Hi, I am trying to put some graphics I have generated from R on a webpage using dev2bitmap to create a bitmap, .BMP, file. When I look at my notes from 2 or 3 months ago I was successfully able to put the ACTIVE device plot result into a bitmap file using a command such as: dev2bitmap("InsectSpray.BMP") Job done! Now when I try the same command, I get the following: >

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, Without trying to print 1000000 points (see <http:// finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/42105.html>), I often print maps for which I do not want to loose too much of coastline detail, and/or plots with 1000-5000 points (yes, some are on top of each other, but using transparency (i.e. rgb colors with alpha information) this actually comes through as useful information.

Dear all, When saving a plot with the dev2bitmap command: name <- c("test.jpeg") dev2bitmap(name,type="jpeg",height=8,width=13,res=400) Everything seems to be ok... After importing this picture in CORELDRAW (for a poster A0) format the resolution and colors are not optimal. How can I save pictures (colors/resolution) optimally for import into CorelDraw for an

Issue: I have a R script that is invoked periodically by another process. In the script, a graphics is generated and I want to get a the image for the graph as a jpeg. Here is a prototypical version of the script (try.R): plot(1) dev2bitmap("try.jpg", type = "jpeg") I am running R-1.0.0 on Solaris 7. The script is invoked as: R --vanilla < try.R A file named try.jpg is

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

It would be nice for checking documentation to be able to generate the "see also" cross references (e.g. the list of functions where dev2bitmap is linked as a "see also" reference.) Perhaps this already exists? (BTW, it would be useful to have a "see also" reference to dev2bitmap in the help for postscript and for Devices.) Paul Gilbert

Hello, I have the following question, which I haven't been able to resolve after days of trying. I used to save my plots as jpegs using the savePlot command. However, that seems to result in lost resolution. So now I'm trying to use the jpeg( ) function, but am having trouble because it seems to be incompatible with the windows (width=, height=) command. It's important for me to

Michael Lapsley was suggesting on R-help direct copies to gif/png/jpeg. The following seems to do a sensible job for me of copying the current device to any bitmap format supported by gs. The manipulation is needed to work around assumptions made by postscript(), and I think better fixed in postscript() (but not a couple of days before a release). I want to make onefile=FALSE work on

Dear colleagues, Saving a plot with pdf gives a very nice result: pdf("myplot.pdf") par(font=1,family='serif') plot(pressure) dev.off() Doing the very same with other formats (png, jpeg, tiff) gives far worse results. Is there anything to do to make a plot in some other format than pdf look like the pdf? Hardly any journal accepts pdf files for figures, and most do accept png

Dear R-users, I am trying to produce trellis (png, or jpeg) graphs with transparent background, but I cannot manage to make that happen. I tried to play around with themes but to no avail. Any advise on the following example will be greatly appreciated: Thank you Sebastien #### library(lattice) df <- data.frame(a=rep(1:4,4), b=rep(1:4,4), c=rep(1:4,each=4)) settings <- standard.theme()

Hi, I am trying to generate plots on our unix (no X) server to be included in our web-pages -> specifically pngs. Without X, png() obviously doesn't work, so I have been trying to define the graphics print device bitmap as described in the help: > bitmap(file="plot.png", type = "png256", height = 6, width=6,res=72) > pie(c(12,5)) >

After trying numerous options, I'm just about at my wits end. The most frequent suggestion was to export to a postscript or PDF file and import that into Word. However, no matter what I did or how I did it, the results were extraordinarily ugly and somewhat time-consuming. What I've tried so far: 1. Copy and paste from the R graphics output window into Word (in Mac OS X), this is

I am having trouble saving graphs. Using the Aqua interface (which is not my preferred interface), I have no problems plotting a graph, adding additional lines, points, references, etc., and then saving it to a file using, for example, the dev2bitmap command. I have found that, running R with Xemacs+ESS under X11 (which I prefer over Aqua), this is not possible. I can either send the graph to a

Hello all, I am fairly new to R and hope not to be a bother. I have used the R-GUI a small amount under Microsoft Windows0S. I recall the ability to export created charts and graphs to JPEG or other various image formats. How can I do this in the UNIX CLI version? Thank you. Also, I have receiveder the following error after installing a package via CRAN. How would I fix this? Thank you. Jess

I can use a postscript device to produce a file which I can open with the Gimp, then save quite a good png file. If I try to use the png() function directly, I get something rather like a graphics screen dump. The help file doesn't tell me whether it should be like that or not. _ platform i686-pc-linux-gnu arch i686 os linux-gnu system

Hi, I have been a happy user of R for windows for more than a year, however, recently, I started using linux as my operating system and now I have practically switched completely. Of course, I still use R with linux, however, certain nice features of R in windows seem to be missing or hidden. I need help in basically two points: 1. In windows, I could copy the contents of a window graphic's

Hello all: After I compile the R-1.7 with the follows in Linux7.3: configure --with-x --with-jpeglib --with-libpng --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib and make and make install. The R is able to generate PNG/JPEG files from the command line. However, when I put the same commands in a batch file and run: R --gui BATCH R.Batch.file It gave me a error in the
