similar to: savePlot for Mac and / or Linux?

Hi, I recently encountered an error using the command "savePlot" when trying to save the third of 3 open graph windows. After successfully saving and closing the first two windows I receive an "Invalid device number in savePlot" error. The following is copied and pasted from an example session to illustrate the behaviour: > windows() > hist(rnorm(100)) > windows()

R-help, Whenever I try to save a plot with "savePlot" the file is not stored in my hard disk with the selected format. Several formats are set and none of them works. I just get the file name with missing extension and it can't be open with programs like Paint and Microsoft Photo Editor Th only one able to open it is "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" plot(rnorm(10))

Hi all, I am using savePlot in a loop for saving several graph but I get some graph in 553x552, some other in 1920x1119. How comes ? My data are almost all the same (same label, same xlim / ylim, almost same data. Only the color changes). I save them in bmp. Thanks for your help. Christophe

Hi the list, I used savePlot to export some eps graph but it seems that the graph file hold a bug. I include the graph.eps in a LaTeX file. Running latex is ok. But the dvi file contain some mistake, the graph overprint on some text and hide it. Then, when I try to convert it to another format, I get : Ignoring remaining special text following unkown PS operator: "SDict" Remainder

Hi R, Does 'savePlot' will not work in the batch mode? I get the below error: > x=c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7) > hist(x) > savePlot("D:\\Test\\histo",type="jpeg") Error in savePlot("D:\\Test\\histo", type = "jpeg") : can only copy from 'windows' devices Execution halted The same works in the interactive mode.

Hi, A Windows user asked me a question and I believe this is a bug of R 3.0.0 under Windows: > plot(1:10) > savePlot('test.wmf') Error in .External(C_savePlot, device, filename, type, restoreConsole) : Incorrect number of arguments (4), expecting 3 for 'savePlot' > sessionInfo() R version 3.0.0 (2013-04-03) Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) locale: [1]

Plaintive squeak: Why the change? Some OS's and desktops use the extension, so forgetting it causes trouble. The new default filename keeps a filetype (as before) but the user now has to type a filetype twice (once as the type, once as extension) to get the same effect fo rtheir own filenames. And the extension isn't then checked for consistency with valid file types, so it can be

Buenas tardes: Hasta ahora he utilizado savePlot() en ejecuciones de R en Windows, donde lo que hago es grabar la ventana de gráficos mediante dev.cur() en formato pdf. Concretamente éste es el código: > savePlot(filename = ruta_pdf, type = "pdf", device = dev.cur(), restoreConsole = TRUE) Este comando está dentro de un bucle de "n" ejecuciones, por lo que guardo un pdf por

Hello, When I use savePlot(filename="xy",type="eps") or savePlot(filename="xy",type="wmf") , I get the following error: Error in grid.Call("L_textBounds", as.graphicsAnnot(x$label), x$x, x$y, : Polygon edge not found (zero-width or zero-height?) This doesn't occur when I change the type to "jpeg" or "bmp". Can

This occurred after I installed R x64 2.13.1 on Windows: savePlot("95%.winners.wmf") saves the file as: "951nners.wmf" Is this the correct behavior, or have I bungled something?

Hi, I would like to save a plot without opening the device window (no display). Is it possible ? How can I do it ?

Platform: Windows R version: 2.1.1 This is a request that in the savePlot function, type="eps" be included in the next release. This would be an alias for type="ps" but with a different file extension. Rationale: The current version of R outputs excellent EPS files. It is strictly correct to call these Postscript files, as EPS is a subset of PS. However, on Windows,

This is a simple problem that has stumped me: I'm trying to loop through a few dozen variable names in graphs. I've tried various approaches like this: attach(mydata) ivs <- c("oneiv", "anotheriv", "yetanotheriv") dvs <- c("onedv", "anotherdv", "yetanotherdv") for (iv in ivs) { for (dv in dvs) { graphname <- paste(iv,

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')

Greetings, I am a new user of R but a long time fan of S (Splus) and have installed R version 0.65.1 on a Windows NT machine. I would like to save plots as gif files and have been using savePlot() with some success. I found that savePlot would not work without modification, namely decrementing the device by 1 before calling the internal routine that does the conversion. Once that change was

Hi all, What is the right portable way to save graphics in batch mode? Remarks: 1. Problem is STFWed and RTFMed. In particular a short note about png() is found in R-FAQ. In fact, there were stated that png() is not reliable under Linux in batch mode. 2. savePlot under windows is quite convenient, but not supplied under Linux. 3. pdf() + postscript() < savePlot()

Hello, I am basically using a script that is designed to first create an rgl 3d scatter plot followed by a barplot on the same data. After this is done, the program is to first save the barplot as a .tiff file then to save the rgl 3d graph as a .png file. Once this is done, it is to repeat this 3d plot and barplot combo with saving 49 more times. The plotting script excerpt will be posted at the

Greetings R-wizards: For historical reasons I have filenames with the character "?" and have successfully used "\u00e2" in its place, with the hoped-for result on all my on-screen plots. However since R2.7.0 I have trouble with savePlot() when the file name includes that character as it does in this example: savePlot(paste("diagnostic ? vs a ", file.label,
