs (which were once issued by Mi...

Hi, I recently read about that Wine is vulnerable against the WMF bug that was recently closed on Windows. Is it really true? Is Wine really as bug-for-bug compatible with Windows? :-) http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/01/06/2043203&from=rss http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/index.php?p=146 Best regards, Zolt?n B?sz?rm?nyi

This problem was posted a couple years ago here: http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/04/01/0231.html Using Windows XP with R 2.3.1, I am now experiencing the same problem again: when a plot is saved and/or copied as a WMF, the labels do not have the correct character spacing. I am trying to insert the WMF into a MS Word 2003 document (my first mistake, I know), but even when the WMF is opened with other graphics software, the problem remains. Must be something with the way the WMF is written. The strange this is...

...The process is as follows: # Simplest example code that contains all the sample features that create the problem library(lattice) test <- expand.grid(type = paste('Type', 1:4), success = c('Yes','No')) test$result <- exp(rnorm(nrow(test))) win.metafile('u:\\test.wmf') dotplot( success ~ result | type, data = test, panel = function(...) { panel.xyplot(...) panel.abline(v = 0, lty = 2) }, xlim = c(-10, 10) ) dev.off() This is then imported into Word 2008 (running on XP Pro 2002 with service pack 2) using the import picture tool. The resulting fi...

Hi R users, I'm working on a autoreporting with the batch mode of R: I would like to save the graphs produced in wmf or emf. the problem is, it's working well with the R gui because we print on the screen the graph devices but not with the batch. I have used the function dev.print after encounter problem with win.metafile. Thanks Guillaume [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi all I posted a couple of days ago about how to end up with wmf files eventually in R for linux. The short answer was: you (probably) can't...and don't! The journal in question also accepts TIFF files, I am told (it's a physiology journal). So I adjust my question: What is the best way to get TIFF files out of R? It can't create them direc...

Hi, Is there no function in R similar to jpeg(...) or postscript(...) for windows meta files? The function savePlot(...) is not really what I need. I'd like to save the plot on my disk without open a new plot window. And I don't want to save it on my disk and convert it from a *.* to .wmf (there are too many). Thanks for any help Thomas

Hello, When I use savePlot(filename="xy",type="eps") or savePlot(filename="xy",type="wmf") , I get the following error: Error in grid.Call("L_textBounds", as.graphicsAnnot(x$label), x$x, x$y, : Polygon edge not found (zero-width or zero-height?) This doesn't occur when I change the type to "jpeg" or "bmp". Can anyone explain what is going...

There are rumors [1] about Wine suffering from the same WMF vulnerability [2] recently discovered and fixed in Windows systems. By looking at recent commits, I understand this is probably fixed in CVS, but does anyone have more information? 1) Is a Microsoft-free system theoretically vulnerable? If I use Wine on GNU/Linux (no native Windows DLLs) to run a...

libEMF (http://sourceforge.net/projects/libemf/) looks like it may be the solution to generating WMF/EMF files on Unix. It's a general-purpose (LGPL) library that implements the EMF API ... (I was originally going to write to the list to ask why small circles appear to be filled (in src/gnuwin32/graphapp/gdraw.c) by generating a series of rectangles rather than using some kind of "fil...

Hi There, I have created the following function format<- function(){ repeat { form<-readline(paste("\nIn what format do you want to save these plots?\nChoose from: wmf, emf, png, jpg, jpeg, bmp, tif, tiff, ps, eps, or pdf.\nNote: eps is the suggested format for publication quality plots.\nPlot format --> ")); cat("\nI'm sorry, I don't know what that format is.\nPlease try again\nPress ENTER...");readline()} if (form == c("wmf&quot...

...egin included message ------ Unfortunately, after placed in the PowerPoint and the PowerPoint is converted to PDF via MS Office's built in conversion utility, the resulting image have diagonal streaks across them from the y-axis down to the x-axis. The rest of the document is perfect, but the WMF images now have streaks across them. It looks like it may be caused, somehow, by the dotted grid.

...e C code is missing a test for a non-NULL pointer. What is unclear is why the metafile cannot be created. Although we have called CloseEnhMetafile and DeleteEnhMetafile, it seems Windows is still locking the file it opened.

gday R friends, I was wondering if anyone could help me with some graphics issues please. I'm processing R in batch on redhat6.2 with some graphics to be imported into msword on NT. For scaling within my doco I want some vector type graphics. win.metafile doesn't seem to be supported on redhat which gives me postscript. postscript is ideal but doesn't contain a preview so I

Dear R-helpers, I recently upgraded to R 1.9.0 in my computer at work and at home: 1.-The computer at home has Windows XP and Office XP and it seems to work perfectly and I copy-paste graphics perfectly. 2.-The computer at work has Microsoft Windows 2000 (5.00.2195 Service Pack 2) and Word 2000 (9.0.4402 SR-1) I cannot copy-paste windows metafiles into Office applications in my computer at
