Colleagues I am still struggling to produce SVG file output in R. I initially started with RSvgDevice package. I produced a simple graphic from an example in the documentation and it imported into Inkscape fine and could be edited. However, my application involves plotting bathymetry and coastlines with the PBSmapping, and the plots contain a lot of data. Although I can still produce a file, and the screen graphic looks fine, Inkscape will not load the 1.8 MB file. I wasn't sure if the problem was with Inkscape or with the SVG file. I thought I'd try the Cairo package to see if RSvgDevice was failing because of the file size. I've install Cairo and used update.packages() to get the 1.3-5 version which has the SVG device driver. However, the Cairo.capabilities() function returns true for png, jpeg, and x11, but false for svg, ps, pdf and tiff. The error message returned from the call to Cairo_svg() is "Cairo compiled without svg device". So my question is: How do you to compile Cairo with the svg device? Do you have to do this from source with some --enabled switch? The install.packages() and update.packages() does not seem to do it?
