...hives, but no nice solution. So I decided to post one I came up with. The problem is that graphs output as eps files, for example using ps.options(onefile=FALSE, paper="special", width=8, height=8, horizontal=FALSE, pointsize=12) get rotated when I convert them to pdf using epstopdf. Both ghostview and acroread display them rotated, so I don't think it's an actual acroread bug. I am using R 1.8.1. The solution is to "distill" the files using eps2eps, part of ghostscript on my Debian box. Here is an example Makefile I use for this: ---- cut here ---- EPS2...

I have several old encapsulated postscript graphics generated by R that I want to include in a LaTeX Beamer presentation so I want them in pdf. Under Ubuntu linux typing convert z.eps z.pdf (to use ImageMagick) results in a nice looking graphic but the bounding box is lost. Doing convert z.eps z.epdf results in a fuzzy image with a good bounding box. Does anyone have a nice solution?

...rs of trying different settings, I discovered that choosing a different font family can help, e.g.: 'par(family="Mono")'. This gives good-looking text. Yet, the problem with the file size remains. There exists the hint to produdc EPS instead and then convert to PDF using 'epstopdf'. The resulting PDF files are slightly smaller, but still too large, and PDF viewers still don't like it. So I gave PNG a try. PNG files are much smaller and PDF viewers have no trouble with them. However, fonts look ugly. The same trick that worked for Cairo PDF has no effect for PNG....

Hi list, this question has probably been answered but I haven't found a solution in the archives: The older ghostscript gs5.50 (debian,stable) deals well with R-plots: epstopdf yields pdfs with the same orientation as the eps-file. But, since gs6.5 (or earlier) the dimension of the plot is interpreted: if x-width exceeds y-width even a Portrait-eps is rotated to Landscape. A possible solution is to adjust the Orientation-Flag at eps-generation in R. Any ideas? Thanks...

dear R wizards: I have a very simple suggestion/question. Would it be easy to change the pdf device so that it adds a BoundingBox around its output? (Under R 2.4.1, this seems not to be the case, because epstopdf under linux complains. Fortunately, it still works correctly.) This is not a big deal, but it would be nice if R did so, if only to help some pdf programs that are less adept at dealing with pdf files to be inserted than ghostscript/xpdf. Sincerely, /ivo

Dear r-bugs, When I create EPS files, they sometimes appear rotated in my LaTeX PDF document and sometimes they don't. Two examples: ## x1.eps is not rotated in LaTeX x <- seq(-1, 1, length=100) postscript("c:/x1.eps", height=3, width=4, horizontal=FALSE, onefile=FALSE, paper="special") plot(x, dnorm(x), type="l") dev.off() ## x2.eps is not

...rminal) from an R code? Just one example: Let say that I have an R code with hist(rnorm(100)) dev.copy2eps(file="Dnormal.eps") and then within the same R code, i want to convert the file 'Dnormal.eps' to 'Dnormal.pdf'. This can be achieved using at the linux terminal %epstopdf Dnormal.eps but i do not know how to include this within the R script, any ideas? I know that i can also save the plot (within R) using pdf(), but I want to save the same plot as eps and pdf, without having to reproduce the code for the plot (in this case the plot is easy, but not always is lik...

Hello, I get a nice looking barplot using the barplot2 function in the gregmisc package: body2 <- barplot2(hh3, beside = TRUE, col = c("mistyrose", "lightcyan"), .... cex.names = 1.0, plot.ci = TRUE, ci.l = cil, ci.u = ciu, plot.grid = TRUE) box() However, obviously I lose the collors when converting from ps to a pdf (outside of R)

Since I sent my original question last week, this is one of two suggestions that worked. Using Adobe Acrobat, as suggested by Professor Ripley, was very satisfactory, but required that I use multiple platforms to make the conversion to PDF (from Linux to Windows). The solution by Peter Adorjan (included below), also worked very well, and can be carried out on any platform using tools available

hello, i have a problem with the orientation of eps files produced with the postscript() command. i have generated some eps files with R using: postscript(file = filename, horizontal = FALSE, paper = "special", onefile = F ALSE, height = height, width = width, pointsize = pointsize) now, when i include these eps files into a standard paper document (ie. a4 paper, portrait orientation)

Dear all, A journal in which we wanted our manuscript published requires the figures as a tiff, eps or PowerPoint formated. I tried converting .jpeg files to these formats but it looses its quality both on the screen and on paper. Could some one please help.

Hello everyone, I'm currently trying to export a couple of graphs to pdf . Postscript would be fine too, but I'm using odd page dimensions, which seem to be overwritten when using the "ps2pdf" command. I'm using the pdfpages package in LaTeX to put 6 graphs onto one page (this is why it ought to be a pdf in the end). I have two problems: 1. I'm using

Hi, I'm just wondering how I can do to make a huge postscript plot be manageable. My question is that I have to draw around 60,000 points which makes it painfully slow to print or view in gv or put it into latex document, though it is very fast to produce the postscript file. A simple example is in the attachment. Well, I found that if I use png or jpeg. It is much faster to view the

Hi, Without trying to print 1000000 points (see <http:// finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/42105.html>), I often print maps for which I do not want to loose too much of coastline detail, and/or plots with 1000-5000 points (yes, some are on top of each other, but using transparency (i.e. rgb colors with alpha information) this actually comes through as useful information.
