Full_Name: Richard Cotton Version: 2.6.1 OS: Windows XP (32bit) Submission from: (NULL) (193.119.236.82) Using %s in a filename when opening a device causes R to crash, e.g., pdf("foo%s.pdf") win.metafile("foo%s.wmf") postscript("foo%s.ps")

Full_Name: Murray H Smith Version: 1.7.1 OS: Windows2000 Submission from: (NULL) (202.36.29.1) This alleged bug is Windows specific and occurs when using Windows metafile plots. The problem does not occur in a Linux version. It does not occur in the pt rintout when a graphic is saved to a postscript file under Windows. The problem came to light when using plotmath to label a plot with

Hi, Under Windows, I am exporting graphs from R (in metafile -emf- format), and want to combine them using a graphic package. It happens that the background of the graph is represented by a filled rectangle (with the color given by bg=...). This is to be expected. However, I find no options to disable this and produce a graph with transparent background. Does such an option exist? If not, then

I am having trouble getting smooth-appearing curves in figures produced as windows metafiles using R (R-1.1.1 on Windows 98). When I import them into a word processor (either MS Word 97, or WordPerfect 9.0), the figures appear only slightly bumpy on screen, but when printed, there is a clear jaggedness reminiscent of aliasing. Is there a fix for this (if the answer is "upgrade to 1.2",

Hi Folks, I need help with a query about R on Windows, specifically about graphics devices. I'm advising someone remotely (so it's all by email) who is running R on Windows, while I am not (Linux only). Things have reached the stage where saving graphics plots as Windows metafiles is looming. I've been told that the result of "?device" in Windows is as follows (which is

Hi Folks, I see that people have been discussing the win.metafile device on the list since before 2000. Yet I have never seen this on a Linux distribution of R. Is this because the device works by making calls (GPL calls of course!) to a proprietary Windows library? In that case I can understand that it would be far from kosher to implement it on Linux. But I'd like confirmation. I must

Hello, when I try to use the filled circle (pch = 16) in a Windows metafile, it appears highly pixelated rather than as a smooth vector. The other filled circles (pch = 19 and 20) are vector circles, filled with pixels. Results are the same whether I use windows() and save or copy as a metafile, or win.metafile() Also, some of the other symbols are misshapen, e.g. the diamond pch = 23 is not

Hi, how can I save an image as a metafile? I know within windows you can do a right click and then 'save image as metafile' but I use Mac OS X...I know as well that mac users have a right click as well, but it does not work. Is there a command in R for saving images as metafiles? Regards, mentor -- View this message in context:

Hi, Duncan: I just did "plot(1:2)" in Rgui.exe, and that copied fine as a metafile into MS Word via the clipboard. Then I exited and restarted Rterm.exe under ESS and tried it again. This time, I got a blank image copied into MS Word. However, after I modified the Lattice defaults via, "trellis.par.set('background', list('white'));

I agree: It sounds like a bug, as you said, Irk, in that Rgui.exe cannot copy a metafile to the clipboard, at least under MS Windows 2000, 5.00.2195, Service Pack 3, even though Rterm.exe can. Therefore, I'm including "r-bugs@biostat.ku.dk" in the list of addresses to this email. Spencer Graves Irk Eddelbuettel wrote: >On Sun, Jun 06, 2004 at 12:26:45PM -0700,

Dear colleagues: I use R 1.9.0 on Windows XP. One of my common tasks is to get R graphs into Word documents. A open windows() device, almost always trellis.device() for me, provides great convenience with the right-click shortcut menu item "Copy as metafile". I typically have the History > Recording feature turned on as well. Since upgrading to 1.9.0, I have experienced an

Hi All: I'm using win.metafile() to produce windows metafiles. When I use Word to insert the wmf picture, Word gives an error! I did my homework in posting this question, and couldn't find a fix. Any suggestions? Phil Smith CDC

Dear R devel, being constrained to a windows environment at work and having colleagues being accustomed to the Microsoft Office Suite, I was looking for a way to have the RweaveLatex driver for Sweave automatically generating 'win.metafile's in addition to the pdf graphics. Without this functionalilty, the generation of emf-graphics is quite laborious, I think: <<>>= plotit

Hi all, I recently discovered how great win.metafile is for getting high resolution graphics into word. Having problems with specifying families though... #pdf works fine pdf("test.pdf",width=14,height=9) par(family="Helvetica") plot(1:10) text(4,4,"trial") dev.off() windows 2 #metafile doesnt like helvetica family

Platform: Windows 95 Version : R0641 Problem : I wish to plot and save a large number of graphics files in windows metafont format.

Full_Name: Robert Gray Version: 1.4.1 OS: Windows NT 4.0 Submission from: (NULL) (155.52.45.116) I can't seem to get axis tick marks in any color except black (I want to make plots for a slide presentation using a dark background.)
