Hello R Developers, Dear R-developers,
I ran some standard tests with currently (today morning) compiled R release candidate in Linux R 2.12.1 RC (2010-12-13 r53843). Some of these tests used plot.TukeyHSD function. This worked OK on the screen (X11 device), but PostScript file could not be rendered. The following example had the problem with me: postscript(file="tukeyplot.ps") example(plot.TukeyHSD) dev.off() I couldn't view the resulting file with evince in Linux nor in the standard Preview in MacOS. When I compared the generated "tukeyplot.ps" to the same file generated with an older R in my Mac, I found one difference: $ diff -U2 oldtukeyplot.ps /Volumes/TIKKU/tukeyplot.ps --- oldtukeyplot.ps 2010-12-14 12:06:07.000000000 +0200 +++ /Volumes/TIKKU/tukeyplot.ps 2010-12-14 12:13:32.000000000 +0200 @@ -172,5 +172,5 @@ 0 setgray 0.00 setlinewidth -[ 3.00 5.00] 0 setdash +[ 0.00 0.00] 0 setdash np 660.06 91.44 m Editing the changed line to its old value "[ 3.00 5.00] 0 setdash" also fixed the problem both in Linux and in Mac. Evidently something has changed, and probably somewhere else than in plot.TukeyHSD (which hasn't changed since r51093 in trunk and never in R-2-12-branch). I know nothing about PostScript so that I cannot say anything more (and I know viewers can fail with standard conforming PostScript but it is a bit disconcerting that two viewers fail when they worked earlier).
