similar to: pdf() device uses fonts to represent points - data alteration?

Dear R-users When trying to import graphics from an pdf-file to a Vector graphics editor (I use Inkscape, but i've confirmed the same problem on adobe products), all points in the graphics turn out as "q"s. This example displays the beaviour: pdf(file="points are weird.pdf") plot(1:5) dev.off() When importing the file to inkscape, I get five neatly arranged little

Hi all, I'm having problems embedding fonts in my graphics - and I've tried embedFonts to no avail. I have a pdf file and pdffonts tells me: name type emb sub uni object ID ------------------------------------ ----------------- --- --- --- --------- ZapfDingbats Type 1 no no no 5 0 Helvetica

Dear helpers, I'm trying out the embedFonts() to embed fonts into my pdf files. However, when I inspect the new pdf with a program designed to look for embedded fonts, I see that the fonts have in fact not been embedded. Below are my calls.

I am stumbling into external font issues here and there. I presume using external lucida fonts is fairly rare, so I am more likely to stumble onto issues here. (of course, I often think I have stumbled onto bugs/features that are not.) So, I hope I am not imposing by reporting the following. [1] can R please not include fonts that it is not using? luafmfiles <-

hey can anybody help me? i have to simulate the richardson Arms race model on R.. for my simulation class...

Do anyone know anything about the use of R for agent-based social simulation? It should be possible, and would be convenient for the simple reason that there are several nice packages containing useful stuff for SNA (Social Network Analysis). Information about packages, web sites, experienced persons in the field, etc. would be very welcome. Tom

Good Evening: I am putting together a large report with plots created in R, V 2.12.0. Most of the plots are created using ggplot2 V0.8.9. I use R's pdf() command to export the plot to a pdf file. I am exporting the plots and attempting to edit the title text in?Inkscape?primarily because ggplot2 does not support superscript or subscript formatting in the title text. For the report I am

I was at a lecture the other day and I saw a presentation of very neat (short) animation modeling epidemic disease spread over a map region. When I ask what software they used they mentioned SAS. Do you know if there are equivalent resources in R to model the spread of disease with animation output? My search in R-help and google didn't lead to any document (though I found a couple of

I've just been trying to post-process some R-created heatmaps using Inkscape, but I can't get them to display correctly in that software. To reproduce: library(grid) r <- as.raster(matrix(runif(25), 5, 5)) pdf("test.pdf") grid.newpage() grid.raster(r, interpolate = FALSE) dev.off() This figure should be a five by five block of grey squares. This is what I see in the R GUI

Hi everyone, Hi ggplot users in particular, ggplot makes it very easy to plot things given their names when you use it interactively (and therefore can provide the names of the columns). qplot(x,foo,data=A) where A has columns (x,y,foo,bar) for example but I would like to use this from inside a function to which the name of the column is given. I cannot find an elegant way to make this

Hello everyone, I am (happily) using ggplot2 for all my plotting now and I wondered is there is an easy way to specify xlim and ylim somewhere when using the ggplot syntax, as opposed to the qplot syntax. Eg. qplot(data=mtcars,y=wt, x=qsec,xlim=c(0,30)) <-> ggplot(mtcars, aes(y=wt, x=qsec)) + geom_point() + ??? Indeed the ggplot syntax is in general more flexible and powerful and

Hello all, I'm using R to produce figures for people who want to be able to edit the figures directly, and who use PowerPoint a lot. I use a Mac, and I'd appreciate any advice about how to approach this. Here's what I've come up with so far: 1) I can use xfig() and then ask them to install Inkscape to edit the files. Downsides are no transparency and a learning curve with

The function wtd.var(x,w) in Hmisc calculates the weighted variance of x where w are the weights. It appears to me that wtd.var(x,w) = var(x) if all of the weights are equal, but this does not appear to be the case. Can someone point out to me where I am going wrong here? Thanks.

I'm fairly new to R, and I'm trying to write out a population model that satisfies the following; the system consists of s species, i= 1, 2,...,s network of interactions between species is specified by a (s x s) real matrix, C[i,j] x[i] being the relative population of the "ith" species (0 =< x[i] =< 1, sum(x[i]=1) the evolution rule being considered is as follows;

We've added a column at http://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_summary.html of test results using the Sun Studio compiler: it is intended that these will be updated weekly. The Sun Studio compiler is that used on Solaris: these runs were on the Linux version. All the other platforms are using gcc 4, so this provides an opportunity for checking for use of gcc-specific features and

Hello everybody, This is probably a classic but I cannot find an answer to this on the mailing list (i.e. with a google search restricted to the mailing list archive). Setting: par(new=T) plot(x,y) works but plot(x,y,new=T) doesn't while it is said in plot's help that ... arguments are passed to par. What am I missing? JiHO --- http://jo.irisson.free.fr/

Hello everyone, A recent (in 2.5 I suspect) change in R is giving me trouble. I want to apply a function (tolower) to all the columns of a data.frame and get a data.frame in return. Currently, on a data.frame, both apply (for arrays) and lapply (for lists) work, but each returns its native class (resp. matrix and list): apply(mydat,2,tolower) # gives a matrix lapply(mydat,tolower) # gives
