This is a known bug with Splus2000. It appears that the pdf.graph()
graphics device has some trouble writing graphics to Adobe Acrobat Reader 4
files. I was able to view the "test.pdf" file from inside of version 3 of
Adobe Reader, but the file did not display the datapoints in version 4 of
Adobe Reader.
I have linked your correspondence to the request for resolution in our
database, and have upgraded the severity level of this bug. In the
meantime, you should be able to use the postscript() graphics device to
generate your files:
A program such as Ghostview (or GSview) can be used to display the
postscript graphs.
I have checked the status of this bug in our database which saying that it
has been fixed. Therefore, I expect this existing fix to be included in our
next Windows release, Splus6, which is expected sometime in the near future.
I hope the above information will be helpful to you! Please feel free to
contact us again if you have any further questions or any technical
problems.
Sincerely,
Truc-Giang Pham

Problem Description: When I issue the following commands and then try to use
Acrobat 4.05c to
look at the graph, the individual points do not appear in the plot, only the
axes are visible. What can I do?
