Has anyone had success getting R-unix postscript plots into powerpoint for the Mac? Mac powerpoint doesn't seem to like postscript, and conversions to tiff, jpeg, and gif, using the netpbm converters, have produced less than stellar results (i.e. bitmaps with unaliases pixels, sigh...). Thoughts? The next one I had was to use GIMP (this is a linux system) to clean it up, and it worked, but it seems like overkill, so I'm looking for a simpler solution. best, -tony -- A.J.

[R] success with R-unix postscript plots into Mac?
Tony, I have had very good success with ImageMagick which can convert nearly any image format into nearly any other image format. It has a GPL-like lisence and is available for nearly any platform at http://www.wizards.dupont.com/cristy/ImageMagick.html The source code and binaries are available here or at your favorite Linux download sites.>From the command line, converting from postscript to jpg is as easy as# convert plot.ps plot.jpg Resolution can be improved by arguements like # convert -density 288 -geometry 25% plot.ps plot.gif which essentially says to put more information into a smaller region. Additionally, there are all kinds of wrappers for the ImageMagick libraries, including Perl, Python, and C/C++.

I can do a bit of experimenting and tell you the result, in particular if if you'd tell *me* how to get ESS to check R transcripts used in a LaTeX file... -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
