Dear all, since my problem could not be solved in the general R mailing list, I'll post the issue again in this specific mailing list.
I tried: > iris > species.n <- as.numeric(Species) > plot(iris, col = species.n) > savePlot(filename="IrisTestPlot", type="png") and got the error message: Fehler in savePlot(filename = "IrisTestPlot", type = "png") : kann nur aus 'X11(type="*cairo")' Devices kopieren (sorry, I have a german version of R). I tried: > postscript("IrisTestPlot.eps", > paper="special",height=6,width=6,onefile=FALSE,horizontal=FALSE) and > postscript(file="IrisTestPlot2.pdf", onefile = FALSE, horizontal = FALSE, > paper = "special", width = 8, height = 8) in both cases there are files produced that cannot be opened. Error message: the bounding box is missing. According to Michael's advice I tried: > quartz.save("IrisTestPlotquartz.png","png") and got: postscript 5 but no file. as well as: > system('open IrisTestPlotquartz.png') It states that the files does not exist. And I tried: > plot(iris) > dev.cur() And got the answer: postscript 3 and again no file. I use 64 bit R under Snow Leopard. > sessionInfo() R version 2.10.1 (2009-12-14) x86_64-apple-darwin9.8.0 locale: [1] de_DE.UTF-8/de_DE.UTF-8/C/C/de_DE.UTF-8/de_DE.UTF-8 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] tools_2.10.1 What could be the problem and how can I solve it? Thank you very much in advance for your time and advices!
