I am trying to create a venn diagram using the VennDiagram package.

VennDiagram::venn.diagram(list(
"Nulliparous to Pregnant"=rownames(top.null.preg), 
"Nulliparous to Parous" = rownames(top.null.par), 
"Nulliparous to Lactating" = rownames(top.null.lac)), 
fill = c("#FF2838","#FFA228", "#36ACFF"), alpha = c(0.5, 0.5, 0.5), 
cex = 2,cat.fontface = 4,lty =2,fontfamily =3, 
filename = "venn_uncor1.tiff")

I cannot produce the graphic, and just keep getting the following error.

Warning message: In dev.off() : No TIFF support in this version of R

Googling turns up nothing helpful for a non-programmer. I've tried changing the filename to .pdf or .jpeg. No effect.

  • I'm not doing anything to get `dev.off()` actually - maybe the package is doing this on its own??! I don't know how these things work. I get the same error if I use `fontfamily = "serif"` – Calen Feb 02 '18 at 00:04
  • I get the same error. It's on a computing cluster for the university, so Linux. – Calen Feb 02 '18 at 01:03
  • I'm not sure what exactly the issue is. You're not able to save your Venn plot as a TIFF file or you can't produce your Venn plot within R, either (without trying to save it as a TIFF)? – 4rj4n Feb 06 '18 at 09:35
  • If you run one or more of the examples on 24-32 of the vignette, does this work? Does it yield a TIFF file? It does for me. For us to be able to work with your own data, I think a [reproducible example](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example) would be nice, to be able to test your data and code. – 4rj4n Feb 06 '18 at 09:49
  • I am UNABLE to run the venn diagrams in the vignette. It seems this issue is not related to my data so vignette data is sufficient. Thanks for input. – Calen Feb 06 '18 at 20:51

    Can you at least draw venn diagrams using the VennDiagram functions that do not save the diagram, but simply draw it in the standard R graphical device? For instance this example: `venn.plot <- draw.triple.venn(area1 = 65, area2 = 75, area3 = 85, n12 = 35, n23 = 15, n13 = 25, n123 = 5, category = c("First", "Second", "Third"), fill = c("blue", "red", "green"), lty = "blank", cex = 2, cat.cex = 2, cat.col = c("blue", "red", "green")` and plot it: `grid.draw(venn.plot)` I chose draw.triple.venn since you seem to want to make a Venn diagram with three sets. – 4rj4n Feb 07 '18 at 09:13

    If this works, you can save it making use of grDevices functions: `tiff(filename = "Triple_Venn_diagram.tiff", compression = "lzw"); grid.draw(venn.plot); dev.off()` From there, try to get your own data in this format. – 4rj4n Feb 07 '18 at 09:15
  • This is enough to get me started, and I can work to customize from here. Thank you for your help! – Calen Feb 08 '18 at 06:44
  • This works for me. I saved as a pdf doing `pdf(filename = "Triple_Venn_diagram.tiff");grid.draw(venn.plot);dev.off()` to avoid the TIFF error. Thanks! – i love mistaking Jul 23 '21 at 10:28
