A professor here at Vanderbilt sent me the following code. Each of
the text strings should right justify against the center vertical
bar, but because of font issues it doesn't. I understand that there
are workarounds, but I was just curious if this was consistent
across all platforms. On linux with R 2.7.1 and R-trunk (r46103),
both acrobat reader 8 and kpdf render it incorrectly. How about Mac
or Windows? Is this a platform config issue, or something else?
pdf('temp.pdf', width=11, height=8.5)
plot(0,0,xlim=c(0,1),ylim=c(0,1),type='n')
abline(v=.5)
# pos=2 is for right-alignment
text(0.5,0.9, 'Yo', pos=2)
text(0.5,0.8, 'Yo Yo', pos=2)
text(0.5,0.7, 'Yo Yo Yo', pos=2)
text(0.5,0.6, 'Yo Yo Yo Yo', pos=2)
text(0.5,0.5, 'Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo', pos=2)
text(0.5,0.4, 'Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo', pos=2)
text(0.5,0.3, 'Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo', pos=2)
dev.off()
Did a quick check on my Imac --- both Preview and Adobe Reader render
the
result incorrectly; the text string encroach increasingly upon the
vertical
line as the number of ``Yo's'' increases. It renders fine on the on-
screen
X11 device.
