Ah, I'm using Exceed Hummingbird 7.1 as the X server.... It does have fixed width fonts, and it is happy with variable width fonts up to this extreme .... A little more fiddling shows that this succeds with a linux based X11 server, and that even plot(1,1) par(family="mono",cex=8) text(1,1,"foo") segfaults. I've tested values of cex. Anything above 2.1249

Unfortunately, I haven't found any way to select fixed-width fonts, so I convert the character vector into a matrix of individual characters

I have many functions for high-level plotting that early on in their code do something like strwidth('string', units='inches') before plotting. I do this before plot() to set the correct margins with par(mai=...), to leave room for wide text on the left or right margins. If the plotting device is not opened strwidth( ) causes an error that plot.new() needs to be called. I can

Dear all, the help of par() claims that cin and cra are c(width, height) but it appears to be rather c(height, width) Best regards Jens Oehlschl?gel > plot.new() > strheight("W", unit="inches") [1] 0.1354167 > par("cin") [1] 0.1354167 0.1875000 > version _ platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch i386 os mingw32

Hi, This is not a bug, but an enhancement suggestion. "strwidth" only gives the width of the text according to the x-axis user coordinates, and similarly for "strheight". Even if the par setting "srt" is changed to rotate the text, the resulting width (resp. height) is in terms of the non-rotated text. Currently, if I want to know how much space to leave for

It's probably a beginner's question: How do I show text in boxes? That is, can I specify a background color for text output with text() ? The following doesn't work as I would expect: text(labels="123", 50, 0.5, bg="green") I've experimented with legend(),which will make the box too wide, and also with rect(), which doesn't know the extent of the text

Hi all, I am have some difficulty with the legend function. I need to add a legend to describe the different line types in a plot. The legend box is small. It did not include sufficient length of each line type to help distinguish the differnt line types. Is there a way to fix this. Thank you Hannah [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

My mistake, but also a bug. I did not open a device and called strheight("X"). ==> R crashed ...\rgui --vanilla [...] > strwidth("X") Error in strwidth("X") : plot.new has not been called yet (OK.) > strheight("X") R crashed.

R 2.4.1 on Windows XP. Question: In traditional graphics, is it possible to find out the height of a line of text in units that can be used in arithmetic and then in calls to text()? Context: I have written a function that draws a plot and then, depending on whether some arguments are TRUE or FALSE, draws various lines of text in the plot. The text lines may be turned on or off individually

I am trying to automate a report that my company does every couple of years for the state of Maine. In the past we have used SPSS to run the data and then used complicated Excel template to make the tables/graphics which we then imported into Word. Since there are 256 tables/graphics for this report, this work flow is a little painful. I would like to automate the process and I think I can do

I do not know the precise language to describe the situation. But here it is what I want to do. I need to annotate a graph that contains two or more curves with labels that contain math symbols. The label must go on top of the curve. The problem is that when I annotate the plot, I can see the curve behind the label. Here it is an example using a simple straight line. x<-c(0,1)
