Hi all, By default, MetaPost passes all text through TeX. This has the advantage of allowing essentially any TeX symbols in titles and labels. It give us, who use the multibyte character in ordinary communication, much convenience. Gnuplot has fulfilled this function, and it give me a deep impression for I could use Chinese character in plots with a minor modification to the MetaPost file. I

Hi All, I've started work on a MetaPost device driver (please don't hold your breath). I've copied the XFig driver and renamed everything and this works, I can open the new metapost() and it works exactly like the xfig driver. Now all I have to do is the actual work! Just one question. There is a magic number in ExtEntries as follows: static const R_ExternalMethodDef ExtEntries[] =

I would like to know if a MetaPost device is available or in the plans. A search MetaPost in the documents and list archives did not turn up anything. [I would prefer to use MetaPost when the graphics is to be included in a document that I want in both hard-copy and in pdf formats.] If not, how easy/hard is it to add a new device to R? I caouln't see anything about adding devices in the

Hi, I read the 2000 thread on a MetaPost device in R. If I understand correctly, the main problem with the concept is that R wants the device driver to give back information on the size of strings/labels. To the bet of my knowledge, MetaPost _does_ make it possible to measure the bounding box of text (see section 7.3: Measuring text in the MetaPost manual). For example, one could get the size of

Hi all, To develop the metapost driver, I did an svn checkout (R-2-4-branch revision 40647) as instructed in http://developer.r-project.org/SVNtips.html i.e., I did a, svn co $REPOS/branches/R-2-4-branch r-release-branch/R Not being a core developer, can I just commit the changes? Am I on the right branch? Most of the work is in devPS.c, but there are also some documentation changes

Question for R users under unix: Do you ever edit figs created by R using xfig or some other program? I tried to edit a figure with xfig (a program which I find quite horrible by the way) and it said it couldn't read it in. I guess xfig has no capability of reading postscript files? Can anyone tell me how to do it, or perhaps suggest another freeware structured drawing program for use in

Hi, 1. I started work on a metapost graphics driver a week or so ago and it is gradually taking shape. I'm building up my own test cases into a script as I go, but figured you may have a "canonical testing script" of cases a driver must handle? 2. The clipping function looks like being a tricky problem. It seems to me that the callers of the driver assume that clipping affects all

Hi, I have a query about the maximum length of vector that can be plotted in one go in a postscript driver. Try the following code (in 1.7.0; version details below): t <- seq(from=0, to=4*pi, length=200000) y <- sin(t) postscript(file="o.ps") plot(t, y, type="l") dev.off() If I view the postscript file o.ps in "gv", it takes many seconds before eventually

Okay, going to try this one more time with pine (the GnuPG signing from the Enigmail plugin for Thunderbird keeps getting rejected by sourceforge). Right. Anyway, the documentation (in several places) says the analyze option to use GNUplot is "--residual-gnuplot", when the code actually checks for "--residual-gnu-plot"....extra hyphen. i checked this late last night, but

I'm a scheme and C user generally, I'm a bit wary of the large FORTRAN content of the R language but aside from that issue it seems nice and simple and easy to use. What I want to do is find some GPL software to replace gnuplot, and since R does all the calculating stuff that gnuplot does (probably R is faster though I haven't tested) plus R has quite decent plotting capabilities I

Hello, I am trying to send commands to GNUPLOT to load a .plt file that was generated with a C++ software module called with R, and to replot. I am able to open the program with shell.exec (below) but I am at a loss at what do next. Any suggestions?? shell.exec("C:\\ gnuplot \\ bin \\ wgnuplot.exe") Thanks

Hi there, I'm new to R, coming from gnuplot for the plotting facility... I'm just wondering if there is a equivalent to the fit function of gnuplot in R? If not, s there any good resource on fitting gaussians into a curve? greetings, Stefan

Hello, I'm trying to run R from a webserver, which doesn't have an X server, and produce pngs to go on a webpage, is this possible? I'm doing it in gnuplot with gnuplot> set term png gnuplot> set output With $DISPLAY unset, I get the following error from R: > png() Error in X11(paste("png::", filename, sep = ""), width, height, pointsize, :

Is there a way to do text plots in R? I'd like to do some simple XY plots in R with the output in text (ascii). For example, with gnuplot I can do the following: echo 'set terminal dumb ; plot sin(x)' | gnuplot To generate a simple sin wave. Since I connect to a remote Linux machine using SSH, being able to generate a rough idea of what a plot will look like in text would be

Hi, I have some scripts creating GNUplot graphs that I would like to convert to R. It would be a great help if there would be a reasonable converter that takes over plot commands and initial settings and put these into R commands (I'm an R beginner and thus this kind of Kickstart would be helpful). Remark: Asking Google for "gnuplot to R conversion" or similar things does not

Hi, I am wondering if there is a way to call Gnuplot from R and/or if anyone can recommend a package on CRAN capable of doing this? Thanks, Chris PS - Please cc me on the response. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi all, I wonder why there is so little software for carpet plots (german: Rasterdiagramm) (Three dimensional plot (x, y, z), the 3rd dimension (z) symbolized by colourgradients). Besides from one or the other non free software I only found an OpenOffice macro, a combination of Gnuplot and Excel (an Excel macro calling gnuplot) (http://www.johannes-hopf.de/2009/12/carpet-plot-version-1-3/9 and
