Thanks, David,
utils::str(pdf.options()) returns exactly the same results
as yours. The colormodel is set to rgb already.
The reason I thought this is a bug is that the same plot function
+ col option works fine when pch=0 or other numbers, except for 1 or 16 (empty
or
solid circle) or any letter. Therefore, I have reason to believe that this is
not something related to general plotting setting. And also I reproduced the
same problem in different versions of R (both 2.4 and 2.8). Therefore, I don’t
think this is a problem with my specific R version.
Have you tried viewing the pdf file in another viewer, e.g. Acrobat?
Preview in MacOS 10.4 had a number of bugs in it; there are fewer in
10.5, I think.

Really belongs o R-SIG-Mac list and have copied it there. I cannot reproduce on
my Mac. I get the same colors on the pdf file with that code as I do on the
screen device. I have in in the past needed to set up a device before plotting:
trellis.device(device="postscript", color = TRUE) ... but you are
not using a trellis function or creating postscript.
What does utils::str(pdf.options()) return?
On mine I get this
List of 15
$ width : num 7
$ height : num 7
$ onefile : logi TRUE
$ family : chr "Helvetica"
$ title : chr "R Graphics Output"
$ fonts : NULL
$ version : chr "1.4"
$ paper : chr "special"
$ encoding : chr "default"
$ bg : chr "transparent"
$ fg : chr "black"
$ pointsize : num 12
$ pagecentre : logi TRUE
$ colormodel : chr "rgb"
$ useDingbats: logi TRUE
Perhaps this could be a cure?:
pdf.options(colormodel = "rgb")
You probably ought to update as well before raising the bug-flag.

I lose control on colors when I plot points with pch=1 or 16
(empty or solid circle) or any letter, say "A". For example:
x=runif(5)
y=runif(5)
pdf("plot.pdf")
plot(x, y,
type='p', pch=1, col = 1:5) #just black points
plot(x, y,
type='p', pch=0, col = 1:5) #points with different colors
dev.off()
This problem occurred for different versions of R under Mac
OS X 10.4. not sure whether this is true for other operating systems. I
used my
most basic settings of R without any special package loaded. Any
suggestions/ideas
would be appreciated.
