Sorry, the code is incomplete. You get a better result this way... postscript('Circle.eps',paper='special',width=4,height=4) par(mar=c(0,0,0,0)) plot.new() points(0.5,0.5,pch=21,cex=50,bg='gray') dev.off() -----Mensagem original----- De: Rodrigo Aluizio [mailto:r.aluizio em gmail.com] Enviada em: ter?a-feira, 18 de novembro de 2008 19:28 Para: 'Gareth Campbell' Cc: R Help (r-help em r-project.org) Assunto: RES: [R] Symbols output A fast and simple way to do that would be something like this (the example is a gray circle) postscript('Circle.eps') par(mar=c(0,0,0,0)) plot.new() points(0.5,0.5,pch=21,cex=50,bg='gray') dev.off() You just have to chance the symbol (pch) and color (bg), the output will be an EPS file, open it on an Image Editor (PhotoShop, Corel, etc) and save at other format you want (png, jpg, tif, bmp, etc) with any resolution, the background of the symbol will be transparent, so I recommend saving it as tif or png! Hope it helps... -----Mensagem original----- De: r-help-bounces em r-project.org [mailto:r-help-bounces em r-project.org] Em nome de Gareth Campbell Enviada em: ter?a-feira, 18 de novembro de 2008 18:53 Para: R Help Assunto: [R] Symbols output Hi everyone, I have a PCA plot that I'm writing about in the text. There were so many symbols in different colours on it that I didn't include a legend in the plot as it would be useless. So what I was hoping to do was to talk about each set of replicates in the text and when I do that, use their coloured symbol in the text. So what I want to do is to get R to create some high quality picture files of the symbols with the colours I tell it to. Does anyone have an idea about the best way to go about this? I created a graph of the symbols and tried to use photoshop to cut them out, but it's laborious and the quality is not the best. I just want small sharp symbols.
