similar to: Postscript device ignores title if it is too long. (PR#565)

Documentation and other bugs with postscript(): 1. This code crashes R (it asks for a font that isn't there): postscript() plot(0:1,0:1) text(0.5,0.5,'crash',font=6) The bug appears to be in the FixupFont routine in plot.c; on line 236, it checks that the font number is in the range 1..32. Later this crashes PostScriptStringWidth in devPS.c, because only fonts numbered 1..5

Hi, I have a query about the maximum length of vector that can be plotted in one go in a postscript driver. Try the following code (in 1.7.0; version details below): t <- seq(from=0, to=4*pi, length=200000) y <- sin(t) postscript(file="o.ps") plot(t, y, type="l") dev.off() If I view the postscript file o.ps in "gv", it takes many seconds before eventually

Hi, I have a problem with the Postscript mechanism of R: If I save figures in landscape format and try to insert them into a LaTeX document, I always have to swap the dimensions of the bounding box in line 9 of the Postscript file. Is there any reason why we can't simply swap left and bottom as well as right and top in line 435 of devPS.c? Thanks Arne

I've been having a problem when printing plots to a HP DeskJet 2500C printer. This printer, like most inkjet printers, has a large minimum bottom margin. For most HP inkjet printers, the bottom 1/2" (left 1/2" inch for landscape) of the page can't be printed too. The postscript device in R has a default of 1/4" margins between the paper edge and the plotting area. This

Hello, The current xfig device lacks the functionality to set the textspecial flag and use the defaultfont in xfig. This is necessary when you want to export to xfig and use interpreted text (e.g., $ \frac{1}{e}$ gets interpreted by latex). The attached patch adds this functionality. Why would you like to do this? - Use math in labels (e.g., name your variables $r_{xy}$, do a

Hello R Developers, Dear R-developers, I ran some standard tests with currently (today morning) compiled R release candidate in Linux R 2.12.1 RC (2010-12-13 r53843). Some of these tests used plot.TukeyHSD function. This worked OK on the screen (X11 device), but PostScript file could not be rendered. The following example had the problem with me: postscript(file="tukeyplot.ps")

Hi First off, thanks to all the various R developers, your package is very impressive. I'm not sure what the protocols are for contributing, and I've not done this before, so please excuse nay obvious errors or oversights... Also I'm by no means an R,TeX/LaTeX, or typesetting expert, I have largely stumbled my way to this point. Objective: I'd like to get R postscript(...) to

Dear R developers and users, I have a suggestion for the postscript device driver. Now the paer= option only support "a4", "letter", "legal", "executive". I suggest we add a "user" option and letter user provide paper size, even like "595x421", width>height. For printing purpose, the provided paper size are nearly enought. But I

I've been looking at the ellipse package I co-wrote with Ed Chow for S-Plus a few years ago, cleaning up the documentation now it's been ported to R (by Jesus Frias, thanks IOsu!) and I'm back as the maintainer. One of the things it did which we thought was kind of cute at the time was to use a few lines of Postscript code to define a font, where the glyphs were ellipses of various

Hi, I'm trying to get the correct font used when generating italic text in an R grahic. I have a set of labels that print correctly except it seems the italic text is justr a slanted version of the TeX computer modern normal font... I'm using R v1.8.1 on Windows XP, and I get the same result if I build the pdf using Adobe Acrobat or using MikTeX The labels:

Dear list, Tadashi Kadowaki has developed a pdf device package that allows to add hyperlinks and popups to (currently) text, mtext and rect calls. The package passes R CMD check (minor warnings) and compiles on MacOS X and GNU/Linux, but we do not succeed in building the package for Windows. The current version of the package can be checked out as svn checkout

Full_Name: Jussi Jousimo Version: 2.1.1 OS: Linux Submission from: (NULL) (193.167.195.60) R 2.1.1 crashes when it is trying to write a file with the postscript driver to a directory, where the user has no permission to write. For example, postscript("foo.ps") gives an error message: *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x08a469b0 ***. The problem is at the PSDeviceDriver

It would be nice to easily create horizontal PDF files for standard paper sizes. For example: pdf(file, paper="default", horizontal=TRUE) Currently (R 2.2.1) there is no 'horizontal' argument for the PDF driver. It looks like the only way to create a horizontal PDF is to manually specify width and height. For example: pdf(file, width=11, height=8.5) Does this feature look

I discovered a little problem when using the Windows NT release of R 1.0.1, and it's still there in R 1.1.0. The boiled down version is this: I want to draw the following plot and put it into a Postscript file: x <- c(1,2,3,4); y1 <- c(1,2,3,4); y2 <- c(2,2,2,2) Fred <- c(1,2) postscript(file="d:/Bob/Papers/IFM/try2.ps") plot(x,y1, type="l")

Full_Name: Roger Bivand Version: 0.99.0 OS: RH Linux 6.1 Submission from: (NULL) (158.37.60.152) I am working on an interface between R and the GRASS geographical information system, written in R, with no dynamically loaded code. I have written full examples, and tested then under R 0.90.1, both by entering example() for each function and R CMD check, both of which worked without problem. Under

There seems to be an error in the X11 display code: try: plot(c(-30000,-1,0,1,30000),c(30000,1,0,1,30000),type="l") points(c(-30000,-1,0,1,30000),c(30000,1,0,1,30000)) it gives a big "V" as expexted.

I have been trying to use the Computer Modern fonts in postscript output from R, but I have run into a few problems and limitations. I did read and follow the instructions in the documentation. The first problem is that R sometimes needs to use a minus sign in the text in plots, but the non-symbol computer modern fonts contain only a hyphen. There is no way that I can find to tell R to use a
