barplot2

I want to thank Mark Schwartz and Martin Meachler for their suggestions re
conversion to pdf.
Obviously, the problem was witht the conversion software used --
GhostScript/GSView solved it.
Thanks again Marwan

Hello,
I get a nice looking barplot using the barplot2 function in
the gregmisc
package:

   body2 <- barplot2(hh3, beside = TRUE,
           col = c("mistyrose", "lightcyan"),
   ....
   cex.names = 1.0, plot.ci = TRUE, ci.l = cil, ci.u = ciu,
           plot.grid = TRUE)
   box()

However, obviously I lose the collors when converting from ps
to a pdf (outside of R) but I get a single shaded pattern! Is
it my choice of collors? Or the conversion software I am
using? Any help would be appreciated. TIA Marwan

Marwan,

I don't have your full code, but I used barplot2() in R 1.6.2 under
WinXP Pro to generate a simple bar plot with two bars in the colors
that you have above. I can generate a .PS file and then convert it to
.PDF using GhostScript/GSView and default settings without problem.
The colors are properly retained.

Can you provide your full code so that I can exactly replicate your
plot and specify what program you are using to do the PS to PDF
conversion?

Regards,

Marc Schwartz
