[R] in other words Re: How to use fixed-width fonts such as courier in R

2005-05-24 Thread Xiang Li
the problem is how to use both courier bold font for axis and arial
bold font for labelling.  If I use familiy = courier in postscript,
everything will become courier fonts ..

I noticed that in postscirpt help page, we can customize a family such as
family = c(CM_regular_10.afm,CM_boldx_10.afm, cmti10.afm,
cmbxti10.afm, CM_symbol_10.afm;

However, I tried many times, and just don't know the symbol used in R for
courier bold or arial bold, etc.



 Hi,
   I am trying to use Arial bold for labelling (font.lab =2), and use
 the fixed-width Courier bold for axis. I will export the plot to .ps
 format. I have been trying to use font.axis = 11, but that doesn't work
 when I exported the plot to a .ps file.

   I have been trying hard to read the help page of postscript these few
 days, but didn't get the courier font yet.  Can you please help me
 figure out how I should use postscript? Thanks!

 Best

 Sean

 Hi

 Does this do what you want?

 postscript(example.ps, fonts=c(sans, mono))
 plot(1:10, axes=FALSE, ann=FALSE)
 par(family=sans) # By default Helvetica which is like Arial
 title(xlab=sans serif axis label)
 title(ylab=bold sans serif axis label, font.lab=2)
 par(family=mono) # By default Courier
 axis(1,
   at=seq(2, 8, 2),
   label=c(mono, space, tick, labels))
 axis(2,
   at=seq(2, 10, 2),
   label=c(bold, mono, space, tick, labels),
   font.axis=2)
 box()
 dev.off()
