thanks. I am now using R-patched 2008-05-18 r45723 . This is probably intended, but if not, I wanted to note it briefly: on the pdf output device, symbol 1 is always black, no matter what color is selected. symbols 10 and 13 contain black. symbol 19 is the replacement for symbol 1 that takes on the color.
forgive the semicolons: pdf.start("test"); # just encapsulates what you would expect. NM=25; plot( 0, type="n", ylim=c(0,6), xlim=c(0,NM), xlab="0-8", ylab="0-5" ); points( 1:NM, rep(1,NM), pch=1:NM, col="black"); points( 1:NM, rep(2,NM), pch=1:NM, col="green"); text( 1:NM, rep(3,NM), 1:NM, col=1:NM, cex=0.75); pdf.end(); /iaw On Sun, May 18, 2008 at 12:51 PM, hadley wickham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> if developers from the R graphics group are reading this, given that >> this strange output is not just my imagination, maybe it would be >> worthwhile to see if the R output pdf could be made more robust to >> avoid this "feature."
