Dear R-help, Is it possible to use win.metafile() on *nix versions of R? I tried R 2.1.1 on FreeBSD and R 1.9.0 on redhat with no success. I need to give some graphs generated in R to my boss so that he can modify them in Powerpoint to fit he style of his presentation. Recommendations on other methods are appreciated as well.
