R help - May 2005 - DEV2bitmap: jpeg with res=400 not enough for CORELDRAW poster A0

Dear all,

When saving a plot with the dev2bitmap command:

    name    <- c("test.jpeg")
    dev2bitmap(name,type="jpeg",height=8,width=13,res=400)

Everything seems to be ok... After importing this picture in CORELDRAW (for
a poster A0) format the resolution and colors are not optimal.

How can I save pictures (colors/resolution) optimally for import into
CorelDraw for an A0 poster?

Pdf?/tiff?/bmp?/

Thanks,
Jan

What about PostScript? It's perfectly resizable and CorelDraw (at least 
the outdated version 10) can deal with it.
