[Tikzdevice-bugs] Graphics APA mismatch

[Charlie Sharpsteen]

Hi Ista,

What happened is that the R "Graphics Device Version" got bumped in 2.11.0
because some new raster functions were added.  tikzDevice 0.4.8 tells R it
is using an outdated version of the graphics interface and R responds by
throwing an error.

This has been fixed in tikzDevice 0.5.0- but due to my being insanely busy I
haven't yet had an afternoon free to add finishing touches and push it to
CRAN.  However, builds of 0.5.0 are available from R-Forge:

  install.packages( 'tikzDevice', repos = 'http://r-forge.r-project.org' )

The only things missing that need to be added before the package goes to
CRAN are some clarifications and tweaks to the documentation.  Functionally
speaking, the version of 0.5.0 on R-Forge is the same as the version that
will appear on CRAN.  In addition to supporting the new graphics interface
version 0.5.0 fixes some issues with fontsizes that affected lattice and
ggplot2 graphics.

Thanks for reporting this- if tikzDevice 0.4.8 does not work under the
latest version of R, then I need to find time to get 0.5.0 on to CRAN as
soon as possible.
