[R] problem with x11 and PS devices on different machines

2003-11-12 Thread Timur Elzhov
Dear R help,

I run R at home and the work, I have Debian Linux on both machines and
the same 'r-base-core' deb packages installed. So I tried to run the
same R script, which plots graph in x11 device and then dump it to eps
file (x11 and eps you'll find attached). On the home machine there are
some stranges in x11 plot as well as in eps file.  On the work machine
all the ok, despite of that I use the _same_ version of binary deb
package. May be any troubles with the font paths? Thank you in advance
for any suggestions!

I ran the unix tool 'file' on your two attached files:

x11-good.png: PNG image data, 600 x 420, 8-bit/color RGB,
non-interlaced

x11-bad.png: PNG image data, 449 x 315, 8-bit/color RGB,
non-interlaced

It could be that your X11 Modes differ between both machines,
with a different number of dots per inch. 

Hth,

Right, bad x11() picture is smaller. These 'png' are simply their
screen shots (made by gimp).

I use the same resolution, 1024x768 on both machines. Anyway, I do
not think that xserver resolution is important for screenshot size
(in pixels) :)

The width and height of a default R x11 plotting window are both 
7 inches. 

There will be a different number of dots within those 7x7 square
inches if the number of dots per inch is not similar. This could 
be the case even though your two xservers are set at 1024x768.  

Does 'xdpyinfo | grep dots' return the same numbers on both
machines?

I see :)  I am in the office now, but I tried to play with dpi. I used
to think that dpi _is_ resolution / real_monitor_dimensions, and could
not be set in Xserver config. But I found its set in xdm/Xservers, I saw
that x11 R device and ps dump from them are dependent on it.
Thank you!
