[R] Words appear to be bolded in the PDF output

2010-04-20 Thread chrisli1223

Hi all,

I have written a note near each of my graphs using mtext.
mtext(text,side=1,line=4,cex=0.5,adj=0)

Then I have exported the graphs as a PDF file.
pdf(file=name,paper='a4',width=7.27,height=10.69)

The mtext appears OK in R. But it looks like it is bolded in the PDF file.

I am not sure if this is actually my monitor/computer's problem. But I want
to see if it can be fixed in R.

Many thanks,
Chris

That seems backwards to me.  I'd begin with the pdf() call, then do the
plot, then dev.off().  Maybe that's what you meant: if not, I've no
idea what you did.

That's a fairly low res png file, not a pdf file, but even so, it
doesn't look like font = 2 to me.  It's a considerably larger cex
value than the other text, but it's still not bold.

Decide after seeing what it looks like printed.

Hi,

Taking a wild guess, it looks to me that you might have overlaid
several times the same text,

plot.new()
text(0.5,0.5,rep(test,10))

HTH,

baptiste

Problem solved. Yes, I found that the text is overlaid several times!
Thank you very much for your help, greatly appreciated. :)
