similar to: Windows metafiles (emf) under Linux

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)

Hi, sorry for the simple question. I am usually able to change the font for PDF graphics with pdf.options(family="Times") However, I have found no way yet to get an emf file with a times font. I also tried a detour by using pstoedit to convert a pdf with the desired font to an emf but even there the font does not appear as times. Is there a way to get a times font in an emf file or is

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

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 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

Hello dear useRs, I'm trying to export a barplot into an emf file. My problem is that the plot is properly printed into the file, except the bars that do not appear :( I've experienced some problems also with simple points plots, in which points did not appear (same problem). Can you help me please ? Thanks in advance ! Clement Poirier

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

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,

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

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

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

I want to plot the unstadardized version of a normal plot.  Can you explain why that is not working? Dev.set(1) xcrit=-1.645 cord.x <- c(-3,seq(-3,xcrit,0.01),xcrit) cord.y <- c(0,dnorm(seq(-3,xcrit,0.01)),0)            # what does final 0 do here? curve(dnorm(x,0,1),xlim=c(-3,3),main='Normal PDF') polygon(cord.x,cord.y,col='orange')

Further to my earlier question. Thank you to: John Maindonald, Ramon Diaz-Uriarte, Brian Ripley, Alvaro Novo, Simon Bond and David Scott for your helpful replies. I have looked at the problem in some more detail. I am using Rgui.exe Version 0.64.2 (July 3, 1999) running under Windows NT To demonstrate the problem, I run the program: > win.graph(width=5, height=3) > data(women) >

Dear Experts, May be the problem is still solved, however I tried to find the answer in the archives: I use: > R.version _ platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch i386 os mingw32 system i386, mingw32 status major 1 minor 7.1 year 2003 month 06 day 16

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!

Hello, In S-Plus Windows you can transform graphics to Powerpoint very easily, in R Windows you can use enhanced metafiles (.emf) and Powerpoint almost as easy. Is there a simular way with R in Linux to transform to the presentation program in StarOffice or OpenOffice or are you stuck with the pdf device? Fredrik Lundgren

Thank you David, That's a nice workaround using plotrix::barp(), but that doesn't explain why ylim doesn't work as intended (or at least, as I expect it to work), or why xpd has no influence when using devEMF::emf()... The problem with saving directly in RStudio is that it requires to manually save the plot, and this becomes troublesome when there are a lot of plot commands in a
