similar to: How to point R toward Ghostscript on a Windows XP system

Hi, using too long pathnames for bitmap() crash R on WinXP. I've verified that this is the case with R version 2.4.1 Patched (2007-03-25 r40958) and R version 2.5.0 alpha (2007-03-30 r40957). I cannot reproduce it on Linux. REPRODUCIBLE EXAMPLE: % Rterm --vanilla # Tell R where Ghostscript is gsexe <- "C:/gs/gs8.54/bin/gswin32c.exe"; gsexe <- "C:/Program

Hi, in help("R_GSCMD") it says "R_GSCMD: Optional. The path to Ghostscript, used by dev2bitmap, bitmap and embedFonts. Consulted when those functions are invoked.". However, if 'R_GSCMD' contains a full pathname to the Ghostscript executable (as above "path" indicates), e.g. > Sys.getenv("R_GSCMD") [1] "C:\\Program

Hi, I've installed several versions of R on a number of Window systems. I get the following error message (which I don't get on linux) > dev2bitmap(file="test.jpeg",type="jpeg") Error in system(paste(gsexe, "-help"), intern = TRUE, invisible = TRUE) : gswin32c.exe not found Any idea how to fix this? It seems common to all windows systems

I am using tools::compactPDF for reducing the size of some pdf-files with GhostScript. I had some trouble in the beginning as the documentation seems not to match the usage of the function. For GhostScript, one has to set the argument gs_cmd, which has the following description: gs_cmd - Character string giving the path to the GhostScript executable, if that is to be used. On Windows this is

Dear List, I am using the bioconductor package Category to do some gene enrichment analysis, and usually save my KEGGmnplot's using a dev2bitmap command. This has worked just fine, until suddenly earlier today I got this error-message: > dev2bitmap("04610_080721.jpg",type="jpeg", height = 10, width = 10, res = 200) Error in dev2bitmap("04610_CSF080721.jpg",

Hi All I still have a problem with ?bitmap? function in R, I have downloaded ghostscript 8.71 and added the path to the executable to the path environment variable, by going to the control panel , system, advanced system settings, added C:\Program Files(x86)\gs\gs8.71\bin to the path variable. I have also added the R executable path to the path variable. I have a 64 bit computer with windows 7

Hi All: I've been struggling for a while trying to get grImport up and running. I'm on a Windows 7 (home premium 64 bit) machine running R-2.12.2 along with GPL Ghostscript 9.01. I've set my Windows PATH variable to point to the Ghostscript \bin and \lib directories, and I've created the R_GSCMD environment variable pointing to gswin32c.exe. I don't have any experience with

Many medical journals and publishers require that images, whether photographs or line art, be submitted as high resolution .TIFF images. One option for R users is to produce an image in one format and to convert it to a .TIFF file using a second software program. My experience has been that this option often results in images of poorer quality, often with blurry contours, and a loss of

Hi, I am having trouble saving graphics from R. jpeg() saves a file with the correct name to the correct directory, but it consists of a blank (white) jpeg with the specified dimensions--the image itself is not being saved. My code is jpeg(filename="myfile.jpg", height = 2.5, width = 8, units = "in", res = 72, pointsize = 12, quality = 100, bg = "white",

Hello, How to produce .tif graphic in colors using bitmap function? e.g this produces figure in grayscale bitmap(file="volc.tif", type = "tifflzw", res = 300) image(t(volcano)[ncol(volcano):1,]) dev.off() I'm using Windows XP and ghostscript. > R.Version() $platform [1] "i386-pc-mingw32" $arch [1] "i386" $os [1] "mingw32" $system [1]

Dear List, There seems to be an bug in compactPDF() or at least an inconsistency with the documented behaviour. The documentations states: Details: This by default makes use of ?qpdf?, available from <URL: http://qpdf.sourceforge.net/>, including a Windows binary. If ?gs_cmd? is non-empty, GhostScript is used. I don't have qpdf on my system so planned to use

Hi all, I am trying to make tiff files of lattice plots at a resolution greater than 300 dpi required by a journal (PLoS ONE). I have tried both the tiff and bitmap functions. tiff keeps panel colors but reduces axes and tick labels so they are nearly invisible. bitmap maintains correct label size but only produces greyscale. Regular plots work fine with tiff; the problem is only with lattice

Hi, I''m trying to automate the conversion of a PDF document received via a browser upload to a tiff image via ghostscript. I have the PDF data in a string, and I need the tiff data returned into a string. The general command I want to emulate is: type test.pdf | "c:\program files\gs\gs8.56\bin\gswin32c.exe" -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=tiffg4 -sOutputFile=- > test5.tiff

Hi, I don't know if I am the first one to report the problem: in 2.8.0 dev2bitmap gained aa support, but "extra" is null if neither taa nor naa is specified. > dev2bitmap("plot.pdf",type="pdfwrite") Error in paste(shQuote(gsexe), " -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -q -sDEVICE=", type, : object "extra" not found >

Hello R community, I am hoping to use a new package that I just installed called "grImport" to import ps images into R for further manipulation using either base graphics or grid. I downloaded the most recent version of Ghostscript from http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/ that I could find (v.8.56) for Mac OSX. However, I am apparently quite ignorant about how the required

Hi, On windows I'd like to run a batchfile that leaves me a plot. As a test I have the scriptfile "test.r" which only contains: x <- 1:10; y <- sample( 10 ) plot( x, y ) Now I tried the following (but nothing worked): a) "R --vanilla < test.r" in the cmd window, => that doesn't give me a plot b) the same, but I added
