Saving a plot to Windows metafile (wmf) now includes additional unwanted space
to the right of and below the plot.
The bug can be reproduced with the following code:
win.metafile("test.wmf")
plot(c(1,4,2,3))
dev.off()
# png output for comparison
png("test.png")
plot(c(1,4,2,3))
dev.off()
I expected the blank space around the plot in the wmf file to be minimal, and
comparable to that in the equivalent png file. This means such wmf files cannot
e.g. be programmatically inserted into PowerPoint slides because the extra
white space causes problems by covering other elements. They would have to be
cropped first.
It works as expected on
Windows 7
platform x86_64-w64-mingw32
version.string R version 3.4.0 (2017-04-21)
but not on
Windows 10
platform x86_64-w64-mingw32
version.string R version 3.4.1 (2017-06-30)
I don't know if this problem is related to R version issue or is a Windows 7/10
issue.
