Hi. GENERAL: Is there a general method for inferring default device settings, particularly 'width' and 'height', that works for all devices? AFAIK, the answer is no, but there might be functions out there that I don't know of. POSTSCRIPT SPECIFIC: If not, I'm considering implementing such a method myself. Is it possible for R to infer the default 'width' and

Hi, I'm new in Latex and I'm trying to include an R chart into a Latex document. This is what I'm doing: 1) In R: save the chart as a a Postcript in a folder C:/xxx/Density.eps 2) In Latex (using TexWorks on windows xp) : In the preambule: \documentclass[11pt]{article} \usepackage{graphicx} \begin{document} blah..blah…blah \begin{figure} \centering

Hi, I need to generate some figure using the Arial font as a requirement for PLoS. Following their guidelines, I have converted the windows font files arial.tff files to .afm using tff2afm (exec file from MikTeX), but when I try to generate a postcript file, the postcript device does not recognize the .afm files. The code I use to test the new font is the following:

Hello. I am posting this on behalf of a student in my class. I have been introducing them to R. I suspect that the problem I need help with is not so much an R issue, but a MAC config issue, but I don't have enough MAC experience to know what to do. Anyway, on to the problem. We are using Frank Harrell's Hmisc and Design packages. This student also wishes to use the latex formatting

Hello I'm doing a number of plots and in all of them I'm specifying the same font size. However, comparing one plot to the other, they have fonts of different sizes, so it appears some scaling is being done. I tried using both postcript(pointsize = ...) and par(ps = ...), but the results were the same. Is there a way to specify a font size that is consistent among calls to plot()?

Dear R?ers I?m trying to get a summary table using latex and summary in the rms package to no avail. I?m running R 2.10.1, Mac OS X snow leopard and I have the mactex 2009 distribution installed. Any obvious things I?m missing? //M options(digits=3) set.seed(173) sex <- factor(sample(c("m","f"), 500, rep=TRUE)) age <- rnorm(500, 50, 5) treatment <-

Hi, I've been trying to recreate plots of that follow a cubic form. The the original graphs I'm looking at were produced with specialized software (Delta Graph), and although I can reproduce it almost exactly with R, the only difference is in the actual display of the curves I've plotted. I've noticed that in R all curves are pixelated, regardless of howmany points I use. Is

Dear all I wrote a routine. At the end of each cycle of the loop I would like to save the result (plot) in a postcriptfile. Of course if I just use dev.print in the following way: dev.print(device=postcript, 'c:/Rfigures/plot_1.ps") I overwrite my results with the second cycle of the loop. I suppose there is a way to define the file name so that several plots are

I would like to print some tables and figures to a PDF device on a CentOS 5 vps. However, I cannot seem to get the latex function from Hmisc working. I followed the example, and got an error: sh: xdvi: command not found. I tried installing the 'tetex-xdvi' linux package, and now it returns: Error: Can't open display. I guess the reason for this is that the machine is a VPS terminal, so

Hey folks, okay, here's the situation - I have a Centos 4.2 system with cups printing installed printing via postcript (with appropriate PPD file) to a HP LaserJet 1320N printer (via jetdirect socket 9100). Everything seems to work right - except for an unusual 'font'??? problem. Many letters seem to be just slightly garbled. At first I thought this was a mechanical problem at

Dear List, My colleague has been having a problem with the following data and plotting commands. The example below is part of a larger set of plots, but I've isolated the problem to this example using this small dataset (below), which kills rgui consistently. My version info > version _ platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch i386 os mingw32 system i386, mingw32 status

Several people have given great advice on how to successfully use X11 on Mac to so we can use the dvi previewer to view latex() output from Hmisc. Now after a version upgrade of X11 and X11sdk we are getting lots of crashes. I noticed a Mac dvi previewer with an executable stored as /Applications/TeX/TeXShop.app/Contents/MacOS/TeXShop Can we bypass X11 problems and point Hmisc to this

I'm using R 2.2.0 on an up-to-date version of Fedora Core 4 with the latest version of Hmisc. When I run an example from the latex function I get the following: > x <- matrix(1:6, nrow=2, dimnames=list(c('a','b'),c('c','d','enLine 2'))) > x c d enLine 2 a 1 3 5 b 2 4 6 > latex(x) # creates x.tex in working directory sh:

Hi, I've written a function in order to plot the same graph in a postcript and in a pdf file. Unfortunately, the second graph is always empty, i.e.: plot.both <- function{myplot, filename}{ pdf(file=paste(filename, ".pdf", sep="")) myplot dev.off() postscript(file=paste(filename, ".eps", sep="")) myplot dev.off() } yields in a

Hi, I'm using latex() from Frank Harrell's Hmisc library to produce LaTeX files. By default, it calls xdvi and displays the dvi. How can I make xdvi not show? I couldn't find a clue in the extensive documentation.

Has anyone gotten centos 4 to print on an officejet 7310? I have tried jetdirect with pcl and postcript no go... I have tried smb but it does seem to be browsable as its not listed and when I specify I enter the IP address for server and I dont know what the share is. Windows XP connects and prints fine.

Hi all I have some plots that I wish to write out to postcript files. I open the postscript device as suggested [postscript(file="foo.eps",...)], run my plotting commands, and close the device as suggested [dev.off()]. However, when I open the eps files in a postscript viewer such as the gimp, the resolution of the postscript images is *really* bad, very "blocky" and

Dear R/LaTex user, I'm simply trying to include a plot created with the Lattice wireframe function into LaTex. I have no problems including other R plots into LaTex by exporting as a Postcript and then including the graph in LaTex using \begin{figure} % Requires \usepackage{graphicx} \includegraphics[width=]{mygraph.eps}\\ \caption{}\label{} \end{figure} However, for some reason when I

Dear List, Some days ago, it was posted in this list a question regarding "How to generate graphics (jpeg) files dynamically". Although it was responded, there is a particular case in which I do not find the rigth solution. My question also goes in the same direction but for the particular case of generating jpeg/bmp or png files when using xyplot (grid/lattice libraries) and the
