hi- I have been using postscript()and contour() to do quick plots of geological sufaces and it would be handy to be able to dump a plot as an autocad dxf file for vector import into autocad. A search of rhelp of 99 thru 01 gave no matches for dxf. Any suggestions for a dxf or dump of a plot as vectors? Thanx Thanx Robert (Bob) L Sandefur Principal Geostatistician Pincock Allen & Holt

Dear All, I am looking for the best way to use graphs from R (like xyplot, curve ...) for a presentation with powerpoint. I used to save my plot as pdf and after to copy them as image in powerpoint but the quality is not optimal by so doing. Another completely independent question is the following: when I use "main" in the xyplot, the main title is very close to my plot,

Hi all I am doing some stats work for a group of biologists who require windows metafiles (*.wmf) for their publications. To create these, I appear to have two choices: 1. Restart my machine in Windows and use savePlot 2. Keep my machine in linux, save as another format, then convert. I'd rather stay in linux; but how do I get wmf files? I looked at using ImageMagick's convert,

Hi, I am VERY interested in getting the xfig driver so that I can edit graphical output from R. Searching through the mail archives and reading documentation isn't helping. Is there or isn't there a working driver for this purpose. How can I get it? I tried looking at the development version of the tarballs, but I didn't find anything that looked promising in there. Also, does

Hi Folks, I see that people have been discussing the win.metafile device on the list since before 2000. Yet I have never seen this on a Linux distribution of R. Is this because the device works by making calls (GPL calls of course!) to a proprietary Windows library? In that case I can understand that it would be far from kosher to implement it on Linux. But I'd like confirmation. I must

Dear developers, I wonder would you consider making a save to a graphics file format (as opposed to ps)? What prompts this is that we have just finished my wife's thesis using R heavily for stats and graphs. The combination of latex, bibtex and R generated .eps worked a treat and we were very pleased with both the final outcome and the efficiency of gernerating it, especially when all the

Hi there, I want to create plots with some kind of 'complex' axis labelling of the form $\dot{V}$ and integrate those plots into a LaTeX document. What is the best way to go? I've figured out, that the 'plotmath' commands are somewhat limited (at least I wasn't able to get the $\dot{V}$ generated) and that plots with 'plotmath'-axes wouldn't export

I posted a similar query some months ago. Some people answered stating that win.metafiles were not available for R in linux. However, I was suggested to use the package RSvgDevice, which allows transforming any graphic device into Scalable Vector Graphics format, this file can then be opened with sodipodi, and really impresive stuff can be achieved. I also noticed that OpenOffice for linux has an

Greetings List, I am conducting some large simulations using R. As a result, I get many plots but I'm having some trouble with including some of them in a Microsoft Word document. Can any one tell me the easiest method of having copies of the R-graphs in the Word documents? Best regards Mahmoud [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

One of the few things that I miss from Splus is the ability of interactively add text and symbols to graphics that have been created by functions. I understand that the best solution in R is to create a graphic file and use external software for editing the graphic. I know what to use in the Win environment, but could anyone suggest what tools would be appropriate under Linux? Thanks Agus Dr.

Hallo! I want to plot multiple grouped data in a postscript file using a loop. As I use a loop no plot (or just one empty plot) is generated. Here an example: library(nlme) data(Loblolly) # example data from nlme postscript("PSFile.ps") for (i in 1:1) # just as example { plot(Loblolly) } dev.off() Result: Just an empty PSFile.ps. (Withoput the loop it works. May anybody help? Karl

Hello all, I'm using R1.2.2 and wonder whether there is already a new (unofficial) version that supports fill patterns for polygon(). thanks M.E. -- +------------------------------------------------------- | Marcus Eger +-------- ><> ------------------------------------------- | E-Mail: eger.m at gmx.de (NEW) | marcus.eger at physik.uni-marburg.de (OLD) | WWW:

Hello all, I'm using R to produce figures for people who want to be able to edit the figures directly, and who use PowerPoint a lot. I use a Mac, and I'd appreciate any advice about how to approach this. Here's what I've come up with so far: 1) I can use xfig() and then ask them to install Inkscape to edit the files. Downsides are no transparency and a learning curve with

Dear everybody! I am making a graph in R and employ pstoedit to expot the .pdf-output to .svg. When I open the .svg with firefox I get the .svg-code shown wit the following header: "Mit dieser XML-Datei sind anscheinend keine Style-Informationen verkn?pft. Nachfolgend wird die Baum-Ansicht des Dokuments angezeigt." Which information should how be included? Thank you in advance. Yours,

R1.8.0, Win2k: When I run the code lset( list( background = list(col = "white"))) xyplot ( y ~ TIME , data = foo.frame, scales = list(alternating = FALSE), ylim = c(.75,y.max), panel = function(x, y, panel.number, ... ) { panel.superpose(x = foo.frame$TIME[foo.frame$group == 1], y = foo.frame$y[foo.frame$group == 1], subscripts = TRUE, groups =

Can anybody of the architects of R enlighten me about the reasoning behind the selection of the IEEE 754 mode for the building of R, please? Special points of interest are: 1. The selection seems to be based on the availability of isnan() and finite(). Is this a common way to test for IEEE 754? 2. The C9x draft introduces isfinite() instead of finite() (and as I see, some systems, e.g. the

hi, all. I use R on a unix (linux) box and am quite happy with it. However, sometimes I need to create a graph that needs to be used with Microsoft Word or Powerpoint (ug). I can create a png or jpeg format picture, but the text look pretty crummy because jpeg is bitmapped. I can also create a PS/EPS version (my preference), but then it doesn't display properly in word or powerpoint (but it

In Matlab or Octave I can evaluate (evalf) the content of a string. In R I have looked around in the docs, but have not found a way to do something equivalent (which is possible, I think). Can anybody give me a pointer? ============================================================================= Thomas Hoffmann, Institut fuer Halbleiter- und Mikrosystemtechnik, TU Dresden E-mail: hoffmann at

I was hit by ugly crashes of R, when I tried to read big data sets ("volcano"). So I looked into the code and found the following in character.c (triggered by substr()): I assume that the helper function AllocBuffer() shall facilitate an economic memory management. But the use of realloc() in the else-branch does not conform to ANSI and may hit you with certain compilers. When called
