Hi,
To plot a figure, I used lwd=0.18 in the function lines() to plot very fine lines. However, using png() or pdf() to save the figure, it appears that lwd has no effect on pdf() beyond some small number (e.g. 0.18) and the lines looks much thicker than png(). Setting lwd<0.18 does not make the lines any finer in pdf(). I also tried specifying the argument lwd in par() instead and still faced the same problem.
My understanding is pdf() allows lwd<1 but it seems that there is a lower bound. I hope to use pdf() instead of png() because the computer server gives the following error message when png is used:
png(file="tmp.png")
Error in X11(paste("png::", filename, sep = ""), width, height, pointsize, :
unable to start device PNG
In addition: Warning message:
In png(file = "tmp.png") : unable to open connection to X11 display ''
Thanks for the help and advice in advance regarding the problem I am facing.
Best regards,
stan
