R-Help, I discovered a "mis-feature" is ghostscript, which is used by the bitmap function. It seems that specifying file names in the form "~/abc.png" rather than "/home/directory/abc.png" causes my GS to crash when I open the bitmap device on my Linux box.
The easiest solution would seem to be to intercept any file names in the form "~/abc.png" and replace the "~" with the user's home directory. I'm sure I could come up with something involving regular expressions and system calls to do this in Linux, but even that might not be system independent. So, I wanted to see if anyone knew of a native R solution of converting "~" to its full path expansion.
