在 R 中将 unicode 字符保存为 .pdf

Question

我想用 ggsave.

将特定的 unicode 字符保存到 pdf 文件

示例代码

library(ggplot2)

ggplot() +
  geom_point(data = data.frame(x=1, y=1), aes(x,y), shape = "\u2191") +
  geom_point(data = data.frame(x=2, y=2), aes(x,y), shape = "\u2020")

ggsave("test.pdf", plot = last_plot()), width = 40, height = 40, units = "mm")

但是，当保存 .pdf 时，unicode 字符被转换为三个点...

尝试修复它

我尝试在 ggsave 中使用 cairo_pdf 设备 -> 没用。
用这个post画了unicode字符，但是没看懂...

问题

如何在 pdf 中使用两个 unicode 字符？

Answer 1

这似乎适用于我的 mac:

library(tidyverse)

quartz(type = 'pdf', file = 'test.pdf')

ggplot() +
    geom_point(data = data.frame(x=1, y=1), aes(x,y), shape = "\u2191") +
    geom_point(data = data.frame(x=2, y=2), aes(x,y), shape = "\u2020")

使用此处的建议：

Answer 2

对 unicode 字符和 pdf 使用 ggsave() 有点敏感。尝试显式 post 到设备。当我使用 pdf() 时，它对我不起作用，但使用 cairo_pdf() 时有效。

p <- ggplot() +
  geom_point(data = data.frame(x=1, y=1), aes(x,y), shape = "\u2191", size=4) +
  geom_point(data = data.frame(x=2, y=2), aes(x,y), shape = "\u2020", size=4)

然后比较这些：

# using pdf() gives me warnings and does not work
pdf('test.pdf')
print(p)
dev.off()

# using cairo_pdf() works
pdf('test_cairo.pdf')
print(p)
dev.off()

#--- The trick to get unicode characters being printed on pdf files:
#--- 1. Create a temporary file, say "temp.png"
#--- 2. Create the pdf file using pdf() or cairo_pdf(), say "UnicodeToPDF.pdf"
#--- 3. Combine the use of grid.arrange (from gridExtra), rasterGrob (from grid), and readPNG (from png) to insert the
#       temp.png file into the UnicodeToPDF.pdf file
test.plot = ggplot() +
  geom_point(data = data.frame(x=1, y=1), aes(x,y), shape = "\u2191", size=3.5) +

dev.off()

file.remove("temp.png")
