Setting enviroment variable R_DEFAULT_DEVICE causes an error. The patch below fixes this.

On Linux 2.13 by default links cairo, so png() uses it for rendering. One of my users has performance problem, so ask if it possible to temporary disable cairo during png() rendering so it reverts to grGraphics. My workaround for now is to configure R without cairo, but this affects all users that are forced to load and use CairoDevice if they wants better quality. I want to avoid this, is it

Good day, I have been unable to solve this issue. Do you get grainy fonts when running the test case plot(1:10, main = "abcedfghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz", cex.main = 4, cex.lab = 4, cex.axis = 4) What version of libcairo is on your system ? -------------------------------------- Dario Strbenac PhD Student University of Sydney Camperdown NSW 2050 Australia

Hello: I'm running R 2.7.1 in Antix (Mepis kernel but heavily debian based). I have installed libcairo2 (1.6.4-6.1). I tried installing the Cairo package since I'm interested in generating some SVG graphs, and I got the following message: Only partial output (lines with no): .... checking if R was compiled with the RConn patch... no checking cairo.h usability... yes checking cairo.h

I love the new tiff(), jpeg(), and png() in R 2.7.0 but found an issue that I didn't see reported. When specifying 'units = "in"' but forgetting to change the default height and width (so the figure is unintentionally going to be 480 inches by 480 inches) I run into problems. Here's the reproducible example: tiff("a.tiff", units = "in", res = 1200,

Dear R devel list, Good morning; I'm with the Sage (http://www.sagemath.org) project. (Some of you might have seen my talk on this at last summer's useR conference). We have some rudimentary support for using R graphics in various cases, which has proved useful to many of our users who want to go back and forth between R and other capabilities within Sage. Unfortunately, the way we

Hi all, I have been having problems generating png files on a Mac running OS X 10.6.8. Here's a simple example > png("foo.png", type = "cairo"); plot(1:10); dev.off(); null device 1 libpng warning: Application built with libpng-1.2.26 but running with 1.5.2 The resultant file is of size 0 Kb. Is this the proper place to report this issue? Or should

I just installed R on Redhat Linux at work for the first time and have two questions. 1. I tried to install R to have png and cairo capabilities and was unsuccessful. Before running make, I ran ./configure --with-libpng=yes --with-x=no --with-cairo=yes --with-readline-yes . R installed fine, but when I run R and type capabilities() > capabilities() jpeg png tiff tcltk

When I tried this, I'm having this error. Can somebody help me on this. Are there any alternatives or workaround for this? I'm having hard time to convince our admin to install X11 library and headers since they are not included on the default OS installation. Thanks in advance :) > jpeg("test.jpg") Error in jpeg("test.jpg") : X11 is not available >

Dear All, I am running Debian testing on my box and I have R 2.9.0 installed from the standard repositories. I downloaded the package source from http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Cairo/index.html but when I try to install it on my system, this is what I get $ sudo R CMD INSTALL Cairo_1.4-4.tar.gz * Installing to library ?/usr/local/lib/R/site-library? * Installing *source* package ?Cairo?

G'day all, I am trying to install the cairo package on FreeBSD and receiving an error to do with Makevars - (I'm not very good at this stuff) so here is my various bits of information. I guess this is a problem with a missing library, but I have just been through a lot of grief trying to get png and jpeg to work (they do now work!), so I'm not sure where to go for this. R

Dear R People: Here is something strange. I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 with R 2.9.0. I need to have the rgl package.

We recently discovered that since R 3.3.0, on our CentOS 6 based cluster, R gets built without TIFF support. The last version where TIFF support was built, was 3.2.5. We have libtiff 3.9.4 installed: $ rpm -q libtiff-devel libtiff-devel-3.9.4-21.el6_8.x86_64 (Since CentOS 6 is so old, we have manually installed newer versions of some dependencies: curl 7.46.0, zlib 1.2.8, bzip2 1.0.6, xz 5.2.2

On my current home system, I am getting undesirable output from graphical devices such as png() and pdf(). The graphical output is blurry. I haven't experienced the problem on other systems. As you will see from the attached text file (more information on this file below), the problem does not occur when type='Xlib' is forced. The blurriness is more severe with bitmap output (yes, I am

Hi, It seems that anti-aliasing in png(type = 'cairo') is not well supported for the point symbols without boarders, e.g. pch = 16. The Cairo package works well, though. You can compare png() with CairoPNG(): png(): http://i.imgur.com/8niB3jX.png CairoPNG(): http://i.imgur.com/FZBJOxm.png f = function(dev, ..., main = '') { dev(...) plot(c(1, 2, 1, 2), c(1, 1, 2, 2),
