I found that interesting, particularly this part:
For example, on Linux do this:
dev.control(displaylist="enable") # enable display list
plot(1:10)
myplot <- recordPlot() # load displaylist into variable
save(myplot, file="myplot", ascii=TRUE)
Send the ascii file, myplot, to the Windows machine and on Windows do this:
dev.control(displaylist="enable") # enable display list
load("myplot")
myplot # displays the plot
savePlot("myplot", type="wmf") # saves current plot as wmf
I tried that, but I was never able to load the myplot in the Windows
R. I always got a message about a syntax error to do with ' ' but I
was unable to work out what the problem was. I thought it was because
the transfer to Windows wasn't binary, but that wasn't the problem.
I was unable to get the thread view at that archive to function so I
was unable to see if there were any follow ups which offered an
explanation.
R has changed quite a bit in the years since then, so it might be that
something needs to be done differently with more recent versions.
Has anyone done this recently?
