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

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

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

Dear all, Further to my previous message I now made a one-line convencience function to export your currently active graphics window/plot to either Word or Powerpoint in Office-native vector-based DrawingML format using either export2ppt(file="plot.pptx") or export2doc(file="plot.docx") : see

I am trying to save some graphical output including a legend in the Windows Enhanced Metafile (EMF) format. This fails when xyplot() is used rather than plot(). Here is a simple example: require(lattice) a <- c(1:10) b <- c(2,4,5,2,3,5,7,8,9,5) # Output can be saved (or copied to the clipboard) as a Windows EMF image file # from the Graphics Device output window. plot(a , b)

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!

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

Dear R devel, being constrained to a windows environment at work and having colleagues being accustomed to the Microsoft Office Suite, I was looking for a way to have the RweaveLatex driver for Sweave automatically generating 'win.metafile's in addition to the pdf graphics. Without this functionalilty, the generation of emf-graphics is quite laborious, I think: <<>>= plotit

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

Dear R-helpers, I recently upgraded to R 1.9.0 in my computer at work and at home: 1.-The computer at home has Windows XP and Office XP and it seems to work perfectly and I copy-paste graphics perfectly. 2.-The computer at work has Microsoft Windows 2000 (5.00.2195 Service Pack 2) and Word 2000 (9.0.4402 SR-1) I cannot copy-paste windows metafiles into Office applications in my computer at

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

Hello all, I want to draw a grid behind my graphes, using lattice package. I manage to do it with instructions like this one : xyplot(Sepal.Length + Sepal.Width ~ Petal.Length , data = iris, allow.multiple = TRUE, scales = "same",type="l", panel = function(...) { panel.grid(h=-1, v= -1) ; panel.superpose(...) } ) I was wondering if there were a way to do it

Dear all, For vector-based output, PDF export of R graphs works well, but unfortunately Office on Windows provide poor support for PDF and importing & exporting to other formats using Inkscape can be buggy. Enhanced metafile export in turn does not support transparency (also not in package devEMF - are there any plans to support this perhaps in the future?). And rasterising graphs to a PNG I

Running R : Copyright 1999, The R Development Core Team Version 0.90.1 (December 15, 1999) on NT 4.0 gives me problems with: win.metafile(file="./x.emf") x <- 1:100/7 plot(x,cos(x),type="n") lines(x,sin(x)) abline(v=0:15,h=-2:2/2,col=gray(0.8)) Only labels and titles on axes are in the file. No axes or lines of any kind. (I look at the file by inserting it in Word,

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

Dear all, I'm stuck with the following problem: I generate graphs using both the grid system (with lattice) and the base system. I'd like to be able to identify these graphs later on with a bit of identifying text (e.g. a date and some comments). Adding text to these graphs cannot be done using a common system if you want to save them as emf files. I now use: mtext("labelling

Full_Name: Drew Tyre Version: 1.4.0 OS: Win 2000 Submission from: (NULL) (140.253.74.225) When creating a rather complex plot, the resulting figures 'shrink' when either copied to the clipboard or saved as a metafile using the GUI menu. Also saving as postscript or pdf causes the same problem, as does printing the figure directly from the graphics window. Only the figure areas shrink,

Dear colleagues: I use R 1.9.0 on Windows XP. One of my common tasks is to get R graphs into Word documents. A open windows() device, almost always trellis.device() for me, provides great convenience with the right-click shortcut menu item "Copy as metafile". I typically have the History > Recording feature turned on as well. Since upgrading to 1.9.0, I have experienced an

Hello all: I have searched through the help files and I have been unsuccessful in solving this problem. I am trying to create a small wrapper function that will go around a call to a plot function and create a windows metafile in the directory and also write the name of the file to a text file. The purpose is to efficiently bring a large number of plots into powerpoint. I am using
