Re: [R] unicode only works with a second one
Hi Greg and Paul, I tried several things, but I did not succeed: * I could not find the library(EBImage) on CRAN in Austria to open an png image in R. * I could not import the image via pixmap (read.pnm) as described on http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=tips:graphics-misc:translucency because my GIMP cannot write pnm format. * I could not manage use the 'grImport' package to trace the svg: readPicture(Aries.svg) Fehler in readPicture(Aries.svg) : Version mismatch: RGML file needs to be recreated with PostScriptTrace() * I gave up modifiying the svg code from wikipedia to make it an R array (structure) as you greg described it above. If you have any hint for me please let me know. I am willing to contribute something to TeachingDemos (although I am not sure if this is not a license problem as I trace the (public domain) images from wikimedia. Otherwise I am happy with the Hershey fonts so far.

Re: [R] unicode only works with a second one
One of the points of my.symbols is that you can define your own symbols to use
with it (hence the my).
I downloaded a graphic of the aries symbol (your original attempt in unicode I
belive) and used the following code to trace the left half of the symbol
(starting bottom center), then used that to create a matrix for the aries
symbol:
library(EBImage)
tmp - chooseImage()
image(tmp)
library(TeachingDemos)
tmp2 - par('usr')
updateusr(tmp2[1:2], tmp2[3:4], c(-1,1), c(-1,1))
out1 - locator(type='l', col='red', lwd=3)
out1$x - out1$x - out1$x[1]
ms.aries - rbind( cbind( out1$x, out1$y), NA, cbind( -out1$x, out1$y ) )
this resulted in the matrix:
ms.aries -
structure(c(0, 0, -0.00361689814814814, -0.047019675925926,

), .Dim = c(63L, 2L))
Which can be used as:
my.symbols(1:10,1:10, ms.aries, add=FALSE, inches=0.3, lwd=2)
If aries is the only one that you need, just use the above matrix, if you need
others, you can follow the above steps to trace out the other symbols (just
remember to put in a row of NA everywhere you want a jump without connecting
line).
Hope this helps,

Hi, thanks for all your hints. One of the points of my.symbols is that you can define your own symbols to use with it (hence the my). I tried this and it works fine. I need all the symbols and I will probably not trace them, but copy the svg code and modify them from http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Zodiac I will do this on the weekend. Paul: Another workaround is to use the Hershey fonts. For example ... \\VE \\MA work fine, but I need all twelve zodiac symbols.

Re: [R] unicode only works with a second one
Hi Thomas, I get the zodiac symbols okay without the trailing \u3030 on FC9 Linux and R-2.8.1. Perhaps it's only on Windows. Might try it at work tomorrow where I can boot into WinXP.
