Dear All,
I am not really an expert about visualization and plotting, but consider
the code snippet at the end of this email.
On my machine ((X)Ubuntu for the amd64 bit architecture, Cairo installed
from Cran, R 2.10), the two plots (one with R basic graphics, the other
generated using Cairo) do look pretty different.
To be precise, the one by Cairo seems to have a few misplaced characters
and also the size of the axis label looks different from those in the
plot I generate via pdf().
I posted something along these lines on the ggplot2 list (I thought this
had something to do with the ggplot2 library at the time) and I was told
that these problems are about to disappear with the next R release.
Can anyone else running R 2.11 confirm this? Is anyone else experiencing
these minor glitches in Cairo?
Many thanks
Lorenzo
