Dear all, I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but I have some unexplained behaviour when saving a lattice graph including text to a pdf file. The text seems to move around. It must have something to do with the way coordinates are set in devices other than jpg.
Any suggestions would be helpful Willem Here is some example code setwd("c:/willem/research/misc") today <- format(Sys.Date(),"%Y%m%d") x <- runif(500) y <- rnorm(500) foo <- data.frame(x = x, y = y, z = rep(c("a","b"),250)) require(lattice) xyplot(x~y|z,data=foo) panel.text(370,470,"silly graph",cex=1.2,font=2) savePlot(paste(today, "jpgplot",sep="_"),type="jpg") # this plots fine and text is as on the screen savePlot(paste(today, "pdfplot",sep="_"),type="pdf") # text has moved pdf(paste(today,"pdfplot2.pdf",sep="_")) # no difference using pdf xyplot(x~y|z,data=foo) panel.text(370,470,"silly graph",cex=1.2,font=2) dev.off() # There is also no difference _ platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch i386 os mingw32 system i386, mingw32 status major 2 minor 9.0 year 2009 month 04 day 17 svn rev 48333 language R version.string R version 2.9.0 (2009-04-17) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. R.W.
