Re: [R] Decimal point as a comma in postcript and pdf graphics

You need to label your axes with comma: R does not support , as a decimal point. Use explicit calls to axis(), or edit the postscript after production. No one has ever requested this before. Since the grammar would not allow , to be used as a decimal point for console input, it is awkward to allow it for output (but a few functions such as write.table do). PS: The problem of displaying the German umlauts, I have already solved: I have to use the WinAnsi.enc as the default encoding file. Which is odd in my opinion. It's not true! There is a problem with some PDF viewers, worked around a long time ago in R-patched: o Some PDF readers do not define PDFDocEncoding, so pdf()'s ISOLatin1 encoding is now derived from WinAnsi rather than PDFDocEncoding. It seems Adobe changed the standard since the version that the pdf() device was written to support, and some viewers are not backwards compatible. -- Brian D.
