I have recently been introduced to R for win95 and have been impressed by
it. It seems to outperform S-Plus greatly. I have had 2 problems. I am
using visual basic to automate an analysis. The vis basic routine waits
for the creation of a data file then calls R to start the analysis. I have
placed the source() command in the rprofile file so it will be run
automatically. Output of the analysis is a graph. I have not been able to
get the postscript command to work. The command line that I am using
follows
postscript(file="c:/rdata/current.ps", paper="letter", landscape=TRUE,
family="Helvetica", pointsize=12,bg="white", fg="black")
Is the command incorrect or is there a larger problem with postscript()?
Will other graphical output formats such as the Windows Metafile be added?
I am also trying to use the q("no") command from within the script to quit
R. When I do this, R asks if I want to save the image anyway. I need R to
close itself after the script has been run. q("no") when entered at the
command line works as it should. Any suggestions?
Thanks
