xfig {base}R Documentation

XFig Graphics Device

Description

xfig starts the graphics device driver for producing XFig (version 3.2) graphics.

The auxiliary function ps.options can be used to set and view (if called without arguments) default values for the arguments to xfig and postscript.

Usage

xfig(file = "Rplots.fig", ...)

Details

Although xfig can produce multiple plots in one file, the XFig format does not say how to separate or view them. So onefile=FALSE is the default.

Note

One some line textures (0 <= lty > 4) are used. Eventually this will be partially remedied, but the XFig file format does not allow as general line textures as the R model. Unimplemented line textures are displayed as dash-double-dotted.

There is a limit of 512 colours (plus white and black) per file.
