I just did "plot(1:2)" in Rgui.exe, and that copied fine as a metafile into MS Word via the clipboard.
Then I exited and restarted Rterm.exe under ESS and tried it again. This time, I got a blank image copied into MS Word. However, after I modified the Lattice defaults via, "trellis.par.set('background', list('white')); trellis.par.set('plot.symbol', list(cex=0.8, col=1, font=1, pch=1))", I was able to copy the results of "xyplot(1~1)" as a metafile into Word. Unfortunately, when I tried modifying the Lattice defaults the same way under Rgui.exe. I again got a blank image copied into Word.
hope this helps. spencer graves

Yes, definitely. Can someone distill this down to code that uses only the base packages (e.g. just grid)? Lattice is a recommended package, so I'd refer you to its maintainer, but it's probably something in a base package that's going wrong.
Once you've done that, please submit it as a bug report with reproducible code. I've never looked at the Windows metafile device driver, so it's unlikely I'll fix this by 1.9.1, but it is something that should be fixed.

I agree: It sounds like a bug, as you said, Irk, in that Rgui.exe cannot copy a metafile to the clipboard, at least under MS Windows 2000, 5.00.2195, Service Pack 3, even though Rterm.exe can. Therefore, I'm including "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" in the list of addresses to this email.

Using R 1.9.1 alpha via XEmacs with ESS under Windows 2000, I did 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. I then changed to MS Word, and it pasted fine.
Ok.
When I started R 1.9.1 alpha directly (without XEmacs) and tried the same thing, I got a standard lattice plot. However, when I tried File -> Copy to the clipboard -> as a metafile, I got a blank plot when copying into MS Word. When I copied as a bitmap, it came through fine. However, I suspect that is unacceptable.
Not ok.
But isn't it a bug in the windows version of R if the Rgui.exe cannot copy
to the clipboard where Rterm.exe can?
I may be missing some subtle detail, though... Irk
