R help - Aug 2011 - Saving a graph

I read somewhere that vector graphics such as eps or dpf are more favorable
than alternatives (jpeg, bmp or png) for publication because vector graphics
scale properly when enlarged. However, my problem is that the file generated
from a graph of fixed size is too large (in the order of 10MB) because of
many data points in multiple scatterplots. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Gang

Generate pdf, open and save it in Adobe Acrobat which does a compression
when the setting are correct.

Chang Cheng,


this question has been asked on this list for several times. I would suggest you
search the list archive (http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/R-help-f789696.html or
www.rseek.com) prior to posting in the future. "graph size many points
pdf" would give you at least 10 threads with detailed description. There
are numerous solutions and most of them point into Dieters or Brian Ripleys
directions.
