Hi all
I am using R to produce postscript pictures via the postscript command. I have never had any problems... until now, when I want to inlcude my .ps file is a LaTeX document *without* a white background. (If it's important, I'm using the prosper class with the whitecross option, so the background in blue.)
I would like my .ps file to have a white background. If I read the help correctly (?postscript), this is achieved using bg="white", either in the call to postscript or via ps.options.
However, whenever I do so, and include my .ps file in my LaTeX document, it appears transparent (I see the blue background, and the black text on the figure is hard to read.)
I have read the help (at least what I thought was relevant) and searched the mail archives but can't find any reference to this problem.
Help appreciated.
P.
It works for me as follows:
postscript(.....your.settings.....) par(bg = "white") plot(.....anything.....) dev.off()
if it doesn't for you, you might want to try out a more recent version of R (R-1.8.1 is recent, the R-1.9.0 beta for people who want to help to make R-1.9.0 as stable as possible).
