similar to: Bounding Box in pdf files

dear R wizards: I have a very simple suggestion/question. Would it be easy to change the pdf device so that it adds a BoundingBox around its output? (Under R 2.4.1, this seems not to be the case, because epstopdf under linux complains. Fortunately, it still works correctly.) This is not a big deal, but it would be nice if R did so, if only to help some pdf programs that are less adept at

I'd like to make MikTeX the default TeX package in 2.2.0, but we still need to let people use other packages. The problem is that MikTeX wants a command line option --include-directory $R_HOME/share/texmf, while other packages specify includes via environment variables, and barf when they see the unexpected option. The choice should be controlled by the user's settings in the MkRules

I'm having a problem rebuilding a package, new to me in R 2.15.0 (Linux) It hits all that contain the line \usepackage[pdftex]{graphics} and leads to the following when running R CMD check on the directory. (I do this often; a final run on the tar.gz file will happen before submission.) Since I float and resize my figures, removing the line is fatal in other ways.

Dear all, I am getting an R CMD check warning about the PDF manual. I am having a hard time finding out what is wrong, here is the log of the Rd2pdf call. The full check (and other) log is at https://api.travis-ci.org/jobs/46373922/log.txt?deansi=true if anybody is interested, and the package itself is here: https://github.com/metacran/r-builder/tree/bintex/rbuildertest Thanks, Best, Gabor

Hello ALL: I ran with success the following commands in R getting a file saved ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ postscript() postscript('~/data/st202/2003/lecture00/lecture00-graph-01.eps', horizontal = FALSE, height = 6, pointsize = 10) hist(trial.outcome.5, breaks = 5, main = '1000 Replications of 5 Trials of a

I'm trying to use the pictex driver for bargraphs, and the shading isn't showing up. Is there any way to get some sort of shading in the plots? A hatch or stipple would be fine, too; just some way to differentiate the bars. The postscript driver won't do, since I'm trying to embed this in a LaTeX document which I'll use pdflatex on and \includegraphics for pdftex doesn't

Hi, I am generating a large number of graphs with pdf() and incorporating them in pdf document using pdflatex. According to the pdf() help: 'pdf' writes uncompressed PDF. It is primarily intended for producing PDF graphics for inclusion in other documents, and PDF-includers such as 'pdftex' are usually able to handle .compression. But pdflatex incorporates the R

Dear R-specialists, I am trying to create a Makefile that will first convert all my .Rnw files into .tex files and then, that will run the LaTeX compiler to produce a pdf document. This issue has been discussed before. Hence, I've basically adapted a Makefile I found at http://n4.nabble.com/R-Sweave-R-and-complex-latex-projects-td810020.html#a810023 to make it compatible with a Windows

Dear R developers, I had some problem when building package: for exemple when building the package e1071 available from CRAN, I get the following message error: * checking for file 'e1071/DESCRIPTION' ... OK * preparing 'e1071': * cleaning src * running cleanup * creating vignettes ... ERROR /usr/lib/R/bin/texi2dvi: pdflatex exited with bad status, quitting.

Hi, This is a follow-up to the problem reported here: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2010-September/058460.html After I updated R-2.12 to 2010-09-13 r52905 on the Bioc build system, some of the packages that have a Makefile in <pkg>/inst/doc still don't build on Windows. For example, 'R\bin\R.exe CMD build adSplit' gives: * checking for file

Hi all I am trying to build an R package, which I have successfully done many times before, but have an error I cannot trace. I hope someone can help me. Here's is some edited output (full output below if it is useful): pdunn2 at PDunnUbuntu:~/DSdata$ R CMD build GLMsData * checking for file 'GLMsData/DESCRIPTION' ...

The following paragraph from ?pdf struck me as a bit odd: 'pdf' writes uncompressed PDF. It is primarily intended for producing PDF graphics for inclusion in other documents, and PDF-includers such as 'pdftex' are usually able to handle compression. Should that be "...and PDF-includers such as 'pdftex' are usually _un_able to handle

A kind member of R-core suggested this is due to a misconfiguration on my system, and to post it to the mailing list for troubleshooting. When trying to build R version 4.3.3, in at least two places during the process it gives LaTeX errors of the form: (example 1) you should 'make docs' now ... make[1]: Entering directory '/home/btyner/R-4.3.3/doc' creating

Dear R-users, I want to give a try to Sweave and Latex but I am having some problems compiling my .Rnw files within Kile. I have followed the recommendations given in http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e5/help/08/10/4277, but they do not seem to address my particular problem. I am using R 2.11.0 and Kile v 2.0.83 on an OpenSUSE11.2 installation (KDE 4.3 environment). According to the log (see

I'm trying to (re)learn Sweave and run into some problems. I use now ubuntu (8.10), emacs + ess. Slowly getting upto speed on ess. I have a complete (hopefully) .Rnw file, but the resulting .tex will not compile. The file does not contain anything exotic, but it produces pdf figures, and that is where the problems come: library(tools) > Sweave("varioCoo.Rnw") Writing to file

In the process of updating R to R 2.7 alpha or R 2.7 beta for the BioConductor 2.2 builds on Windows, I have hit a snag because the BioC build system has long path names (e.g. D:\biocbld\bbs-2.2-bioc\R) and these path names are not resolving properly by MiKTeX 2.7 during vignette construction. Take, for example, the attached vignette from Biobase, Bioconductor.Rnw. I have built R from source

I have tried to find a neat way to include graphs from R in LaTeX documents, but have not succeeded (I work with a WinEdt/MikTeX combination). The two roads I have stumbled along so far are the following: *Generate postscript files and convert them into EPS files by means of GhostScript or other not so straightforward tools. *Generate pictex files and include these. None of these solutions have

Hello, I should use R on cygwin. I have ever install cygwin and now I try to install R. I have read the R manual and particularly the part : Installation R under Unix but I improved some difficulties for succeed in this task. Actually I have create a R repertory where I have unzipped the file R-2.9.1.tar.gz. In this repertory I do ./configure in cygwin but some errors appear and I don't

Dear members, this can sound trivial for some people but I don't have experience on compilation. I'm trying to install R-2.2.1 on a laptop running Mandriva 2006. I already installed many of the recommended packages/libraries but it seems that something is still missing. The problem is that I cannot identify... Could somebody give me some advise? I put the output of the command
