[BioC] Question about VennDiagram package

[Steve Lianoglou]

Hi,

Perhaps using absolute path for the `filename` argument (eg.
`/Users/YOU/Desktop/single_Venn.tiff`) instead of relying on a
`setwd()` call ("maybe the tilde-expansion thing isn't working in your
script?).

Anyway, using an absolute path for the file will avoid you having to
guess where to look -- it'll either be where you (unambiguously) told
it to be, or it won't.

Now, I am trying to make new VennDiagrams with new data (on an updated version of R) and am having an issue. I can't find the output file (i.e., the "VennDiagram").  In the past, the file has been written to the working directory, but they are not there.  I have searched everywhere I can think to look (home directory, the entire computer) and no luck.

Has anyone been able to successfully produce VennDiagrams (that they can find) using VennDiagram in R 2.15.2? Also, I am implementing this in RStudio, but have also had the same problem from the old R console.   Any advice?
