Hi Folks, I see that people have been discussing the win.metafile device on the list since before 2000.
Yet I have never seen this on a Linux distribution of R. Is this because the device works by making calls (GPL calls of course!) to a proprietary Windows library? In that case I can understand that it would be far from kosher to implement it on Linux. But I'd like confirmation. I must say that being able to produce Windows metafiles on Linux would help to bridge the gap between Linux and Windows: often one needs to produce a graphic which will be imported into a Windows application, but while PNG and the like are quite nice they don't have the merit of being a vector format, and don't scale well. Thanks, Ted. -------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fax-to-email: +44 (0)870 167 1972 Date: 20-Oct-03 Time: 03:03:45 ------------------------------ XFMail ------------------------------ ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help
