Is there an easy way to include larger amounts of text in a plot? I need to include a text report in a pdf file that is automtically created by a R script.
I open a pdf device, then create several plots which are nicely output each on a page in the resulting pdf file, then I want to append page(s) that contain only text. The best I came up with is the following: # create a new page frame() # setup some dummy coordinate system plot.window(c(0,10),c(0,10)) # read the report as whole file (vector of lines) f <- readLines(filename) # concatenate the first 50 lines into on string with lines separated by \n newline t <- paste(f[1:50], collapse="\n") # output text text(0, 5, t, pos=4, cex=0.8, xpd=NA) The problem is that the text is always centered in some way (with pos = 4 vertically, and I cant easily put it into several pages. Is there an easier way to do this that I overlooked? For automation reasons I would like to have R output the text directly into the pdf.
