G'day all, I am trying to install the cairo package on FreeBSD and receiving an error to do with Makevars - (I'm not very good at this stuff) so here is my various bits of information. I guess this is a problem with a missing library, but I have just been through a lot of grief trying to get png and jpeg to work (they do now work!), so I'm not sure where to go for this. R

Dear R users, i try to produce the fold change versus fold change plot where i have the values for x and y ranging from 0.01 to 100. So i start with plot(x,y,xlim=c(0.01,100),ylim=c(0.01,100), axes=F). Then i would like both axes to have tick marks as c(0.01,0.1,1,10,100) but they should appear equidistant. How should i manage this? Thank you for your help, Alla.

Hello, Sorry if it is not the right place.. I installed R-2.13.0 on a x86_64 linux server.

Full_Name: Craig Ruff Version: 2.7.1 OS: Irix 6.5.30 Submission from: (NULL) (128.117.8.145) Cairo based bitmap graphics output should work if cairo and R have been compiled without xlib support. 2.7.1 gives the "X11 is not available" message in this case when run interactively, and from my reading the png documentation, calling png(filename=..., type="cairo") should work.

Hello, So the Homebrew community dropped support for --with-cairo which is a shame because --without-x --with-cairo is an important combination for any environment that might need to generate graphics without X11 (or related) dependencies (macOS, headless linux servers). This rejected GitHub PR contains more detail: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/24094 (See also these comments:

Hello: I'm running R 2.7.1 in Antix (Mepis kernel but heavily debian based). I have installed libcairo2 (1.6.4-6.1). I tried installing the Cairo package since I'm interested in generating some SVG graphs, and I got the following message: Only partial output (lines with no): .... checking if R was compiled with the RConn patch... no checking cairo.h usability... yes checking cairo.h

Hi, on Windows XP Pro with R version 2.7.1 Patched (2008-06-27 r46012) the 'Cairo' and the 'EBImage' packages does not play well together.

Excuse my asking here than on R-help, but it may be a Fedora question. On Fedora 7, I'm running a fresh R 2.7.1 built from source, usually in en_GB, but also tried in en_GB.UTF8. Running example(plotmath) generates lots of: Pango-WARNING **: shape engine failure, expect ugly output. the offending font is 'Symbol Not-Rotated ...' Setting: x11(type="Xlib") relieves the

On Linux 2.13 by default links cairo, so png() uses it for rendering. One of my users has performance problem, so ask if it possible to temporary disable cairo during png() rendering so it reverts to grGraphics. My workaround for now is to configure R without cairo, but this affects all users that are forced to load and use CairoDevice if they wants better quality. I want to avoid this, is it

Hi All, I just installed Cairo on R 2.5.1 on windows XP. My hope was to get to see the transparency output e.g. http://had.co.nz/ggplot2/stat_smooth.html ggplot2 - stat_smooth , which I finally managed to do. However, I find the Cairo device, which I access either through CairoWin() or Cairo(type="win"), is pretty shaky in a number of respects : - whatever portion of the Cairo

I think I found a bug in the Cairo library, plus weird behavior in both the Cairo and the normal pdf device. The baseline of the spades symbol seems to be off. This is easier to show than it is to explain. The problem does not appear in the normal pdf device, which is why I am guessing this is a Cairo bug. moreover, I cannot figure out why three of the card symbols seem to be transparent, but
