similar to: Adding a title to a postscript file

I have a non-PS printer setup to print under linux using ghostscript as a filter. This printer has two paper trays, one has letter paper, the other tabloid size paper. If I print from a program that uses a PPD file to configure the printer, like StarOffice or The Gimp, I can select the paper size from a nifty list. If I select letter size, the printer print with paper from the letter tray. If

Hello, I came across this by using R cmd check - otherwise I would probably not have noticed. One of my functions does something like this: # postscript() # plot(1, xlim = c(0, 10), ylim = c(0, 4), type = "n", ann = FALSE, axes = FALSE) # text(1:10, 2, c("a","b"), cex = seqcex, family="mono",font=2) Which results in the error: Error in text.default(1:10, 2,

Hi, I've been using the nifty little application Gtkcdlabel for making CD and DVD covers since 2005, if I remember correctly. Later versions are written in Python, and it's a graphical frontend to the cdlabelgen utility. The application doesn't look very well maintained, since the 1.15 release dates back to 2011. Nevertheless, I've been successfully running it on Slackware Linux

Full_Name: Zdenek Valenta Version: 1.9.0. OS: Windows XP Submission from: (NULL) (147.231.7.250) I could not copy/save (Trelis) graphics using R version 1.9.0. The graphics displayed normally, but copying/saving it only produced an empty file. Everything works o.k. with R rel. 1.8.1. Best regards, Zdenek Valenta

I am stumbling into external font issues here and there. I presume using external lucida fonts is fairly rare, so I am more likely to stumble onto issues here. (of course, I often think I have stumbled onto bugs/features that are not.) So, I hope I am not imposing by reporting the following. [1] can R please not include fonts that it is not using? luafmfiles <-

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

Dear friends: Forgot to include three more data files: http://www.websher.net/tmp/user.reg http://www.websher.net/tmp/system.reg http://www.websher.net/tmp/userdef.reg Thank you again.

Hi, I want to create a data frame including a column containing some special characters, like "ø". when I print that data frame out, the content change to <U+00F8>, and when save the data frame to a txt file, the content keep in that style, but I need it in its original form, anybody can explain? > x <- data.frame(part = c("målløs", "ny")) > x

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

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

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:

Hi, When I place a legend on a plot it looks exactly as I intended on the screen. However, almost always, when I export this to postscript file, the legend's text protrudes through the legend's frame (the latter being placed correctly). See the appended example code. I can send the EPS file as well for those that are interested (<4 kb; <200 lines). I found nothing in the FAQS,

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

Paul, You solution worked out really well when I ran my code in R. However, when I try to turn the plot into a pdf, the unicode string no longer seems to function and instead of the sigma symbol there are just two periods (See example code below). The following is the code working in the R environment just like I want it to look: set.seed(1) Data=rnorm(100,sd=10000) plot(density(Data))

I like the fact that the postscript function enables the possbiility of a more useful title than before. However, I'd prefer the default to be the file name. It's very simple for me to make my own postscript function that does just that simply by setting title = file. I always use onefile = TRUE, so it always works (so far). However, I'm a little reluctant to do that in case some
