I can confirm the problem in a current download, which labels itself
as 2.10.0 alpha (2009-10-08 r49995), R for Mac OS X GUI 1.30-devel
Leopard build 32-bit.
You can get to the help system by running help.start(), but internal
requests like ?plot will still go to the internal browser, which
isn't working.
Thanks - I'll look into this.
You can work around the bug by deleting the AQUA section of
utils:::print.help_files_with_topic, e.g. by doing as follows:
print.help_files_with_topic - utils:::print.help_files_with_topic
and then deleting the lines
if (.Platform$GUI == AQUA) {
.Internal(aqua.custom.print(help-files, x))
return(invisible(x))
}
from your copy of print.help_files_with_topic.
One other problem with the installer: by default it installed both
32 and 64 bit versions, but R wouldn't start until I re-installed
without the 64 bit version. I'm using Leopard 10.5.8 on an old
Intel Core Duo Macbook. Can the installer detect that 64 bit
executables are not supported, and not install it?
It *is* checking the CPU and adjusting the installation accordingly,
but there is some conflict in the automatically generated installer --
it's not present when I create the package manually so it will need
some more investigation...
Thanks,
Simon

[R-SIG-Mac] tiff output on Mac
Dear R Mac folks,
I have not seen a thread on this so I thought I would get some input
regarding tiff output on a Mac.
I am currently running OS 10.6.1 and R 2.9.2 GUI 1.29 Tiger build 32-bit (5464).
I realize that the easiest way to save a plot is to select File, Save
As. Which outputs a .pdf file. However, if I insert this graphic into
Microsoft Word and send it to a friend on Windows the file gets
mangled (the quality is decreased significantly). So I am working on
just writing high quality tiff files which seem to display well all on
both platforms. Tiffs also seems to be one of the preferred file types
for many journals in my field.
Here are the options I have found that work on Macs.
# requires Ghostscript
bitmap(file=MacTest.tiff, type = tifflzw,
height = 7, width = 7, res = 600,
units = in)
plot(rpois(1:40,10))
dev.off()
tiff('Mactest.tiff', width = 5, height = 5, units = 'in', res = 600)
plot(rpois(1:100,1))
dev.off()
quartz(height = 7, width = 7, type = 'tiff', file = 'MacTest.tiff',bg
= 'white',dpi = 600)
hist(rpois(1:100,1))
dev.off()
hist(rpois(1:100,1))
# line are not all dark in output, not sure which tiff type to use...
dev2bitmap(file = 'MacTest.tiff', type = 'tiff24nc', height = 7, width
= 7, res = 600,
units = 'in')
I have noticed that for bitmap and tiff the font and symbol size seems
to differ between the R session plot and the output plot.
Are there other graphic output options that I am missing here? Any
tips would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Michael

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] tiff output on Mac
If you look at:
?png# you will see several other options
I will say that the advice on that page to use capabilities() to
determine which of these options is supported seems to be at least
misleading in that tiff comes back FALSE but the tiff device accepts
input without complaint and produces output that Preview.app reads.

Another option, ... handle the translation to a tiff file by using
Preview of hte saved pdf and then the Grab.app, or just Grab the
quartz window. That method lets me minimize the white space in the
margins. Tiff is the saved format from Grab.

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] tiff output
Personally I'd actually recommend saving the graphic in whatever is the
highest-quality format you can, then open it in GraphicConverter and use
that app to save a copy in tiff format.
It is a shame that there's still no tiff file tool in R (rtiff is old,
bonged up, and ugly :-( ). Matlab and GraphicConverter (and I believe
GIMP) have no problem opening converting tiffs. We just need some
energetic R-fan to code up a tool.

This is very helpful. I was not aware of quartz.save() or the Grab utility.
Also I will have another look at the png format.

Here are the options I have found that work on Macs.
# requires Ghostscript
bitmap(file=MacTest.tiff, type = tifflzw,
height = 7, width = 7, res = 600,
units = in)
plot(rpois(1:40,10))
dev.off()
tiff('Mactest.tiff', width = 5, height = 5, units = 'in', res = 600)
plot(rpois(1:100,1))
dev.off()
quartz(height = 7, width = 7, type = 'tiff', file = 'MacTest.tiff',bg
= 'white',dpi = 600)
hist(rpois(1:100,1))
dev.off()
hist(rpois(1:100,1))
# line are not all dark in output, not sure which tiff type to use...
dev2bitmap(file = 'MacTest.tiff', type = 'tiff24nc', height = 7, width
= 7, res = 600,
units = 'in')
I have noticed that for bitmap and tiff the font and symbol size seems
to differ between the R session plot and the output plot.
Are there other graphic output options that I am missing here? Any
tips would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
