Dear all, I'm running into problem in R-1.9.0 that hasn't happened with R-1.8.x If I make a plot with xyplot(), and use the menu to either save to a metafile or copy to clipboard as a metafile to export to eg Powerpoint, I can just copy a blank then. This does not occur with the classical plot(). Thus, I suppose that it may come from lattice or grid (going through the R-archives I

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 =

I know I should not mix base plotting functions with grid/lattice functions, but I have used a "quick-and-dirty" trick of par(new=T) in the past for annotating a trellis-drawn graph in various versions of S-PLUS. The sequence goes something like this: > windows(width = 5, height = 5, pointsize = 10) # open up the device > xyplot(y ~ x) > par(new=T) > xyplot(y2 ~ x) >

Dear all, I'm running into a rather strange problem that hasn't happened before R-1.4.0. If I make a plot on a window() device, and use the menu to either save to a metafile or copy to clipboard as a metafile, I get an error message in the R console: Error: A metafile can store only one figure. This only happens when the lattice (and grid) package is attached, regardless of whether the

The problem is known and is in grid/lattice. That starts up a blank page before the first plot. It is not related to 1.3.1/1.4.0, but to grid updates. Paul Murrell has been informed!

Under v1.6.2, Windows NT4 OS, when a function contains an execution error and I have placed browser() in inside the function body, the call to browser is ignored. A brief example to illustrate: > foo <- function(x) { + y <- x ^ 2 + browser() + foo2(x) ## Intentional error + x ^ 3 + } > > foo(30) Called from: foo(30) Browse[1]> Error in foo(30) : couldn't find

I'm having difficulty using the win.metafile command. I'd like to place three plots in one window and then save the window as a metafile. The commands I want to use are: win.metafile("mike.emf",width=3,height=2,pointsize=10) nf <- layout(matrix(c(1,2,3), 3, 1), heights=c(1,1,1)) layout.show(nf) plot(rnorm(10)) plot(rnorm(10)) plot(rnorm(10)) dev.off() However, I get the

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

Dear R-help, Is it possible to use win.metafile() on *nix versions of R? I tried R 2.1.1 on FreeBSD and R 1.9.0 on redhat with no success. I need to give some graphs generated in R to my boss so that he can modify them in Powerpoint to fit he style of his presentation. Recommendations on other methods are appreciated as well.

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:

Dear UseRs called Hadley, or Paul, I am trying to print an edited ggplot2/grid graphics to a metafile. With the commented line below it works, but when I edit the plot by uncommenting the line, it fails, because it's illegal to have 2 graphics in a metafile. It works with pdf, but even then I get two plots, which is a nuisance. I found a workaround by using windows(); savePlot, but it only

Thanks very much to Paul Murrell and Frank Harrell for addressing my original query (repeated at end of this note). Paul's helpful suggestion with print.trellis and its more= argument, followed by trellis settings, works precisely as I needed. > # snipped from Paul's reply: > p1 <- xyplot(y ~ x, ylim=c(-5, 5)) > p2 <- xyplot(y2 ~ x, pch=16, ylim=c(-5, 5), ylab="

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

Hi, I just downloaded rw1080dev.exe 09-Sep-2003 07:42 21.6M from http://www.stats.uwo.ca/faculty/murdoch/software/r-devel/ and tried using tkrplot on Windows 2000. .First.lib failed to load the dll: .Tcl(paste("load", file, "Rplot")) appeared to be mixing up double-backslashes and forward slashes: [tcl] couldn't load library "C:w1080devlibrary

Platform: Windows 95 Version : R0641 Problem : I wish to plot and save a large number of graphics files in windows metafont format.

Hi All, I need a file which I can import to MS Word, I'm trying win.metafile(), but it does not seem to support multiple print commands at once (please see below). Is there an alternative to get plots file which can be used in powerpoint/word? # R code: # this does not work; but same thing works with pdf() library(lattice) win.metafile("test.wmf") p1 <- xyplot(decrease ~

Dear all, I have a problem which I'm not sure if it is due to my machine or if I'm doing something wrong. I'm ploting a little map using plot(val, type="l", asp=1) where val is the object with the latitude/longitude data. In the screen the figure is perfect, and I can copy to the clipboard and paste it to other places. I can also saved using png() or jpeg(), althoug

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
