similar to: Postscript Bug?

Here is a curious observation.

Hi! The postscript device in 0.90 does not produce symbols (pch=) as it should. E.g.: postscript(file="test.ps",width=8,height=6.4,horizontal=FALSE) plot(1:10,1:10,pch=1:5) legend(1,9,letters[1:5],pch=1:5) dev.off() The result looks quite different compared to the X-windows version. The symbol 1 (pch=1) is much to small, while the other symbols seem to big. Is it a bug? How can I

I am calling plot() with argument pch as a vector of numeric symbol codes, the same length as x and y. Is there some code which produces no symbol - a blank - so that I can come back with a second call to points() and fill in these locations using a different fill color and a different symbol size ? There's always a work-around, but both x and y are generated on the fly by calls

Thanks to all who replied. Mostly the suggestion was to add the argument horizontal= FALSE to the postscript function. However, I was trying to generate a landscape graph. The "fault" lies with gs as Peter Dalgaard pointed out. Under Windows 95, gsview has an option to view landscape or portrait and therefore this problem does not arise on that platform.

I am having a strange problem with R graphics: I am testing out R on a Sun Solaris machine. I generate a simple postscript graph as: postscript(file="temp.ps", paper= "letter") plot(c(1:10), xlab= "index", ylab= "Cell Count") title("Generic Test of R-Graphics") dev.off() When I view the temp.ps file with gs (version 5.50) I get the graph rotated

Apologies in advance for the question. I am trying to draw a map of the US as a surface plot so that I would be able to drop bars on the different states (something like Uwe Ligges' scatterplot3d example 4). I am not sure where to start looking for such a beast. If anyone has any pointers, ideas, I will be grateful. TIA, Partha

Hello everyone, I'm currently trying to export a couple of graphs to pdf . Postscript would be fine too, but I'm using odd page dimensions, which seem to be overwritten when using the "ps2pdf" command. I'm using the pdfpages package in LaTeX to put 6 graphs onto one page (this is why it ought to be a pdf in the end). I have two problems: 1. I'm using

Hi all, I try to save graphic as eps file, but I have probles with quality. My graphics as pdf file is ok. The quality is very good. But when I save as eps the quality is very poor. I try convert pdf to eps file using others programs like adobe acrobat and the quality of eps is like pdf (file is larger than). I try lot of recommendation found in google and others lists. I used:

library(mvtnorm) x = seq(-4,4,length=201) xy = expand.grid(x,x) sigma = (diag(c(1,1))+1)/2 d2 = matrix(dmvnorm(xy,sigma=sigma),201) xsamp = rmvnorm(200,sigma=sigma) contour(x,x,d2) points(xsamp,col=3,pch=16) pdf("pdftry.pdf") contour(x,x,d2) points(xsamp,col=3,pch=16) dev.off() postscript("pstry.ps") contour(x,x,d2) points(xsamp,col=3,pch=16) dev.off() # I can see

I would like to add a footnote to this graph but do not see a "footnote" command in the package:lattice documentation. I would like to note the "span=.8" as the footnote. postscript(file= ?C:/Documents and Settings/dsonneborn/My Documents/Slovak/output/pcb_tables/smooth_PCB_lines_four.ps?, bg=?transparent?, onefile=FALSE, pointsize=20,paper=?letter?, horizontal=TRUE,

Please don't take this the wrong way. There are a lot of extremely helpful people who subscribe to r-help. I was wondering if it is time to adopt a strategy a-la Splus help whereby people reply to the author and the author summarizes all the replies? Just a thought and have a good weekend. Partha

Dear List members, I am trying to produce some trellis graphics and to save them in a postscript file but I only get blank files. R behaviour is certainly strange because I use a loop to generate the graphics (see code below). When I change the loop variable myself the postscript graphics are OK. I am using R 1.9.1 (2004-06-21) on Debian GNU/Linux which I try to keep updated on a daily basis. I

Hi all. I'm working with a short plot (3x3 inches), but the results (via postscript command) are not nice. The lwd command don't affect the lines (that are very large) and the margins don't change using oma, mai, mar, ... Below I put an example. Moreover, save the graphics via postscript command isn't working well (see the attached ps). Thanks by the help, Cezar Freitas.

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

dear R wizards: is it possible to use a postscript font symbol as a plot symbol? in particular, I want to use the four postscript symbols for playing cards (club, heart, spade, diamond) as points. In LaTeX, these four are \Pisymbol{psy}{"A7} \Pisymbol{psy}{"A8} \Pisymbol{psy}{"A9} \Pisymbol{psy}{"A10} and what I would love to do is place them, at say, (x=1,y=1),

I'd like to suggest changes to three help pages, regarding the use of pch=NA to suppress plotting symbols. See below. Arni R 2.0.1 on WinXP === help(bxp) === The argument outpch=" " needs to be replaced with outpch=NA in two places. I actually wrote this part of the documentation myself at one point, but have now realized that pch=NA and pch=" " are not the same:

I am in the process of setting up R1.3.1 on a new computer running windows 2000. I am having problems running the PFE text editor simultaneously within R for editing functions and outside R for editing ordinary text files. The PFE editor behaves as I expected, if it is opened in R AND but no other PFE window is open outside R. Similarly, it also works fine if I am editing a text file outside
