R help - Oct 2006 - R Graphics: Saving PDF and other formats from Windows GraphicDevice for LaTeX

If you plan to include your graphics in LaTeX files then you should
really look at the Sweave function in the utils package.  This approach
may work better for you and make these questions not matter anymore.

Subject: [R] R Graphics: Saving PDF and other formats from Windows
GraphicDevice for LaTeX

Hello, I can't seem to save (or find the default location) when I use
the Window Graphic Device's pull down menu. It does not seem to save to
the directory I have set using "setwd(...)". How do I make the pull
down
menu's work?

What is the best format to save R graphics for inclusion into a LaTeX
documents?
I will use PdfTex, or LaTeX -> PS -> PsToPdf to generate the final PDF
file.
Which is  likely to give the best graphics quality in the final PDF
document?
The final graphs will be about 3x3 inch (fit in a column in two-column
format).
I will be grateful if someone can share their experience.

Anupam.
