Yes, par(family="mono") would work, except that I get R segfaults from this sequence: > > plot.new() > par(family="mono") > par(cex=8) > strheight("foo") Process R segmentation fault (core dumped) at Mon Dec 20 16:07:56 2004 on R 2.0.1 (2004-11-15), Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 In my code I call strheight and strwidth several times in

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

Release 1.11.2 of the gregmisc() package of functions is now available on CRAN at http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Descriptions/gregmisc.html for both Unix and Windows systems. The most notable enhancement provided by this release is: - read.xls(), a function to read Microsoft Excel files by translating them to csv files via the xls2csv.pl script has been added. I've also provided

Dear All, I would like to plot text with a box around it. I used strwidth and strheight to compute the size of the box which is plotted with rect: z <- rnorm(10) # horizontal text works plot(rnorm(10)) x1 <- 5 y1 <- 0 label <- "Label" cha <- paste(" ", label, " ", sep = "") xh <- strwidth(cha, cex = par("cex")) yh <-

If these things bother you, could you please supply fixes? For some reason you omitted the part of the help page dealing with one of these (which is as documented), and I also think you are confusing `plot' and `device' sizes. The latter will be the displayed device surface, I believe. Nothing on the help page suggested that the fine details of the R read-only parameters will be as you

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. (Happens also on Solaris.) Regards, Uwe Ligges --please do not edit the information below-- Version: platform =

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

Core developers, I couldn't find any simple way to send a vector of colors to apply to each terminal in plot.dendrogram() or plot.hclust()---I asked R-help about it a few weeks ago and didn't get any response---so I hacked that functionality into the plot.dendrgram code (see below for hacked function plus examples).... Is there any chance this functionality could be added to the

I found it useful to have contour be able to do line widths ... hope that the guts haven't changed an enormous amount in the current development version ... the patches are relatively trivial, mostly going by analogy with lty and col (although in my ignorance it took me a while to figure out what UNPROTECT(2) was and why it should be changed to UNPROTECT(3) ... hope this is useful.
