similar to: WMF conversion...

Could you save the original graphics as a pdf, and include the pdf in Powerpoint? ---------- begin included message ------ Unfortunately, after placed in the PowerPoint and the PowerPoint is converted to PDF via MS Office's built in conversion utility, the resulting image have diagonal streaks across them from the y-axis down to the x-axis. The rest of the document is perfect, but the

Hi all I am doing some stats work for a group of biologists who require windows metafiles (*.wmf) for their publications. To create these, I appear to have two choices: 1. Restart my machine in Windows and use savePlot 2. Keep my machine in linux, save as another format, then convert. I'd rather stay in linux; but how do I get wmf files? I looked at using ImageMagick's convert,

Dear R People: I'm using R in a time series class. This class is being broadcast live to 2 remote sites via closed circuit TV. My people at the remote sites are having a terrible time seeing the computer screen as it is broadcast(resolution issues). I have decided to put together Power Point slides for the teaching. I am currently saving the R screen as WMF files and inserting them into

A few of you have helpfully sent me references to WMF formats. There is also some code to _read_ it at http://www.csn.ul.ie/~caolan/docs/libwmf.html However, the issue is to _write_ WMF on R under Unix. I am told (by someone who has tried) that the problem is the if you write a WMF file according to the published specs (which were once issued by Microsoft) you find that e.g. Word does not read

Hi, I recently read about that Wine is vulnerable against the WMF bug that was recently closed on Windows. Is it really true? Is Wine really as bug-for-bug compatible with Windows? :-) http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/01/06/2043203&from=rss http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/index.php?p=146 Best regards, Zolt?n B?sz?rm?nyi

My apriori apologies if this is felt to be the wrong list for this issue - although it starts with R, it's a combination of programs that creates the problem. Currently we are using windows metafile format for in-text tables for reports created in Word. However, we've discovered some artifactual lines being created in our final output once the Word document is changed to PDF. The process

This problem was posted a couple years ago here: http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/04/01/0231.html Using Windows XP with R 2.3.1, I am now experiencing the same problem again: when a plot is saved and/or copied as a WMF, the labels do not have the correct character spacing. I am trying to insert the WMF into a MS Word 2003 document (my first mistake, I know), but even when the WMF is

Hi R users, I'm working on a autoreporting with the batch mode of R: I would like to save the graphs produced in wmf or emf. the problem is, it's working well with the R gui because we print on the screen the graph devices but not with the batch. I have used the function dev.print after encounter problem with win.metafile. Thanks Guillaume [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello all, I'm using R to produce figures for people who want to be able to edit the figures directly, and who use PowerPoint a lot. I use a Mac, and I'd appreciate any advice about how to approach this. Here's what I've come up with so far: 1) I can use xfig() and then ask them to install Inkscape to edit the files. Downsides are no transparency and a learning curve with

...if that is possible My task is to find the longest streak of continuous days a user participated in a game. Instead of writing an sql function, I chose to use the R's rle function, to get the longest streaks and then update my db table with the results. The (attached) dataframe is something like this: day user_id 2008/11/01 2001 2008/11/01 2002 2008/11/01 2003

Hi All, I need a file which I can import to MS Word, I'm trying win.metafile(), but it does not seem to support multiple print commands at once (please see below). Is there an alternative to get plots file which can be used in powerpoint/word? # R code: # this does not work; but same thing works with pdf() library(lattice) win.metafile("test.wmf") p1 <- xyplot(decrease ~

libEMF (http://sourceforge.net/projects/libemf/) looks like it may be the solution to generating WMF/EMF files on Unix. It's a general-purpose (LGPL) library that implements the EMF API ... (I was originally going to write to the list to ask why small circles appear to be filled (in src/gnuwin32/graphapp/gdraw.c) by generating a series of rectangles rather than using some kind of

Latex and R are really cool stuff. I am just wondering how they are used in industry. But based on my own experience, very rare. Why? How about the opinion of other listers? Thanks.

Hi there! I have following problem: I created some graphics with "win.metafile", which I wanted to use in a Powerpoint presentation, but when I paste them into Powerpoint the graphics are missing the axes. It looks like the axes are cut off and I was wondering, if somebody know this problem and how to solve this?? Thanks for your help! :) win.metafile("example.wmf", width=7,

Hello, When I use savePlot(filename="xy",type="eps") or savePlot(filename="xy",type="wmf") , I get the following error: Error in grid.Call("L_textBounds", as.graphicsAnnot(x$label), x$x, x$y, : Polygon edge not found (zero-width or zero-height?) This doesn't occur when I change the type to "jpeg" or "bmp". Can

Hi, Is there no function in R similar to jpeg(...) or postscript(...) for windows meta files? The function savePlot(...) is not really what I need. I'd like to save the plot on my disk without open a new plot window. And I don't want to save it on my disk and convert it from a *.* to .wmf (there are too many). Thanks for any help Thomas

Hi all I posted a couple of days ago about how to end up with wmf files eventually in R for linux. The short answer was: you (probably) can't...and don't! The journal in question also accepts TIFF files, I am told (it's a physiology journal). So I adjust my question: What is the best way to get TIFF files out of R? It can't create them directly as far as I can tell.

Hello, I am using R to create graphics, especially to plot time series charts. These charts are then copied as metafiles (for best quality) to a PowerPoint presentation and then saved to PDF (via the "Save As" dialog"). Attached is two pictures. The first picture shows how my chart looks like in the R Graphics window, and the second picture shows how the chart becomes after saving

Dear All, I am looking for the best way to use graphs from R (like xyplot, curve ...) for a presentation with powerpoint. I used to save my plot as pdf and after to copy them as image in powerpoint but the quality is not optimal by so doing. Another completely independent question is the following: when I use "main" in the xyplot, the main title is very close to my plot,

Hello all: I have searched through the help files and I have been unsuccessful in solving this problem. I am trying to create a small wrapper function that will go around a call to a plot function and create a windows metafile in the directory and also write the name of the file to a text file. The purpose is to efficiently bring a large number of plots into powerpoint. I am using
