similar to: proposal: 'dev.capabilities()' can also query Unicode capabilities of current graphics device

I'm writing a book using Sweave which includes Unicode characters which R's postscript and pdf graphics devices don't handle properly. The cairo graphics device does handle these characters properly. Thus I'd like to be able to instruct Sweave to use cairo (either sometimes or always) to produce graphics when it processes R code. Is this possible? Many thanks, Roger Levy --

Hi, I would like to draw some Unicode symbols like G- and f-clefs (used in music notation) in quartz-window. I succeed in producing sharp #,: plot(0,0,xlim=c(0,2),ylim=c(0,2)) points(1,1, pch="\u266F",cex=2) But for instance "b" (flat accidental) u266D and those clefs doesn't work. G-clef is said to be UTF-8: F0 9D 84 9E UTF-16: D834 DD1E Code point: U+1D11E I have

Colleagues, OS: OS X R: 2.10.1 I want a mu (?) to appear in text that is created using a PDF device. However, the ? does not appear as intended; instead, it is replaced by two dots. A minimal example is: > pdf("mu.pdf") > plot(1,1, type="n") > text(1,1, "\u3BC") > dev.off() The "text" command yields the following warning messages: >

I have a question about antialiasing when R generates bitmaps. (This follows a thread on the ggplot2 mailing list.) I mostly use R on Linux, although I sometimes use it in Mac and Windows as well. On Linux, I've found that plotting shapes 15-18 via cairo results in bad-looking output. The points are not antialiased, and they are jagged and misshapen. Plots generated in Windows also aren't

I've rolled up R-2.7.0.tar.gz a short while ago. This is a development release which contains a number of new features. Also, a number of mostly minor bugs have been fixed. See the full list of changes below. You can get it (later today) from http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-2/R-2.7.0.tar.gz or wait for it to be mirrored at a CRAN site nearer to you. In case of impatience, try

Dear list, I was attempted to install 2.7.1 in my mac only recently because of the fantastic quartz display support. I had no problem in building from source. But after installation, I always got font warnings as following when using quartz: Warning messages: 1: In axis(side = side, at = at, labels = labels, ...) ... : no font could be found for family "Arial" .... 33: In

Hi, In the past I've found that using the glitz backend to Cairo with Xorg made some simple animation tests I wrote go much faster. I haven't yet tried them with Xgl but I was wondering which backend is theoretically 'best' in this configuration? My understanding is that Xgl feeds everything drawn to the screen via OpenGL - a bit like Quartz 2D Extreme will when Apple get it

G'day all, I am working on a new FreeBSD 8.0 Server (remotely located), and have installed (now several times) R 2.11.0 but I cannot get any graphic outputs (everything else seems to be happening fine...)

This question was asked previously here, but not resolved: http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e15/devel/11/08/0307.html The upshot is that cairo is not being used as the default when it is available, even though the documentation says: Default "cairo" where available and reliable, otherwise "Xlib". Here is my system information: % uname -a Linux anvil 2.6.18-194.11.4.el5 #1
