[R-SIG-Mac] [R] Sweave, lty = 3 line incorect in pdf output

[Ken Knoblauch]

Achim.

Indeed, you are right.  That is where the problem is.
Thanks for helping localize it a bit further.
So, I should cc this to the r-sig-mac list.

For the r-sig-mac list, here is the original post on the r-help

https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2010-February/227832.html

The pdf() command (at least on my Mac :( )  appears to have
a problem in displaying dotted lines (lty = 3).
Short example,

pdf(file = "test.pdf", height = 6, width = 6)

x <- 1:10
plot(x, type = "l", lty = 3, lwd = 3)
lines(x, 0.5 * x, type = "l")

dev.off()

Hopefully, this is not yet another instance of R-Mac-FAQ 12.10
but something more easily treated.
