Dear List,
Usually I save my current graphics device window to a pdf file. Before
2.7.0 the resulting file was with transparent background (as desired)
when I set bg="transparent" for the current on-screen graphics device
before plotting.
Now this is different. I already read about the new quartz device in
the help file. And as far as I understood, only the canvas is supposed
to be opaque and not the background of the plot (at least when it is
set to "transparent" via par(bg="transparent") or via
quartz(bg="transparent")). So when it comes to saving the plot from
the current on-screen graphics device I expect the resulting graphic
file to have a transparent background. This was the former behavior
(until 2.6.2). But now the background color of the canvas seems to be
taken as the background of the resulting pdf.
Only with quartz.save() I can get a transparent background. Is there a
possibility to save the active on-screen graphics device to a file
with transparent background? Even better would be the possibility to
cmd-c / cmd-v a plot with transparent background to use in other
applications (e.g. keynote and such).
Thanks for your help.
Best regards
Gerald
