dear R wizards:
is it possible to use a postscript font symbol as a plot symbol? in
particular, I want to use the four postscript symbols for playing cards
(club, heart, spade, diamond) as points. In LaTeX, these four are
\Pisymbol{psy}{"A7} \Pisymbol{psy}{"A8}
\Pisymbol{psy}{"A9} \Pisymbol{psy}{"A10}
and what I would love to do is place them, at say, (x=1,y=1),
(x=2,y=2), (x=3,y=3) and (x=4,y=4). Help appreciated---or merely a
note that this is impossible.
Font 5 is the symbol font, so
plot(1:5, type="n")
points(1:4, 1:4, pch=167:170, font=5)
does this (not in that order, but you can make the mapping from that plot).
