I create lots of postscript files which I view with ghostview. The beginning of the files all begin something like %!PS-Adobe-3.0 %%DocumentNeededResources: font Helvetica %%+ font Helvetica-Bold %%+ font Helvetica-Oblique %%+ font Helvetica-BoldOblique %%+ font Symbol %%DocumentMedia: a4 595 841 0 () () %%Title: R Graphics Output %%Creator: R Software The consequence is that in ghostview,

I've just upgraded our little network here to 2.0 beta 5. The server is a Data General Intel box running DGUX R4.20. Compile and install went incredibly well and things have just about working straight off. However, we experienced a little 'funny' this afternoon. A user was creating and deleting a postscipt file in a Unix directory. She then used Ghostview on the PC client to

Hi, a colleague of mine encountered some unexpected behavior regarding the postscript output from R. It's difficult for me to tell whether or not this is an R problem or a ghostview/gv/interpreter problem. Just to note, I think it's exactly the same situation reported here: http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02/archive/25436.html The following code produces a working plot (no

Does anyone know where I can find good ol' fashion gv? It seems the only ghostview is kghostview or evince. -- James A.

I've added to R-devel the ability to use download.file() and url() to https: URLs, *only* if --internet2 is used on Windows. This uses the Internet Explorer internals, and only works if the certificate is accepted (so e.g. does not work for https://svn.r-project.org). Now I use IE (and Windows for that matter) only when really necessary, and Firefox has simple ways to permanently accept

i just found the following list, i wondered if anybody could add to this as i have to characterize a large data set and am new to R...the list below was so helpful....can you add to this??? Just to forestall confusion amongst those who would like to use one of the functions called "describe"... Hmisc package - describe numeric name count of observations count of missing

Dear all I've got some problems submitting a manuscript, because I can't manage creating the favourable eps-file of a graph created in R. The journal's graphic requirements are as followed: format: eps width: max. 6 inches resolution: min. 1000 dpi supported fonts: Arial, Courier, Helvetica, Symbol, Times, Charcoal, Chicago, Geneva, Georgia, Monaco, Zapf, New York Itried to ways

There may be other ways to partition the universe of questions

Hi all. Am experiancing strange issues with Samba 2.2.11 after upgrading from 2.2.7a. Running it as a Domain Member server to an NT4 PDC the ./config/make/make install was fine, no issues, compiled with same options needed to edit the smb rc file at /etc/rc/d/init.d/smb and make these chamges daemon /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D -s /etc/samba/smb.conf daemon /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D -s

Dear users, another question concerning graphics for publications. My favourite journal wants .eps-graphics, and from older postings i adapted the following code: postscript(file="Figure1.eps", title="Figure 1", width=11.5, height=8, paper="a4",onefile=FALSE) However,  when checking the properties of this file, it is a .ps and not a .eps file. So, i konverted to

Dear List: I am unsure if my problem is with Sweave or LaTeX. Anyhow, I am using the MikTeX distribution and TexnicCenter. I can easily create Sweave files and all goes well until I try to incorporate graphics. I use the same code as found in the examples found in the users manual. In R, the graphics I want are created as Sweave is creating the .tex file. When I examine the .tex file

A while ago I asked about data management approaches in R. I was asked by several people to post a summary of the responses and alas I am just getting around to doing it. I received several comments, both on and off list. Below is a compilation of these responses. Hope this is as helpful to others as it was to me. Best, Brett 1. Frank Harrell recommended a section, "Operating in

I saw an ad in the July 2001 Amstat News for a complex sample survey analysis package called Wesvar. The package has what appears to be a useful feature called a "Workbook" by which the user navigates analysis output. This is a hierarchical tree in which the user may click on a part of the analysis (table, regression fit, descriptive stats, etc.) so as to go directly to that output.

I have attached an image file created by R. The image has white horizontal lines between the cells. The image looks OK in the R Graphics window, but has the horiz lines when viewed in Ghostview (after using save.plot) or when printed out using print.plot. There appears to be a problem with the image code (maybe this will go away in the new version). I am running under Linux and am using 61.1.

Is there any R function that can display a Postscript file that is already in the working directory? For example, if 'graph.ps' is such a file, I'd like to type something like this: > plot.postscript.file(file = 'graph.ps') If no such function exists, I'd be interested in a way to use existing R functions to do this under UNIX or Windows, preferably without a system

i created a postscipt file in R and then i downloaded a free version of ghostview to view it. unfortunately, i get the message fata error : dynamic memory exhausted when i try to view it. when i do a dir on windows xp, the file size is 149,034,475 and i know there about 17,000 graphs. is there a way of possibly viewing this size postscript file in R itself ?

While writing a function that includes placing grid lines at the same position as the axis ticks, I found that the axis* functions don't return anything. Thus I have had to copy the appropriate function, removing the call to axis() and adding a line to return the tick positions. Is there a more elegant way to determine the tick positions on an axis? Thanks. Jim (normally bitwrit at

Hi there folks I have R 1.3.0 running on Red Hat Linux 7.1 with GhostView 3.5.8. When I produce a file like: > bitmap("foo.pdf", type="pdfwrite") > plot(foo) > dev.off() and then try to read it with gv, I get an unrecoverable error and nothing displayed. Any help as to whether this ***should*** work would be appreciated. cheers, John -- John Williams

Hi, I have found references for the following problem in the list archives, but no nice solution. So I decided to post one I came up with. The problem is that graphs output as eps files, for example using ps.options(onefile=FALSE, paper="special", width=8, height=8, horizontal=FALSE, pointsize=12) get rotated when I convert them to pdf using epstopdf. Both ghostview and
