Re: [R] Problems to get a ctree plot (library party) in a file via jpeg/png

2006-03-02 Thread Achim Zeileis 
Carlos:

 I am using library party and I have found a curious/strange behaviour when
 trying to save the output of a ctree in a file via jpeg/png command.

thanks for reporting this. We've seen this problem before with the vcd
package. The reason is that the default background is usually
transparent whereas for jpeg() and png() devices it is white. That has
the effect that the
  grid.rect()
command at the end of node_boxplot() not only draws the bounding rectangle
but also fills it with white, thus hiding the actual boxplots. The fix
is to use
  grid.rect(gp = gpar(fill = transparent))
instead. We'll commit a fixed party to CRAN asap.

Best wishes,
Z

[R] Problems to get a ctree plot (library party) in a file via jpeg/png

2006-03-01 Thread Carlos Ortega 
Hello All,

I am using library party and I have found a curious/strange behaviour when
trying to save the output of a ctree in a file via jpeg/png command.

If you use:


library(party)
airq - subset(airquality, !is.na(Ozone))
airct - ctree(Ozone ~ ., data = airq)
plot(airct, terminal_panel = node_boxplot, drop_terminal = FALSE)
###

you get a perfect and nice graph, but when you try the equivalent but trying
to put the output in a file:

#
library(party)
airq - subset(airquality, !is.na(Ozone))
airct - ctree(Ozone ~ ., data = airq)

jpeg(filename = Rplot%03d.jpg, width = 1400, height = 800,
 pointsize = 12, quality = 75, bg = white, res = NA)
  plot(airct, terminal_panel = node_boxplot, drop_terminal = FALSE)
 dev.off()
 

you will see that the boxplots at the terminal nodes do not appear...

On the other hand, when you try a similar approach with

##
 plot(airct, terminal_panel = node_boxplot, drop_terminal = FALSE)
  savePlot(file=paste(directorio,PartyTree,sep=),type=jpeg, device=
dev.cur())
  dev.off()
#

you get everything perfectly fine, although with a lower resolution.

I am using the latest version available of your library (0.8-1) in a Windows
box.

Do you know if this is the expected behaviour or there is something abnormal
?

I checked this problem directly with the package creators/maintainers and
they recommended to post it here.
They have also provided very kindly a workaround while it is finally
corrected.

Thanks,
Carlos Ortega.
