scaling<-4 xywidth<-480 resolution<-150 png(filename = "c:/r/anschluss/plots/4.png", width = xywidth*scaling, height = xywidth*scaling,pointsize = 12, bg = "white", res = resolution*scaling) ...... barplot(xrow,col = barcolors,cex.axis=scaling, ylab="mean time till attachment in sec",cex.lab=1.2*scaling) I tried to scale the barplot but there is one strange result: scaling=1 http://biostatistic.de/temp/1.png --- the ylab is ok scaling=2 http://biostatistic.de/temp/2.png --- the ylab is not ok scaling=4 http://biostatistic.de/temp/4.png --- the ylab is terrible is there any better solution to scale the resolution and the width/height? with regards Knut

In general, bitmapped graphics do not resize well, though if you have a specific need and know a target image size, you can adjust various parameters to look decent. Are you going to view these images in a web browser, where you are concerned with display size and resolution?>From your e-mail headers it appears you are on Windows. If you need are-sizable graphic, use a vector based format such as wmf/emf, especially if you need the graphics embedded in a Windows application such as Word or Powerpoint. This is the default format under Windows when copying and pasting a graphic between applications. You can then, fairly freely, resize the image in the target application as you may require. If you are going to print the graphic directly or include it in a document for printing (as opposed to just viewing it), then use PDF or Postscript. The latter in EPS format, can be imported into many Windows applications like Word, including the generation of a preview image. However, they don't look good for direct use in presentations (unless you print to a PS file and then convert to PDF for viewing). See ?Devices for more information. With a better idea of how you plan to use the graphic(s), we can offer more specific recommendations on how to proceed. Marc Schwartz

If you have not already tried it try creating a fig file:
xfig("myfile.fig")
plot(1:10)
dev.off()
and then using the fig2dev utility (find it via google) to convert it to a tiff:
fig2dev -L tiff myfile.fig > myfile.tiff

but back to the last problem, what could be wrong that the ylab is not displayed as expected? with regards Knut
