Colleagues,
I am using R to assemble RTF documents (which are plain text). I need to embed
a JPEG graphic that was created with R. I presume that the steps need to be:
a. read the file into R
b. convert the object to HEX format
c. write the converted object to a textfile.
If I read the file into R using readLines, I get the following (only the first
5 lines shown):
> > readLines("/path/to/file")
> [1] "\xff\xd8\xff\xe0"
>
>
>
>
> [2] "\002\xa3\003\001\""
>
>
>
>
> [3] "\v\xff\xc4"
>
>
>
>
> [4]
> "\026\027\030\031\032%&'()*456789:CDEFGHIJSTUVWXYZcdefghijstuvwxyz\x83\x84\x85\x86\x87\x88\x89\x8a\x92\x93\x94\x95\x96\x97\x98\x99\x9a\xa2\xa3\xa4\xa5\xa6\xa7\xa8\xa9\xaa\xb2\xb3\xb4\xb5\xb6\xb7\xb8\xb9\xba\xc2\xc3\xc4\xc5\xc6\xc7\xc8\xc9\xca\xd2\xd3\xd4\xd5\xd6\xd7\xd8\xd9\xda\xe1\xe2\xe3\xe4\xe5\xe6\xe7\xe8\xe9\xea\xf1\xf2\xf3\xf4\xf5\xf6\xf7\xf8\xf9\xfa\xff\xc4"

and I also receive a number of warning messages:

I assume (naively) that I need some other approach to reading the file. I also
presume (again, naively) that once I have read the file successfully, I can
convert the contents to hex format. However, it is not obvious to me what
approach should be used to read the file. I found the command read.jpeg (in
rimage; of note, I needed to use the Windows version because the OSX version
appears to be broken). However, this command creates an "imagematrix", which
does not appear to be what I need.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
