similar to: Bug in pictex output. (PR#845)

Hi, I am very new to R and trying to bring my plot of residuals to my LaTex document, and seems as I need some help. I first tried the example from the help file, e.g. pictex(file="model1.tex", width=5, height=4) plot(1:11,(-5:5)^2, type='b', main="Simple Example Plot") dev.off() this worked fine in LaTex when I did : \centerline{\input{Rplots.tex}} However, with

I can't get LaTeX to recognize the output from the pictex device driver. Are these commands for some special latex package which I don't know about? ************************************************ * I.White * * ICAPB, University of Edinburgh * * Ashworth Laboratories, West Mains Road * * Edinburgh EH9 3JT

Dear All, I'm trying to draw a TeX histogram with the following pair of commands, pictex(file = "realhisto.tex") hist(Peaklist$V3,xlab="Height $z/\\ut{mm}$",ylab="Probability density $\\phi{}(z-z_0)/(1/\\ut{mm})$") However, in the resulting file realhisto.tex, I get, for example \put {Height \$z/\ut\{mm\}\$} [lB] <0.00pt,0.00pt> at 136.13 9.17 when

Greetings- I've got some plots I'd like to include in a LaTeX document; specifically, I'd like to include them via pictex() so I can edit some of the particulars directly. However, an odd problem is coming up: a diagonal line is drawn from bottom-left to upper-right when using pictex(). This does not happen using X11() or postscript() with the same series of commands. Any ideas why

Dear Bug Team: I encountered a bug when trying to make a barplot with the pictex output device. The following commands demonstrate the bug: ----------------------------------------------- > errors <- c(3.08, 35.38, 33.85, 20.00, 7.69) > errors [1] 3.08 35.38 33.85 20.00 7.69 > pictex() > barplot(errors) Error: Bad units specified in GConvert, please report! >

running pictex() plot(1:11,(-5:5)^2, type='b', main="Simple_Example_Plot") dev.off() (as in the pictex example, but with underscores instead of spaces). the TeX file contains \put {Simple_Example_Plot} [lB] <0.00pt,0.00pt> at 124.00 275.33 the underscores have a special meaning in TeX, so they should be quoted or converted to dashes. -- Sam Steingold

Is the pictex graphics device known not to support color? In R 2.0.1 Patched (2004-11-17), it produced very pretty output: ## pictex(file = "modern-metatheonomy.tex", bg = "transparent"); ## plotData(data); ## dev.off() ... but it appears to have ignored all color information. __________ Steve Rowley <steve.rowley at sanofi-aventis.com> Cambridge, MA: (617) 768-4054

Dear R People, I want to include a barplot corresponding to a simple discrete probability distribution in a LaTeX document. I decided to use the pictex driver. After a certain amount of messing about, I came up the stuff below. It does not look too bad, however, there is one very obvious piece of weirdness, ie. the y axis terminates at 0.1 and does not extend down further. I tried to adjust this

The example at ?pictex does not work (the driver apparently uses 'rotatebox') for me as stated. It did compile after including the graphicsx package. A MWE is at the help page for pictex. I tried to get in touch with Valerio but his email bounced. Probably we want to add a \usepackage{graphicsx} to the help page and try to track down Valerio. Cheers, Kyle This is pdfTeX, Version

Greetings- I'm aware that there's no documentation for pictex available easily (that is, without purchasing it). I'm wondering if someone can help me with a simple task. When generating a plot using pictex() from R, one of the commands I use is mtext("Dimension 2: L=xxxx", side=2, line=3) when using X11(), this appears vertically along the Y axis; when using pictex(), it

Got an error trying to run the PicTeX graphics driver in Version 0.50 Beta (Sept 29, 1997) of R under Windows 95. When I executed pictex() I got the following error message: Error in device("pictex", as.character(c(file, bg, fg)), c(width, height, : unable to start device pictex > It looks like the command exists but not the code to implement it.

Dear R-users It is me again with my interminables questions... This time it is about "pictex". I understood that pictex allows us to put our graph in a latex file I have try the function: > pictex (file=...) and the answer was: "pictex" not found... Does it mean that it is not an R-function yet? Thank you for any feedback. Halima from Leiden

Hi all: I'm trying to create some side by side dynamic graphics on the same page but I am running into some problems. I am able to create side by side figures only if I import them into my PDF. see the example bellow: \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage{color,cite,graphicx}% to put in axodraw \usepackage{latexsym,amssymb,epsf} \begin{document} %Import two figures side by side. Please

[I'm refiling this one due to mailer config messup] I get an error whenever I try to plot a histogram in pictex. The error doesn't occur for X11 or postscript. > x<-c(1,2,3) > pictex() > hist(x) Error: Bad units specified in GConvert, please report! platform i686-unknown-linux arch i686 os linux

dear R users, I got a problem in using the pictex device for graphics. It seems to me that R uses some special commands, because my LaTex (Miktex, latest version) didn?t know the used syntax (e.g. the comand "setcoordinatesystem"). Is there a special .sty-file for the usage of pictex files created by R? If so, where can I receive it? best Karsten --

I'm trying to use the pictex driver for bargraphs, and the shading isn't showing up. Is there any way to get some sort of shading in the plots? A hatch or stipple would be fine, too; just some way to differentiate the bars. The postscript driver won't do, since I'm trying to embed this in a LaTeX document which I'll use pdflatex on and \includegraphics for pdftex doesn't

Hi In the example .Rnw file below, only the newline between c and d is visible in the resulting .tex file after running R CMD Sweave. What is the reason for this behavior? Newlines are important in LaTeX and should be preserved. In particular, this behavior leads to incorrect LaTeX code generated when using tikz(console=TRUE) inside a Sweave chunk, as shown in the tikzDevice vignette. A

Is there an elegant way to get Sweave to center graphics by default? I'd like to use \centerline{\includegraphics{}} etc. to save some vertical space that \begin{center} ... \end{center} uses, and I'd like to avoid centering with each <<fig=T>>= Thanks Frank -- Frank E Harrell Jr Professor and Chair School of Medicine Department of

I'm having a problem with dotted lines (lty = 3) in the pdf output in documents generated with Sweave. In the displayed pdf, the dotted line does not show up and in the printed output, it is there but does not seem to respect the lwd argument, for example, it is very faint despite using lwd = 3. The dotted line is correct in a quartz window and if I save the Quartz window to a pdf and
