similar to: Sweave vignettes and bitmap on windows

Dear all, A few weeks ago I asked about X11() availability using CGI-perl. The general advice was to use bitmap which requires ghostscript (Xvnc and Xvbf were the other alternatives). My system administrator got around to installing Aladin Ghostscript 6.0 and the setting the R_GSCMD environment variable. Other system specification is given below. But now I have a new problem that says that font

gday R friends, Since I had random errors with ghostscript 6.01 I thought I'd upgrade. After upgrading to gs6.5 I've had problems. Originally, gs failed complaining about lack of "__sysconf" in glibc2.2 so I upgraded glibc. Now I get this. Note that it used to work with gs6.01. I realise this is probably a ghostscript problem but you never know... thanks, John Strumila >

The example in the help file for pdf() plots the characters outside the plotting area in this for loop: for(i in c(32:255)) { x <- i y <- i points(x, y, pch=i) } The following loop seems to be working as intended for(i in c(32:255)) { x <- (i-31)%%16 y <- (i-31)%/%16 points(x, y, pch=i) } As an extra

Background: OS: Linux Ubuntu Dapper R : Version 2.3.1 (2006-06-01) Emacs 21.4.1 ESS Colleagues This is neither a bug report, nor a complaint, so I think this is the appropriate list. I am getting an odd font problem with a pdf generated using pdf(file = "../figures/PCNM.models.larvae.fluor.zoo.stability.2001.and.2002.pdf", title="", family="serif",

hello all, when trying to produce a plot with the following code postscript("g6-5000-0705-b.ps") par(mfrow=c(4,1)) for (i in 1:4) { somc<-cumsum(betaC[,i])/c(1:N) plot(somc,ylim=c(min(somc),max(somc))); } dev.off() I get a postscript file g6-5000-0705-b.ps, but if I try to open it with ghostscript, or to convert it to pdf, I get the following error : Error: /invalidfont in

I am finding on all my CentOS 5.8 systems (all fully updated but a variety of package mixes) that the display or convert commands from ImageMagick are unable to handle eps files. I get error output as follows, curious if anyone else sees this $ convert rna.eps rna.epi convert rna.eps rna.epi Error: /undefinedfilename in (72x72) Operand stack: Execution stack: %interp_exit .runexec2

Hello. I'm writing some simple text using sweave, and faced a strange problem with eps files produced for my plots (one example attached). Individual eps files are interpreted by ghostscript just fine, and show up without errors. But once I try to include them into main LaTeX/Sweave document (using regular \includegraphics, produced by Sweave), ghostscript gives me this error on those files:

Just tried to run a perl script to do some ripping and converting of a postscript file, and ghostscript bombed out with the error message below. Can someone tell me is this really a ghostscript error, or is there more to it than this? If need be, I can attach the perl script that caused the error, but I think it is OK. Don't have another machine to test it on. Oh yeah, FWIW, this is an

Hello, I'm currently using R-0.65.0 with --gnome option in configure on IRIX64 and Debian GNU/Linux. I found a problem in generated postscript file which has following sequence: x <- 1:30 postscript("output.ps") par(mfg=c(1,1,2,2)) plot(x,sin(x)) plot(x,sin(x)) plot(x,sin(x)) plot(x,sin(x)) dev.off() The generated postscript file "output.ps" can't

Ever since I updated to 5.3, I have been unable to convert any ps files to pdfs using the ps2pdf command. I usually get errors like this: [mhr at mhrichter forms]$ ps2pdf doe81008 ERROR: /undefinedfilename in (doe81008) Operand stack: Execution stack: %interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval--

Hello, I''m having a problem with HTMLdoc and rails. I''ve set it up as per http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoGeneratePDFs and I''m using windows and version 1.8.24. I can make ps files without a problem and I can make pdfs using the stand alone app, however I can''t get the pdf created in RoR to work. Loading it into gsviewer I get the error

Hello all! I'm a newcomer to R, so please bear with me. My problem is the following: I'm trying to use R to do some geostatistics stuff (mostly kriging), and am having trouble printing a multiple figure. When I create a single figure (one image/contour command), it works fine. The instant I try to create a multiple figure file, I start getting postscript errors. I'm using the

Hello, I wonder if anybody has encountered this problem? While MiKTeX/yap/Ghostscript seems to work fine on most TeX files that I have tested (including a great deal of postscript graphics), there is one file where the graphics works ok for all postscript files except one, the only one that is generated by R. I get an error "Some postscript specials could not be rendered", and the

Everyone, It looks like pdfmerge is broken after the recent upgrade of gs to ghostscript-8.70-6.el5_7.6.x86_64. Has anyone else had this problem. I have just started trying to debug it. If any of you already have solutions please let me know. Thanks, Greg Ennis

To the plot experts: when creating a plot containing different lines, each with a special line type, it may happen that the result of 'postscript()' is not readable by ghostview (which may not be an R error, thus not bug report ;-). This is the case when mixing lty as 0:6 and character or even when using lty as character only. Example: postscript("test.ps") plot(1:10,

This may not be considered a bug but it is an incompatibility with S. There was a convention in S that the graphics parameter setting lwd = 0 is supposed to use the minimum possible line width on the device. It is not clear what that means on modern graphics devices but there is still code (like mine) that assumes something sensible happens with lwd = 0 It seems that R's postscript

Dear R-helpers, with R-0.99a, Linux, Red-Hat 6.1 derivat (Halloween Linux) I have the following Problem with this code: graphics.off() close.screen(all=T) temp <- matrix(c(0 , 1 , .4 , 1, 0 , 1 , 0 ,.4), ncol= 4, byrow=T ) split.screen(temp) plot(1:100)

I've been trying to set up incoming faxes using spandsp with a HFC card. Unfortunately, incoming faxes are of very poor quality, the pages are not transferred wholly (sometimes only a bit of a page is transferred etc.). From what I've read, I may have troubles with correct "timing" (and need to set up ztdummy etc.). On the other hand, it is impossible to set ztdummy if one

Hello, To fix some issues in working with gs 8.63 I had to upgrade to 8.64. I build the rpm from ghostscript-8.64-9.fc11.src.rpm.
