grid does not produce output. For example, the following code should print the
R logo to the window() device:
library(grid)
library(png)
img.path<- system.file("img", "Rlogo.png", package="png")
bg<- readPNG(img.path)
background<- rasterGrob(unclass(bg))
grid.draw(background)
I, however, see nothing. Is there a flag or option I should be using on Windows
Server 2008 R2 to enable grid output?
This is a known issue with the Remote Desktop Connection. The raster
images are not shown via that setup. It works if you work locally at the
server or is you plot into another device (i.e. a pdf file or so).

For clarity, the following is how I am actually using images in R plots. This
code works on my laptop (R 2.15.0, ggplot2 0.8.9):
library(ggplot2)
library(grid)
library(maps)
library(mapproj)
library(png)
library(RgoogleMaps)
counties<- map_data("county", region="virginia")
states<- map_data("state")
tmp<- tempfile(fileext=".png")
bg<- GetMap.bbox(range(counties$long), range(counties$lat), destfile=tmp,
maptype="satellite", format="png32")
background<- readPNG(tmp)
background<- rasterGrob(unclass(background))
ggplot(counties, aes(long, lat)) +
coord_map(xlim=c(bg$BBOX$ll[2], bg$BBOX$ur[2]), ylim=c(bg$BBOX$ll[1],
bg$BBOX$ur[1])) +
geom_path(aes(group=group), color="darkgrey") +
geom_path(data=states, aes(group=group), color="white", size=1) +
opts(axis.line=theme_blank(),
axis.text.x=theme_blank(),
axis.text.y=theme_blank(),
axis.ticks=theme_blank(),
axis.title.x=theme_blank(),
axis.title.y=theme_blank(),
axis.ticks.length=unit(0, "lines"),
axis.ticks.margin=unit(0, "lines"),
panel.border=theme_blank(),
panel.background=function(...)background,
panel.grid.major=theme_blank(),
panel.grid.minor=theme_blank(),
panel.margin=unit(0, "lines"),
legend.position="none",
legend.title=theme_blank(),
legend.background=theme_blank(),
plot.margin=unit(0*c(-1.5, -1.5, -1.5, -1.5), "lines"))
Thank you,
Patrick
