similar to: R CMD check: Sys.getenv("R_GSCMD") cannot contain full pathname (contrary to docs)

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

A colleague designed a script for a bar plot, which I'd like to export to my directory via the barplot command: bitmap(file="barplot.tif", type="tifflzw", height=4, width=6.5, res=1250) Unfortunately, this command produces the following error message: Error in system(paste(gsexe, "-help"), intern = TRUE, invisible = TRUE) : 'gswin32c.exe' not found

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 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

Dear helpers, I'm trying out the embedFonts() to embed fonts into my pdf files. However, when I inspect the new pdf with a program designed to look for embedded fonts, I see that the fonts have in fact not been embedded. Below are my calls.

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",

I have R installed on a windows box, and I need to get a better resolution. I understand I need to set R_GSCMD. Which file has to contain this variable? Thanks! Haim

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 couldn't run PostScriptTrace() from the package "grImport" without an error. At first the postscript program couldn't be found. however the problem persisted after the full path the postscript program was indicated. I read earlier post on the subject in vain. See the codes and output below. The file "Senegal_location_map.ps" was originally a "svg" file from:

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

[Env: OS: Win Xp; R 2.15.2; IDE: eclipse/StatET] Each time I update my heplots package, I get warnings from R CMD check on R-Forge, * checking sizes of PDF files under ?inst/doc? ...

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

This question was posed on SO : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58118495/passing-extra-argumenets-to-devtoolsbuild but there has been no useful reply. Something seems to have changed in the |devtools|package, so that the following commands, that used to run now give an error I can't decipher: |>Sys.setenv(R_GSCMD="C:/Program

Hi List, I would like to embed some fonts (AFM format) on 324 eps files produced by a R loop, I’m able to do so one-by-one with the following command: embedFonts('C:/Users/Rodrigo/Documents/UFPR/Micropaleontologia/Potiguar/Cata logo/Mapas/EPS/Example.eps', outfile='C:/Users/Rodrigo/Documents/UFPR/Micropaleontologia/Potiguar/Catalog o/Mapas/EPS/Example2.eps',

Hello, R users. I am trying to embed Computer modern fonts to an R plot and I get the following error. CM <- Type1Font("CM", + c(paste("cm-lgc/fonts/afm/public/cm-lgc/", + c("fcmr8a.afm", "fcmb8a.afm", "fcmri8a.afm", "fcmbi8a.afm"), sep=""), + "./cmsyase.afm")) > pdf("cm.pdf",

The help file of the R bitmap function says that I have to set the environment variable R_GSCMD to the path of my Ghostscript installation. How do I set this variable (either by commandline or in R.app for Mac)? Sorry if this sounds like a very basic question, but I could not find the answer anywhere else. Many thanks Andreas -- -------------------------- Andreas Zankl, MD Division of

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

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, 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

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
