Hi,
is there a reason that the quartz device does not like the "~" in
file names, whereas most functions handling files (including pdf() )
have no problem with it?
Yes.
[Hint: no one contributed a patch for this wishlist item. The authors
of mainstream graphics devices were generous enough to add tilde
expansion: but you failed to thank them! Do remember that the people
who gave you the gift of R are listening.]
The author of pdf().
Thus
pdf(file="/Users/dchabot/Documents/Programmes R/test.pdf", type="pdf", width=6,
height=5) # works
pdf(file=~/Documents/Programmes R/test.pdf", type="pdf", width=6, height=5) #
works
quartz(file="~/Documents/Programmes R/test.pdf", type="pdf", width=6, height=5)
# does not work
quartz(file="/Users/dchabot/Documents/Programmes R/test.pdf", type="pdf",
width=6, height=5) # works
Cheers,
Denis
