Hi, Is it possible to dump a series of plots directly into a powerpoint presentation (as is possible in Splus)? Thank you, Thomas [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, (apologies, I'm not entirely sure whether this question is about R or my limitations with PowerPoint). I've submitted a paper (which has been accepted) but the journal now require me to submit graphs that are "editable in PowerPoint". I would be grateful for suggestions as to how I should do this. The best route seems to be to copy-and-paste the figures from the

Yes: I have Tufte's monograph on my desk. (along with 4 statistics texts) Yes: I am not the biggest fan of PowerPoint. Yes: I am using R to generate charts, plots, trends, etc. I have to summarize them each week. When I consider how to organize this data my first thought is to generate an HTML file with links to the R-generated plots, which HTML file organizes the plots in the required

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, In S-Plus Windows you can transform graphics to Powerpoint very easily, in R Windows you can use enhanced metafiles (.emf) and Powerpoint almost as easy. Is there a simular way with R in Linux to transform to the presentation program in StarOffice or OpenOffice or are you stuck with the pdf device? Fredrik Lundgren

Dear developers, I wonder would you consider making a save to a graphics file format (as opposed to ps)? What prompts this is that we have just finished my wife's thesis using R heavily for stats and graphs. The combination of latex, bibtex and R generated .eps worked a treat and we were very pleased with both the final outcome and the efficiency of gernerating it, especially when all the

hi, all. I use R on a unix (linux) box and am quite happy with it. However, sometimes I need to create a graph that needs to be used with Microsoft Word or Powerpoint (ug). I can create a png or jpeg format picture, but the text look pretty crummy because jpeg is bitmapped. I can also create a PS/EPS version (my preference), but then it doesn't display properly in word or powerpoint (but it

Greetings, R-friends: I'm using R 2.3.1 on a DELL box with 2 gig, running WindowsXP Pro. I am making what is admittedly a very busy plot composed of qq plots with superimposed density() plots. I need to show everything and the result is messy, but informative. If I produce the basic qq plot, and then add incrementally to it, saving the graphic at each step, the sequence does make the

Hello R-Users, I have some data sets which change on a daily bases. So far I have imported these sets into R, done all my evaluations resulting in a couple of plots, charts and tables of numbers which I copy&pasted via clipboard into Powerpoint. The procedure is always the same and I wonder, whether there is no easier way for doing so. Is there some type of "report generator"

Hello CentOS people, I'm wondering if there are command tools like antiword and docx2txt for Microsoft PowerPoint files (.ppt and .pptx). The idea is to extract text from PowerPoint files. Sorry this isn't exactly about CentOS, but I'd really like it if Yum has something. I tried xlhtml, but it hasn't been updated in a while and isn't exactly wanting to work on CentOS

Please allow me an unusual question. Is there any way that R can be closely integrated with a Microsoft Powerpoint presentation? I would like to embed R calculations in Powerpoint so that I will start Powerpoint, be prompted to enter some parameters, and an R function will run and return values and graphs. Thanks, John R 2.1.1 windows 2k John Sorkin M.D., Ph.D. Chief, Biostatistics and

I've tried several methods in OS X, and here's what works best for me. Save the R graphic as a PDF file. Open it with Apple's "Preview" application, and save it as a PNG file. The resulting .png file can be inserted into MS Word or PowerPoint, can be resized, and looks good on either OS X or Windows. There are other programs available for translating the pdf file to png

Hi Everyone Samba 3.6.7 on OpenSuse 12.2 x86_64 I have an unusual problem for which I have not been able to find a solution on the Internet. With Powerpoint 2003, there was no issue. With Powerpoint 2007, the user cannot advance slides unless the file is saved locally on the client (Windows XP SP3, ntfs filesystem). When the file is loaded from the samba share, the user can edit and save

Hello, I'm using MS Office 2007 Pro on Ubuntu 10.04 x64 through wine-1.3.17. After a while my laptop will just freeze (like someone took a screenshot) when I have multiple PowerPoint windows open. This problem seems to be only associated with PowerPoint and not the other Office Apps. Also, whenever I minimize the PowerPoint windows they will group together on my taskbar but little gray

Hi, I have a nicely printed table of results generated by R's > print(myresult) where myresult is a "data frame". I am trying to put this table into a powerpoint slide for presentation without re-typing and re-formating, i.e., present it as it is in the R window. This saves time when there are a lot of tables to be presented. I tried > sink("myresult.txt") >

PowerPoint Viewer 1997 work nicely, but the installation for PowerPoint Viewer 2003 seems incomplete. It emits a number of fixme:msi warnings. It would be a nice wishlist item.

I am generating some graphs (on GNU/Linux using R 1.5.x) for a PowerPoint presentation my boss is giving next week. He just tried cut/pasted a plot off of a PDF file I had created, but he complained that the fonts were too small and fuzzy, and that he couldn't change the background. I have been playing with png(bg=transparent), but I am not sure what appropriate height,width parameters and

HP ProBook 6460b. OpenSuse 11.4 - 64 KDE I installed and configure wine (as XP). It works Then I installed Office 2007 Pro. Strange results: Access and some other tools work fine. Word, Excel and Powerpoint open but stop before I can interact with the message: "MS Excel not installed for the current user. Execute installer program again." I tried to reinstall many times: some result!!

Hi all! I am having some problems with PowerPoint 2000 running in a wine 0.0.20050725-1 debian package. It works fine when I am creating a new presentation, but when I am opening old presentations it freezes after displaying the first slide and I am unable to even exit from ppoint. The console shows the following: err:syslevel:_EnterSysLevel (0x7f117380, level 2): Holding 0x7fb1fea0, level 3.
