R help - Jul 2007 - odfWeave - How to Insert eps rather than png

If you create plots and use odfWeave to create an odf text document, the
default for figures is png bitmap graphics. The only way I've found to
insert eps graphics is to first create the eps graphic using the
postscript driver and then use odfInsertPlot. I've tried to use
getImageDefs and setImageDefs but I get an empty plot. Could someone
show an example?

Rick,

First, can you send details about your versions/OS using sessionInfo()?

Did the code chunk *fail* or did it complete without error? What were
the options in setImageDefs? I'll need more detail to provide you with
any help.

A quick search of "odfWeave postscript" resulted in

OpenOffice uses other applications (like ImageMagick's convert) to
generate previews of ps images. If you are on windows, there is an non-R
issue where Microsoft's file utility called convert interferes with the
other convert and no image shows up (or prints). I have the same issue.
It should be fixable by putting ImageMagick earlier in the path, but I
have not tried this yet.
