similar to: Using system fonts in MacOS

Hi, I'm new to R. I'm using a Mac OS X 10.5 and R 2.7.0. I'm trying to change the font family for a plot in a quartz device. Simply passing the desired font by using the family argument works with other devices, but not with quartz. Am I missing anything? I've already checked the docs for quartz and quartzFonts, but didn't find a solution. Any help much appreciated.

Dear all, I have invested substantial amount of work in a complicated, yet on screen perfect looking graph that uses image(). Unfortunately saving it as pdf (or quartz.save at high resolution) all generate very disturbing border lines around each small rectangle that image() has drawn. While using Preview it helps to turn off antialiasing to make those faint lines disappear on screen

Many Japanese were troubled with the setting of the font. I added the following to .Rprofile first. setHook(packageEvent("grDevices", "onLoad"), function(...){ grDevices::quartzFonts(sans=grDevices::quartzFont( c("Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro W3", "Hiragino Kaku Gothic

I am currently submitting final copies of graphics to a journal for publication and they are asking that the fonts used in the plots are times new roman and 10 pt. I set the font size when I call the graphics device and in the par statement to 10. However, when I create a plot, the tick labels and axis labels are not 10 pts. I know I can use the cex commands to scale the fonts, but is there a

I'm trying to label axes using 'expression', but I would also like to change the font to Times New Roman (a requirement of the journal). I'd appreciate any advice. Here's one example of several things that I've tried, including changes to par() parameters 'family', 'font', 'font.axis', and 'font.lab', which are not shown below. x <- 1:10

I am (desperately) trying to get used to using a Mac here at my new location. (Why *anyone* would ever use anything other than Linux, except under duress as I am, totally escapes me, but that's another story.) Fortunately much of the Mac OSX is actually Unix, so a civilized person can manage to carry on ... But there are some things. (Like this <expletive deleted> mailer ... But

I am constructing an 8x12 matrix of scatterplots each containing approx 600 points. In order to get them in the window I remove the

I sent this privately to ivo welch yesterday, and he thinks it might be useful to someone else as well. Since I'm on a Mac the screen device is quartz(): > quartz() > plot( c(0,1), c(0,1) ); > text( 0.5, 0.5, "\u2113" ) # and then File/Save As/ -- David.

I noticed some undocumented and inconsistent behavior in device_Raster when a plot is produced with reflected axes such as: image(volcano, xlim = c(1,0), useRaster = TRUE) image(volcano, ylim = c(1,0), useRaster = TRUE) The `pdf` device will perform horizontal and vertical reflections, while `quartz` will ignore the transformations when plotting to the screen, but when plotting to a

Dear all, I know that it is a know issue, but I would like to change the type of font on my plot, and I am not sure the rigth way. I would like to use Times New Roman font, but according to the "par()" help, some device allow we choose an family of fonts. I tryed par(family="times") without success. Surfing on R archieve I got an suggestion of use par(font.lab=6), but when I

Hi, I want to create a data frame including a column containing some special characters, like "ø". when I print that data frame out, the content change to <U+00F8>, and when save the data frame to a txt file, the content keep in that style, but I need it in its original form, anybody can explain? > x <- data.frame(part = c("målløs", "ny")) > x

I've just tested Unreal Media Server with Wine 1.1.8, and found some improvements. It now doesn't drop a connection immediately, but dies after trying to stream some data: The following errors occur when I try to connect and watch MediaRoot/test.avi: fixme:quartz:AVISplitter_first_request Created stream 0 thread 0x0000005a fixme:quartz:AVISplitter_first_request Created stream 1 thread

Hi All. I am getting a rather odd error using R 2.2.0 on Suse Linux 10. I write R scripts in the text editor Kate and then execute them using e.g >source ("timecourse_il4.r") in R. I have been moving these scripts between a linux box and a Mac and for that reason have a line quartz(display="", width=7, height=7)# set quartz graphics window size for linux change this to

Dear All I am using the histogram() function to plot two subsets from my data on the same output display, i.e. there are two histogram plots My code is: histogram( ~ Age | Date, layout = c(1, 2), xlab = "Age (years)", strip = FALSE, strip.left = TRUE, col = "black", border = "white", cex.axis = 1.1, family = "serif", cex.lab =

I ran this script in a source file on my Mac: library(lattice) year <- 1900:2000 dollars <- (year-1899)^2 plot(year,dollars) quartz("year") histogram(~dollars) The first plot appears in Quartz 2. The second quartz window, named year, opens but the histogram doesn't appear. However, when I copy and paste this script directly into the R console, both quartz windows (Quartz 2

Hello List, I am teaching a basic course where students are encouraged to use R. There are a few students using Mac OS X. As a test we downloaded and installed the latest .dmg file (R-2.6.1.dmg) onto a intel Mac running 10.5.1. A device query yields > getOption("device") "quartz" But any plot command does not bring up a plot (e.g. plot(), boxplot(), hist()). I found a

Hi, In the FAQ for Mac http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/RMacOSX-FAQ.html there is 7.2 Saving the image You can can (???) the content of the quartz device window into a PDF file. This is not explained! This is a very simple way to export high quality graphics from R into other applications on Mac OS X graphics is PDF based (so are almost all applications available). However, this process

I've rolled up R-2.0.0.tar.gz a short while ago. This is a new version with a number of new features. See below for the details. As was the case with R 1.0.0, this new version represents a coming of age more than a radical change to R. We do plan to celebrate the new major version with press releases and such.
