similar to: wmf on Unix?

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,

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]]

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

Hi There, I have created the following function format<- function(){ repeat { form<-readline(paste("\nIn what format do you want to save these plots?\nChoose from: wmf, emf, png, jpg, jpeg, bmp, tif, tiff, ps, eps, or pdf.\nNote: eps is the suggested format for publication quality plots.\nPlot format --> ")); cat("\nI'm sorry, I don't know what that format

Hallo, I've produced via R-0.62 several Life-tables 50*6 (mfrow=c(2,3)) as postscriptgraphs. The phd student, who asked for this, use word for windows--therefore i converted the whole stuff with pstoimg to gifs. Unlikly the result is not sufficient (I was told)... Is there a tool to convert ps to wmf/emf ? I looked for it but haven't found anything... Thanks for an answer Peter

I posted a similar query some months ago. Some people answered stating that win.metafiles were not available for R in linux. However, I was suggested to use the package RSvgDevice, which allows transforming any graphic device into Scalable Vector Graphics format, this file can then be opened with sodipodi, and really impresive stuff can be achieved. I also noticed that OpenOffice for linux has an

Hi Folks, I see that people have been discussing the win.metafile device on the list since before 2000. Yet I have never seen this on a Linux distribution of R. Is this because the device works by making calls (GPL calls of course!) to a proprietary Windows library? In that case I can understand that it would be far from kosher to implement it on Linux. But I'd like confirmation. I must

Plaintive squeak: Why the change? Some OS's and desktops use the extension, so forgetting it causes trouble. The new default filename keeps a filetype (as before) but the user now has to type a filetype twice (once as the type, once as extension) to get the same effect fo rtheir own filenames. And the extension isn't then checked for consistency with valid file types, so it can be

Dear Experts, May be the problem is still solved, however I tried to find the answer in the archives: I use: > R.version _ platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch i386 os mingw32 system i386, mingw32 status major 1 minor 7.1 year 2003 month 06 day 16

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

Dear all: Is there any one could tell me how I can represent Micro-molar as an unit of concentration when I plot with R(S-plus), I don't want write 'uM' from keyboard, I am thinking to write it like in word, in word, people insert symbol for 'u' for uM. Am I clear? Thank you very much for your consideration and help. Lu

Hi, I wonder if someone could help. I needed to transfer (copy) a workspace file that had been generated in linux (R 2.11) to windows running the same version of R 2.11 (but of course windows binary). Usually, there is no problem in doing this and all objects work as expected. I am often doing this to be able to produce wmf or emf graphic files that I need. This time I had some spectra that I

Hello R-Help, I've got a bit of an issue with WMF's. I am working on WindowsXP and outputting WMF format images. I then take the WMF format images and insert them in PowerPoint. I take the PowerPoint and convert it to PDF. The WMFs are nothing special. Just the typical x-y plot with a gray dotted grid added and a few matlines. The WMFs, when produced look great! They show

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

Dear R devel, being constrained to a windows environment at work and having colleagues being accustomed to the Microsoft Office Suite, I was looking for a way to have the RweaveLatex driver for Sweave automatically generating 'win.metafile's in addition to the pdf graphics. Without this functionalilty, the generation of emf-graphics is quite laborious, I think: <<>>= plotit

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

I use R to create .eps graphics and then use oodraw to convert them to .emf versions. (One reason I do this is that OOo tends to re-size .eps files and I haven't found a way to stop it or change it once the graph is resized. .emf files are not distorted by OOo - fortunately.) I use a command like: > oodraw filename.eps & The gui opens and then I select .emf and do an export. I

Hi, I need some opinion.  I would like to use graph that I generate from R code and save it into word document.  Which format is better? pdf, jpeg or tiff? Thank you. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
