That sound about right. I would probably do some computations first to determine how much space I would need etc. A key thing I think would be to choose a good coordinate system, that would make placing the text and lines easier. I would also probably write minifunctions, that place a whole "y plus its lines" etc. Now, if you want kerning on the letters, that probably gets trickier. But as long as you are willing to assume a fixed horizontal space for each letter, I see no problems. (In your case, for instance, I would probably choose the x dimensions to go from 0 to 13, and place the letters each at the coordinates 1 through 12, centered). > Joh > <sequence.png> > Haris Skiadas Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Hanover College ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
