R help - Oct 2008 - graphics

I just want to ask how to enlarge the resolution of my plots in R. For ex. for
publising I would like a picture of resolution minimal 500 dpi, all I managed
was picture of dim 5,28 X 5,83 with 118 pixels/cm.

Thank You for the answer!
With best regards,

Darja Rupnik

What did you try?  Have you tried reading the help for png or tiff?

Hi Darja,
The usual answer is to increase the size of the image. For example, if 
you are using the one of the bitmapped devices, the default resolution 
is 480x480 pixels. If you now have 118 pixels/cm (300 dpi) and you were 
using the default resolution, by specifying 800x800 pixels, you should 
get the desired output resolution when the image is scaled to your 
output size.
