similar to: PDF graphics -- color weirdness (PR#2281)

Dear Prof. Ripley, thks for your response and no, I have not looked at 2.0.0 beta version; blame on me, but I could not spare time by now for doing so; instead I looked at: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/fullrefman.pdf as well as on my local one in: 'rw1091/doc/manual/refman.pdf'. Hopefully this clarified things; thks for taking your time and patience. Best, Bernhard >

I am checking a package with R CMD check and everything is fine until the pdf portion of the checking process and the errors documented at the end of this message happen. I have looked at the pdf that is created and the typesetting is not perfect, but it is acceptable (readable). I am no good at latex (something I plan to remedy in the next large paper I have to write), so is this acceptable for

I have just tried out a series of apps on Wine Linux Slackware 8.0 on one side, Win98 on the other. Most fail. Here is a list: Cindex (indexing program) SKY index (indexing program) Framemaker (typesetting program) Quark Xpress (typesetting program.) Let me take the last item as a simple example. I get a long list of messages as follows: --------------------------------------------------------

Consider the following example : data(iris) attach(iris) par(bg = 'midnightblue', fg = 'yellow') plot(Petal.Length, Petal.Width, main = "Fisher's iris data", sub = "3 kinds") ##>>> gives black axis labels and titles ... ## Currently, the plot I want is produced by par(bg = 'midnightblue', fg = 'yellow', col.axis='yellow',

Hello R-folks, I don't get the color of the legend in a lattice-plot right. I select a palette from RColorBrewer and use (with a col = mypalette argument) it in the barchart plot. The resulting graph shows the new palette in the graph, but uses the standard palette in the legend rectangles. Adding a col argument into auto.key uses the new palette with the legend text, but not in the

There appears to be a bug in the R xfig() driver. When I run a simple example, eg > data(InsectSprays) > boxplot(count ~ spray, data = InsectSprays, col = "lightgray") the boxplot is fine. Doing the same thing after > xfig(file='test.fig') and then opening in Xfig (ver3.2 patchlevel 2) on my Linux box produces boxplots where the boxes, although correctly shaded in,

Charles, Greg, the problem is that Apple's FreeType on Leopard uses CF calls (albeit just to get files), so it breaks on fork. (The message is moot, because the whole point of using fork is to *not* use exec). In any case the solution is to compile your own version of freetype, fontconfig and cairo without any CF or Carbon API. Fortunately most recent versions of FreeType will do so

Hoping this is not off topic... I am in the process of writing some tutorials for my students for learning R, and naturally I'm using Sweave for this. So suddenly a question occurred to me: LaTeX has a recommended way of typesetting the TeX and LaTeX symbols, via the \TeX and \LaTeX commands. Is there a similar command for the R symbol, or in general are there any

I have successfully installed and launched Sibelius (music typesetting software) on linux (with codeweavers preview 4, w/ a fake_windows install). It works fairly well, and would probably deserve a 4 on the app database. Except for the fonts, which kind of defies the purpose of a typesetting software! Here are the symptoms and some log activities : * No musical symbols are displayed (except

Hello Because I want to use different true type fonts with latex, I''m using the XeTeX typesetting engine for my sweave-documents. I''m using Lyx with Sweave on a Windows 7 PC and have set up LyX to work with XeTeX according to the following instructions: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/XeTeX Because the input file for XeTeX is assumed to be in UTF-8 encoding, I set the encoding

Dear List, I'm trying to typeset some chemical ions in axis labels. These have both super and subscript components, and for some, I need a superscript "-". In LaTeX I might use $NO_3^-$ to do the typesetting, but I'm having a problem getting the correct invocation for expression: > expression(NO^{-}[3]) Error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in

Hola! I ask here since I learnt from this list that the LaTeX package listings should be good for typesetting R code. I encountered one problem: \begin{lstlisting} X %*% V \end{lstlisting} in the output the * in %*% disappears! same with %/%, etc, the / disappears. Any ideas? Kjetil -- Kjetil Halvorsen. Peace is the most effective weapon of mass construction. --

Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to insert LaTeX typesetting in R output. I want to obtain a graph with LaTeX label in order to incorporate it as postscript or pdf, x<-seq(0,1,length=100) y<-x*x plot(x,y,xlab="$X$",ylab="$X^2$")

Yes. pty is another, for example. > I think that in fact "mfg" is only meant to be queried. No. One use for setting mfg is to produce a page of plots in portrait orientation with, say, two small plots on the top half of the page

Others have commented on the usefulness of adding an explicit list of what should be included in the kernel. I second that. There''s another thing that''s tripped me up: While iproute2 compiles and installs easily (on a Red Hat 6.1 box), the documentation is in a format that - while not obscure to old Unix hands - requires compilation, which requires: "To make documentation,

Hi, I am typesetting R code in TeX using the listings package. I have experimented with various settings for the text, but all look a bit ugly. This might be because I have no typographic experience ;-) I would really appreciate if people sent me the settings they use for the listings package (eg in the \usepackage line, or \lstset, I am thinking about choices for basicstyle, ... etc). I

R-users, I would like to take advantage of R's mathematical typesetting capabilities in the graphical environment using text(..., expression(...)), however, I can't figure out how to include in the expression some evaluated function. For example, > x <- 1:8 > plot(1:10, 1:10) > text(5, 5, expression(sum(x[i], i == 1, length(x))) # would like "8"

R-devel doc/NEWS.Rd (SVN 57472) contains: \item There are two new options for typesetting PDF manuals from Rd files. These are \samp{beramono} and \samp{inconsolata}, and used the named font for mononspaced output. They are intended to be used in combination with \samp{times}, and \samp{times,inconsolata,hyper} is now the default for the reference manual and
