Context: Windows XP, R 1.8.1 I'm studying Venables-Ripley "MASS" book and having a go at the many examples in library MASS. The code I'm checking (from script ch04.R) now is ...... data(swiss) splom(~ swiss, aspect = "fill", panel = function(x, y, ...) { panel.xyplot(x, y, ...); panel.loess(x, y, ...) } ) which produces an agreable plot with a gray background and cyan points, but..... Copying the plot as a metafile into Word and having a laser printer I'd better stick to a b/w plot. How can I turn the background to white and the cyan points to black? Ciao - Vittorio
In Word, right click your picture, choose Format Picture, select the Picture tab and under Color: choose Greyscale. Depending on your printer, your print driver may also have some options to this effect that you can access after choosing File | Print. There is undoubtedly a solution on the R side too but I usually do touch up in Word so I can use the GUI.
