#+TITLE: ECM Process Coding System
#+PROPERTY: eval yes
#+PROPERTY: exports both
#+PROPERTY: cache no
* Problem
I can't write accents in graphic titles (nor legends).
* Settings
After Googling (a lot), I always come back to the same set of solutions:
- Adding the following in my ~.emacs~ file:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq process-coding-system-alist '(("R.*" . utf-8-unix)))
#+end_src
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(add-hook 'ess-R-post-run-hook
(lambda () (set-buffer-process-coding-system
'utf-8-unix 'utf-8-unix)))
#+end_src
- Setting the process coding system in the =*R*= buffer:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
M-x set-buffer-process-coding-system RET utf-8-unix RET utf-8-unix RET
#+end_src
None of those does work for me, from an Org file...
* Example
** Text
Print a string does always work, in the Org buffer, and in the export.
#+begin_src R
print("Élève")
#+end_src
#+results:
: Élève
** Graph
But adding a title with accents never does:
#+header: :file ecm-R-coding-system.png
#+begin_src R :results graphics :width 240 :height 240
x <- 0:12
plot(sin(x/2))
title("Élève")
#+end_src
#+results:
[[file:ecm-R-coding-system.png]]
* Observations
You can see a demo of (some of) the tests I made on
http://screencast.com/t/7Nz87zuqiz.
Maybe the problem is not related neither to Org, nor ESS, as I see that
=sessionInfo()= outputs French stuff.
Maybe some of the R users here could share their experience with the "coding
system" configuration?
Best regards,
Seb

Can you do it straight from R? Might be a better place to start? If not,
I'd look into that first to avoid googling org and ESS stuff in vain!

The 1'42" demo on http://screencast.com/t/A9q6CQlLY6 clearly shows that:
- It (now [1]) works from the R terminal
- It works from the Org edit buffer (via C-c '), when sending the commands to
the iESS process
- It does not work from the Org file itself...
Environment:
- Microsoft Windows 8
- GNU Emacs 24.3.50.1 (i686-pc-mingw32) of 2013-10-19 on LEG570
- Org-mode version 8.2.3c (release_8.2.3c-333-g487c74)
- R 3.0.2
Best regards,
Seb
[1] I've added the following code in my .emacs to make it work:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq process-coding-system-alist
'(("R.*" . iso-latin-1)))
#+end_src

Fixed with:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; accented characters on graphics
(setq org-babel-R-command
(concat org-babel-R-command " --encoding=UTF-8")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

That looked promising, but when I tried it, I got the following
*Org-Babel Error Output*, which shows Babel choking on the first
non-ascii character at the start of the xlab string:
Error: unexpected '/' in:
"plot(1:10, 1:10, xlab="dev.off()
}}(),transfer.file="/var/folders/JV/JVNxBfnMGkWC9Aw0BZa8Kk+++TI/-Tmp-/"
Execution halted
Still baffled,
Christian

Maybe try with variations of the above encoding, such as latin1 or so.
Pay attention:
- Different installations have different expectations (the Windows R binary
does not behave the same as the Cygwin R for the default encoding).
- The encoding name is not spelled the same between the Windows R binary and
the Cygwin R one: UTF-8 passes both tests, utf8 only for the Windows
binary...

Seb

Hey,
The thread's a bit stale, so sorry if I'm beating a dead horse here,

More concrete: Try using cairo_pdf as your graph output function in R.
It can do PDF exports with non-ASCII characters.
Caveats: Getting Cairo for R may be some work on Windows from what
I've heard. Also I was still on 2.15.3 when I had this working.
Cheers, Bernd
