[R] lattice problems under Win2K and R-1.4.0

[Thomas Stockton]

I'm having problems copying and saving lattice graphs using R-1.4.0 under
Win2k. It seems I've see this alluded to recently in R-help.

If I do the following example:

> data(quakes)
> xyplot(long ~ lat , data = quakes)

And then try to copy or save the graph as either a metafile or bitmap or if
I use any of the bitmap/metafile devices via (for example)

> png(file="mygraph.png")
> data(quakes)
> xyplot(long ~ lat , data = quakes)
> dev.off()

I get the following type of error:
Error in grid.newpage() : A png file can store only one figure.

or for a metafile:

Error: A metafile can store only one figure.

This happens using R-1.4.0 installed using SetupR.exe and under R-1.4.0 I
make myself.

Any help with this is much appreciated.

On another note. Is anyone working on an svg graphics for R. Myself and a
co-worker have developed svg bubble plots with gis underlays in R and I'm
wondering about the possibilities of a more generic svg graphic driver.


Thanks!
