I have encountered a problem generating an SVG file from a CSV file using R on the Mac. When I invoke the exact same script on two different Linux machines things work fine. Here is the script
Sys.setenv(TZ="US/Pacific") w<-read.csv("WeightThru2018.csv") x<-as.Date(w$Date, "%m/%d/%y") y<-w$Weight For some reason svg combined with plot do not work on the Mac svg("WeightThrough2018.svg") plot(x,y, type="l") pdf("WeightThrough2018.pdf") plot(x,y, type="l") jpeg("WeightThrough2018.jpg") plot(x,y, type="l") png("WeightThrough2018.png") plot(x,y, type="l") dev.off() The file, WeightThru2018.csv, consists of lines, each of which has a date followed by a weight. Here is the very beginning of the file Date,Weight 6/4/00,189 6/5/00,191 6/6/00,191 6/7/00,191 6/9/00,190 When I run the script on the Mac, the system hangs with the first plot command (after the call to the sag function) When I comment out the line with the svg function and the first plot command, things run fine on the Mac and the PDG, JPG and PNG files are generated. When I run the script with no lines commented out on my Linux machines, things work fine. When I enter the commands interactively on the Mac, the system hangs (no error messages) with the first plot command. On the Mac I did verify that the variables x and y were being extracted properly. Has anyone else out there tried to generate an SVG file that was a plot of (x,y) data? I also found that, on the Mac, just running the plot command without preceding it will a call to sag, pdf, jpeg, or plot, worked fine and I could see the plot. SVG is a nice format, and I would like to be able to generate SVG files on the Mac.
