similar to: Quality of graphics produced as windows metafiles

Hello, Using the rgl package, I can set the device window to any dimension (that I have tested): par3d(windowRect=c(1,1,700,700)) With windows I can't get the window to span from the top to the bottom of the monitor. In the following, no matter how large the ypinch value gets it stops, leaving about 2 inches of space at the bottom of my screen: windows(record=TRUE, ypinch=1100, xpinch=10,

I am experiencing some problems with the windows graphics device and bitmaps. (Everything is done in R 2.3.1 on Windows XP) As an example, I will use windows(3,2) plot(1:10) It is not a pretty or meaningful graph, but it demonstrates the problem. savePlot(file="test",type="bmp") creates a bitmap file of size 303x207 which is somewhat strange because it seems to use slightly

Hello, when I try to use the filled circle (pch = 16) in a Windows metafile, it appears highly pixelated rather than as a smooth vector. The other filled circles (pch = 19 and 20) are vector circles, filled with pixels. Results are the same whether I use windows() and save or copy as a metafile, or win.metafile() Also, some of the other symbols are misshapen, e.g. the diamond pch = 23 is not

I am having trouble getting smooth-appearing curves in figures produced as windows metafiles using R (R-1.1.1 on Windows 98). When I import them into a word processor (either MS Word 97, or WordPerfect 9.0), the figures appear only slightly bumpy on screen, but when printed, there is a clear jaggedness reminiscent of aliasing. Is there a fix for this (if the answer is "upgrade to 1.2",

Hi, Under Windows, I am exporting graphs from R (in metafile -emf- format), and want to combine them using a graphic package. It happens that the background of the graph is represented by a filled rectangle (with the color given by bg=...). This is to be expected. However, I find no options to disable this and produce a graph with transparent background. Does such an option exist? If not, then

Full_Name: David Stevens Version: 2.7.0 OS: Window SP Submission from: (NULL) (129.123.9.110) Lately I've been copying graphics to a metafile to paste to a document. No matter what the graphics window size, the pasted graphic only fills the upper left 1/3 of the allocated space. How can I make it fill the space

Hi, how can I save an image as a metafile? I know within windows you can do a right click and then 'save image as metafile' but I use Mac OS X...I know as well that mac users have a right click as well, but it does not work. Is there a command in R for saving images as metafiles? Regards, mentor -- View this message in context:

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

As a followup to a previous posting regarding the win.metafile() function, I've been having some problems as well. In my case, I've been converting some scripts from S-SPLUS to R that create graphs in order to take advantage of R's plotmath capabilities. In the sample code shown below, the axis labels display the units for the data. In particular, the units for the y axis are

Hi all Humbly begging forgiveness for bothering the list with yesterday's lame--arsed question. Postscript, being a vector graphics file format, is, um, resolution independant. The problem as Peter pointed out was with the gimp, which defaults to 100dpi resolution when viewing postscript files. I have another (lame?) question. I have noted that when I produce a graph with multiple

OK. Deepayan sent me the copy of a chat on another list between John Fox, Duncan Murdoch and Paul Murrell. The bug in the gui.exe looks like being reported with an example to turn it before he has been definetely fixed. Just try: trellis.device("win.metafile", file="test.emf") data(iris) cloud(Sepal.Length ~ Petal.Length * Petal.Width | Species, data = iris, screen = list(x =

Hi All: I'm using win.metafile() to produce windows metafiles. When I use Word to insert the wmf picture, Word gives an error! I did my homework in posting this question, and couldn't find a fix. Any suggestions? Phil Smith CDC

Hi all, I recently discovered how great win.metafile is for getting high resolution graphics into word. Having problems with specifying families though... #pdf works fine pdf("test.pdf",width=14,height=9) par(family="Helvetica") plot(1:10) text(4,4,"trial") dev.off() windows 2 #metafile doesnt like helvetica family

Platform: Windows 95 Version : R0641 Problem : I wish to plot and save a large number of graphics files in windows metafont format. I have a very crude postscript printing function, which happily handles repeated calls: psf<-function(filename){ dev.print(postscript,file=paste(sep="",filename,".ps"),horizontal=F) return() } To produce metafont files, I

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

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

Just want to express MHO that the graphics produced by wmf.graph() in Splus 6 for Linux is only of barely acceptable quality (e.g., hallow circles were drawn too thick, making the plot look rather awkward).
