R help - Feb 2006 - Resolution of plots?

Hello.

 

I have a problem regarding the output from the R plot window.

I have a quite dense dendrogram that I wish to visualize using a suitable
software (like Illustrator), and to accomplish that I right click on the
image from the plotting device and I save as metafile. The problem is when I
scale up the image, some of the vectors in the dendrogram image are
inseparable.

 

My question is if there is any way of increasing the resolution of the
meta-file that I get from the plotting device?

 

Thanks for any help.

 

/Marcus

It seems you are using Windows, but you didn't say so!  I will assume that 
from here on down.

No, as it is done to full metafile resolution (1/1200").  Why not plot on 
a larger size directly to a metafile using win.metafile?
