Re: [Rd] Bug in axis labels (PR#7860)
This is fixed now, in R-patched and R-devel. Duncan Murdoch [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Bob O'hara wrote: I'm a bit reluctant to call anything a bug: I know it's usually my incompetence instead. In this case, I can't see what else it is, although it may be a bug in Windows. The problem comes from trying to create a .png of a figure in Windows XP, with R2.1.0. On the screen it looks OK, but in the .png the text for the x label is smaller than for the y label. The problem seems to be created by using axes=F in plot(). Here's some code to demonstrate the problem: XX=1:5; YY=1:5 png(thing.png) par(mfrow=c(2,1)) plot(XX, YY, axes=F, xlab=X label, ylab=Y label) plot(XX, YY, xlab=X label, ylab=Y label) dev.off() I get a similar problem with bmp() and jpeg(), but not postscript() or pdf(). If I draw the figure in the window in R and then save it as a .png from the menu, the png looks fine. Everything works fine in R1.5.1 (I know, I know!) on Debian Linux, which is why I'm reporting this as a Windows problem. I see the problem in the first figure, and it's still there in a recent r-devel build. My test was also on Windows. Since png() uses the Windows graphics driver, it does look like an R bug in the Windows graphics driver, but I'd like to hear from someone on a different platform...
