I suspect you need a device supporting translucency: PostScript does not
and hence postscript() cannot. Try the pdf() device (and convert the
output if you need it).

Hi…
I want to use grImport to create a watermark on a plot() using the methods
Paul Murrell describes here:
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/grImport/vignettes/import.pdf (page
28). I can essentially reproduce this manually at the R prompt, and
On what OS and what device: see the posting guide ....
independently I can use grid.picture(…) successfully in a R script, but
when I attempt to do do this in my script:
•
•
•
postscript(outputFilename,paper="us")
grid.picture(noaalogo,distort=FALSE,width=0.5,x=0.50,y=0.50)
grid.rect(gp=gpar(fill=rgb(1,1,1,0.9)))
plot(dat,xaxt="n",type="b",ylim=c(y_range[1],y_range[2]),main=labelStr,xlab="Date",ylab="Elevation,
NAVD88 (Ft)")
•
•
•
dev.off()
The picture "noaalogo" is drawn, but either the plot() is obscured or is
not drawn at all. In either case, the "watermarking" effect is not
happening in my script, but does work as expected, manually, at the R
prompt. I'm sure this is a graphics device related issue, but I have not
been able to find a solution through my searches.
Thank you,
Tom
