[R] The best way to end up with TIFF {Was: end up with WMF)
Hi all I posted a couple of days ago about how to end up with wmf files eventually in R for linux. The short answer was: you (probably) can't...and don't! The journal in question also accepts TIFF files, I am told (it's a physiology journal). So I adjust my question: What is the best way to get TIFF files out of R? It can't create them directly as far as I can tell. ImageMagick's convert can create TIFF; what is the best way to get there from R? Thru postscript first?

Thru postscript first?Via PNG, probably, although bitmap() will automate going via postscript. Note that TIFF is a multitude of formats, and not all tools accept all the sub-formats, in particular compression schemes, so I would use uncompressed TIFF. -- Brian D.
