Dear list,
A problem with creating pdf or postscript plots from an embedded R, and
in an environment where a locale is defined, was recently reported on
the rpy (Python->R interface) mailing list.
The problem appears to be that whenever the locale defines ',' as a
separator for the decimal part of a numerical value, the pdf/ps file
generated still has the ',' instead of a '.' causing problem when open
the resulting file with a postscript/pdf viewer.
Of course, an obvious workaround would be to force the locale for
numbers to C ( LC_NUMERIC = "C" ), but that could be overriding
internationalization features otherwise in R.
Any advice ?
Don't set LC_NUMERIC with R: ?Sys.setlocale did warn you about that.
It used to cause far more problems than this.
