Please send reproducible code to back that up. I don't believe it is anything to do with Rterm.exe vs Rgui.exe, as the phenomenon seems to occur randomly under either. I tested 1.9.0 and 1.9.1 alpha (2004-06-06). Note also that this seems only to occur for grid and lattice plots, and happens (when it happens) when copying to at least metafile and pdf devices. > Therefore, I'm including "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" in the list of addresses > to this email. > > Spencer Graves > > Irk Eddelbuettel wrote: > > >On Sun, Jun 06, 2004 at 12:26:45PM -0700, Spencer Graves wrote: > > > > > >> Using R 1.9.1 alpha via XEmacs with ESS under Windows 2000, I did Which day's `R 1.9.1 alpha'? > >>the following: > >> > >> library(lattice) > >> xyplot(1~1) > >> > >> I got the plot in a separate window, from which I did File -> Copy > >>to the clipboard -> as a metafile.
