[BioC] heatmap output problems in pdf

[Saroj K Mohapatra]

Hi Pete:

It is difficult for others to know what the problem is unless you send some code that would reproduce the error. For example, the following three lines would create a pdf document (in the working directory) with the image of a plot.

> pdf(file="temp.pdf")
> plot(1:10)
> dev.off()

I have checked; the file opens outside of R with the expected image.

You can check if you are able to run this code and create a plot. If not, send all of the following:
1. the code
2. the R outputs and 
3. output of the command sessionInfo() [look at an example below]

Best,

Saroj

Dear List,

I am using heatmap to output a microarray image to a pdf file. I get an
error message when I do this:

Error: PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table...
Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary
Error: Couldn't read xref table

The file opens fine in default mode "X11 I think".

1) Do people generally output to pdfs?
2) Is there a fix? If not what other formats to people output their graphics
to in order to present them?

TIA
