[Rd] Re: RFC: package pixmap

[Agustin Lobo]

Hi! I'm testing pixmap. I've found the following:

> dim(lissN543)
[1] 270 900   3
>a <- pixmap(lissN543/255,ncol=900,nrow=270,type="rgb")
> dim(a)
[1] 270 900   3
> 
>plot.pixmap(a)

...and I get the image as a vertical rectangle (I was expecting an
horizontal rectangle). Is this an error or am I doing something 
wrong?

Agus
