Hi, I see different results in png() and pdf() for polypath() on Windows
when using the "winding" rule
## overlapping, both clock-wise
x <- cbind(c(.1, .1, .6, .6, NA, .4, .4, .9, .9),
c(.1, .6, .6, .1, NA, .4, .9, .9, .4))
pfun <- function() {
plot(x)
polypath(x * 0.8 + 0.2, rule = "winding", col = "#BEBEBE80")
polypath(x, rule = "winding", col = "#BEBEBE80")
}
## output "windows.png/pdf" or "unix.png/pdf"
label <- .Platform$OS.type
png(sprintf("%s.png", label))
pfun()
dev.off()
pdf(sprintf("%s.pdf", label))
pfun()
dev.off()
Visually, the result in the "windows.png" file is as if the "evenodd" rule
was specified. All other examples unix.pdf, unix.png, windows.pdf give me
the expected result - which is "all bounded regions shaded grey, with two
tones for the different regions of overlap". The unexpected result is the
completely transparent region.
Is this a known/expected difference on Windows? I see the unexpected
result in 3.3.1 and in R version 3.3.1 Patched (2016-07-27 r70991) on
Windows.
Cheers, Mike.
