bug in pictex() (package:grDevices) (PR#8727)
* Prof Brian Ripley <evcyrl at fgngf.bk.np.hx> [2006-03-29 15:39:17 +0100]: Have you reported this to pictex()'s author?
no, I have no idea who that is.
Remember that it is a contributed graphics device, and not one r-core is maintaining. You could also submit a patch yourself. There is quite a lot wrong with it, as it has not been more than minimally updated for years.
I see. I now submitted this bug via the web interface. (for some reason it is duplicated, sorry about that)

running
pictex()
plot(1:11,(-5:5)^2, type='b', main="Simple_Example_Plot")
dev.off()
(as in the pictex example, but with underscores instead of spaces).
the TeX file contains
\put {Simple_Example_Plot} [lB] <0.00pt,0.00pt> at 124.00 275.33
the underscores have a special meaning in TeX, so they should be quoted
or converted to dashes.
