Greetings All. According to the PLoS (Public Library of Science) Guidelines for Figure preparation, if a figure is submitted as EPS rather than TIFF then "Figure text must be in Arial font" -- see: [1] http://www.plosntds.org/static/figureGuidelines.action#text and also other sections in that web-page [2] http://www.plosn...

Hi all, I'm currently preparing some figures that will be submitted to PloS One. In their guidelines they state that they will only accept figures in tiff or eps format, with the warning that eps figures will be converted to tiff format ( see http://www.plosone.org/static/figureGuidelines.action ). Because of this conversion, I figured I'd generate tiff-format figures...

Hi, I need to generate some figure using the Arial font as a requirement for PLoS. Following their guidelines, I have converted the windows font files arial.tff files to .afm using tff2afm (exec file from MikTeX), but when I try to generate a postcript file, the postcript device does not recognize the .afm files. The code I use to test the new font is the following: postscript...

...script() btw also doesn't work, since that doesn't support transparency, and returns the error "semi-transparency is not supported on this device: reported only once per page". I know I can use svg or pdf instead and that this would solve the problem, but problem is the journal (PloS) I would like to submit to only accepts EPS. So is there any solution to increase the quality in EPS, without having to rasterize everything to PNG? best regards, Tom Wenseleers [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I am trying to create a graph using Arial font (as required by PLoS One). I have read probably all posts in R-help on this topic, as wells as R-news 2006. The code I have been trying is following: Arial <- Type1Font(family="Arial", metrics=c("ArialMT.afm", "arial-BoldMT.afm", "Arial-ItalicMT.afm", "A...

Hi all, I am trying to make tiff files of lattice plots at a resolution greater than 300 dpi required by a journal (PLoS ONE). I have tried both the tiff and bitmap functions. tiff keeps panel colors but reduces axes and tick labels so they are nearly invisible. bitmap maintains correct label size but only produces greyscale. Regular plots work fine with tiff; the problem is only with lattice plots. How can I keep t...

Hello, I would like to get a correlation coefficient (R-squared) for my model. I don't know how to calculate it in R. What I've done so far: x<-8.5:32.5 #Vektor x y<-c(NA ,5.88 , 6.95 , 7.2 , 7.66 , 8.02 , 8.44 , 9.06, 9.65, 10.22 , 10.63 ,11.06, 11.37, 11.91 ,12.28, 12.69 ,13.07 , 13.5 , 13.3 ,14.14 , NA , NA , NA , NA , NA) #Vektor y

For this purposes, I replicate ".do" file use Stata in http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0153778.

Hi all, I'm trying to use lapply on a list with the following command: out<-lapply(mylist,myfun,par1=p,par2=d) (1) where myfun<-function(x,par1,par1) {.....} (2) now this function is in fact a wrapper for some Fortran code I have written so I think this might be the problem. When I call lapply() as in (1) I get the following message: Error in get(x,

...t for postcript/pdf figure on Windows? Message-ID: <1291980023177-3081774.post at n4.nabble.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hi Agnes, I converted the Arial font files from ttf to afm using ttf2afm from MikTex complete installation. When used in R with the line recommended by Plos, they seem to give correct Arial font graphics: I checked by opening the ps file with a viewer (gsview), a text editor (notepad++) and Adobe illustrator. However I did not try (but hopefully will do soon) the ultimate test: submission to Plos. Here is a way to do it: (Mind the trick at step 5) 1...
