Dear all,
I'm running into a rather strange problem that hasn't happened before
R-1.4.0. If I make a plot on a window() device, and use the menu to either
save to a metafile or copy to clipboard as a metafile, I get an error
message in the R console:
Error: A metafile can store only one figure.
This only happens when the lattice (and grid) package is attached,
regardless of whether the plot is Trellis or non-Trellis. If I detach both
lattice and grid, and make the plot on a fresh window() device, I have no
problem getting the metafile. If I try trellis.device(win.metafile,
"try.emf", bg="white"), I get
Error in if (color) { : argument is not interpretable as logical
but the device is openned. If I try to make a trellis plot, I get
Error in grid.newpage() : A metafile can store only one figure.
Any idea how to get around this problem? TIA!!
Cheers,
Andy
