similar to: HOW to resize existing graphics window??

Hi. Q. Is there a way to record a plot using grDevices::recordPlot() without opening an interactive (=visible GUI window) graphics device (not even for a flash of a second)? Related: help("recordPlot", package="grDevices") says: "These functions record and replay the displaylist of the current graphics device." Is the intention that recordPlot() should be able to

Hi, I wonder if this is expected or I'm doing a wrong thing. pdf() dev.control('enable') library("grid") plot(1) grid.text("A") res = recordPlot() dev.off() cairo_pdf() replayPlot(res) dev.off() *** caught segfault *** address 0x4, cause 'memory not mapped' > sessionInfo() R version 3.3.2 (2016-10-31) Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0 (64-bit)

The documentation for recordPlot says the following: > As of R 3.3.0, it is possible (again) to replay a plot from another R session using, for example, saveRDS and readRDS. However, I haven't been able to save and restore a plot displaylist and have it work within the same R session, using R 3.4.3 or 3.3.3. Here's an example: # Save displaylist for a simple plot

Hi This appears to be happening (at least) because cairo_pdf() delays initialising a Cairo surface until BM_NewPage(), rather than initiliasing a Cairo surface in BM_Open(), and replayPlot() triggers some activity (set clip region) on the device BEFORE a new page is started (so the pointer to the Cairo surface is null, so BOOM). Not sure yet whether to blame replayPlot() for not starting

Hello dear R-help members, Very soon I am to give a lecture on R. And in that lecture I intend to move between: par(mfrow = c(1,1)) to par(mfrow = c(1,2)) back and forth. I anticipate this will damage the image proportions and will force me to resize the window. So far I have found it is possible to close the window and then reopen it (bigger/smaller) by using: dev.off()dev.new(width=5,

I am trying to save plots that I create using calls to windows() folowed by multiple calls to plot to place several plots on a page. I want to store the plots as variables to be able to recall them later. The documentation states: "Recorded plot histories are of class "SavedPlots". They have a print method, and a subset method. As the individual plots are of class

Hey all, I've run accross what seems to be a bug in the recordPlot/replayPlot functionality (or at least the lack of a feature which seems pretty reasonable to expect to be there) When drawing to a file-based graphics device (I tested with png()), the file resulting from calling replayPlot on a recordedplot object does not contain an identical image to that captured by the same graphics

I have plots that were stored using recordPlot() in a fairly recent but pre-1.6.0 version of R that will not replayPlot() in R 1.6.0. The error message is Error in replayPlot(x) : invalid hex digit in color or lty The plots were stored in June (2002-6-14), each as an element of a list named 'rpl'. The version of R that was current then is what I used. At that time I was able to

Record plot which stores a plot to an internal R data structure and Replay Plot which replays the plot enables one to keep plots around and use them accross sessions at least until version 3. If you cannot restore old plots and treat them as data and save accross sessions, there is little reason for recordPlot. Either R needs to dispense with internal formats entirelly, a bad move in my opinion

Hello, for testing & learning purposes I create X11 device and specify layout like layout(c(1,2,3), 3, 1), so I could play with parameters and see several plots at the same time. That works fine until I try to create 4-th plot - all other plots erased. Such behaviour isn't desirable for testing purposes and I'm asking where to look to disable erasing other plots. Regards, Oleg

Hello. First post, please excuse lack of experience. I recently switched from MS-Win to Kubuntu and find it rather difficult to recover Cran-R ease of use. The "Graphics history" facility available under Windows was, for me, extremely useful. From Murrell's 2005 book (see citation below) I understand that no such facility is available under non-Windows systems. In R-help

Another message about the R to TeXmacs interface. 1. Graphics The TeXmacs interface allows the user to directly insert graphics into the session. Since I am not very familiar with programming for R, I implemented the interaction with graphics in a very primitive way. It was two modes of working: with X11, and without (for example when working remotely through ssh without forwarding X11). In

Hello, I am plotting data as a venn diagram but would like to be able to control how it is plotted like a lattice object. Right now, it plots right away. I would like to name it and then plot at will. I thought to convert the whole thing to a PostScript file then get it back into R via grImport, but surely (please!) there must be a less roundabout way to do this. Any help is appreciated. Here

Hello, first, I'd like to congratulate the core team to the new R version 1.1. I think it's a great update, with glimpses into an even greater future (tcltk!). While playing around with the new functions (on Win 95), I found the following: As the documentation states, when I generate a plot and save it with recordPlot, I can regenerate it by printing the variable: > plot(1:10) >

If I produce lots of figures at one time, how can I make R graphics keep all the figures already made? thanks, Xinyue Ye, Research Assistant Institute for Geo-spatial Research and Education 125 King Hall Eastern Michigan University Ypsilanti MI 48197 http://ceita.emich.edu/ [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I realize the R developers are probably overwhelmed and have little time for this, but the documentation really needs some serious reorganizaton. A good through description of basic variable types would help a lot, e.g. the difference between lists, arrays, matrices and frames. And, it appears there is some object-orientation to R, but it is not complete. I can't, for instance find a

dear useRs and developeRs, I am afraid it is a very basic question, but I did not find anything alike in the literature. The R standard graphics device shows the opportunity to activate the history of plots drawn within the current session. Th user can scroll back and see the last graphs (or same graph with some changes in parameters). I did not find out yet how to activate the history by code.

Hi You could also look at dev.capture(), depending on which screen device you are using.
