similar to: Save graph as .wmf

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,

This occurred after I installed R x64 2.13.1 on Windows: savePlot("95%.winners.wmf") saves the file as: "951nners.wmf" Is this the correct behavior, or have I bungled something?

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

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, I recently encountered an error using the command "savePlot" when trying to save the third of 3 open graph windows. After successfully saving and closing the first two windows I receive an "Invalid device number in savePlot" error. The following is copied and pasted from an example session to illustrate the behaviour: > windows() > hist(rnorm(100)) > windows()

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]]

HI: I have tried to find a way in which to export/save graphs via the command line. I know i can right click on it and save it as wmf etc. But I was wandering if there is a function such as Splus' export.graph Thanks >From Alberto Nettel's Desk University of Calgary Math & Stats Department.

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

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

Dear R-helpers, I recently upgraded to R 1.9.0 in my computer at work and at home: 1.-The computer at home has Windows XP and Office XP and it seems to work perfectly and I copy-paste graphics perfectly. 2.-The computer at work has Microsoft Windows 2000 (5.00.2195 Service Pack 2) and Word 2000 (9.0.4402 SR-1) I cannot copy-paste windows metafiles into Office applications in my computer at

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

Hi R-hackers I try to write a batch (in Windows, i have to use!) with Rcmd BATCH D:\Test.R D:\Test.Rout and Rterm.exe --no-restore --no-save < D:\Test.R > D:\Test.Rout. In my file Test.R are any tk-codelines (like: Window1 <- tktoplevel(); ... tkbutton...). It works not interactifly, what is written in Rcmd BATCH --help. Exist there a way to do it all the same? Please help...

Hi, A Windows user asked me a question and I believe this is a bug of R 3.0.0 under Windows: > plot(1:10) > savePlot('test.wmf') Error in .External(C_savePlot, device, filename, type, restoreConsole) : Incorrect number of arguments (4), expecting 3 for 'savePlot' > sessionInfo() R version 3.0.0 (2013-04-03) Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) locale: [1]

Hi, I have a file: d:\foo.txt and want to delete this. I tried: system("del d:/foo.txt") works not system("notepad d:/foo.txt") works Is it possible that I can't delete files or do I have misunderstood something? (del is a DOS-command. The "string works" under DOS "\") Thanks a lot Thomas ----- Windows XP R 1.6.2 (update!, I know)

Dear all, I am trying to use layout with xyplot and save the plot in a file. The saved file contains only the last panel (used jpg, wmf and pdf options in the savePlot function) I am not familiar with the graphic file formats and don't know if they can handle multipage output. If not do I need to loop by ndose in the following script ? Here is my script:

Dear R-listers, I got an error when I try to plot two grouped data into a single win.metafile device: library(lattice) trellis.device(device="win.metafile",color=F,filename="Profiles-Var1.wmf") par(mfrow=c(1,2)) # First plot xyplot(log(v)~t|id,data=Con.20, main="Group A: Control, Var-1", xlab="ocasion",ylab="var1", panel=function(x,y) {

I want to plot the unstadardized version of a normal plot.  Can you explain why that is not working?

Hi Folks, I need help with a query about R on Windows, specifically about graphics devices. I'm advising someone remotely (so it's all by email) who is running R on Windows, while I am not (Linux only). Things have reached the stage where saving graphics plots as Windows metafiles is looming. I've been told that the result of "?device" in Windows is as follows (which is

Hi R Users, I'm using following sample code to save png plots. png(file="sample.png", width=8, height=6) Then I copy or use "insert pictures" function to get the image into MS Word. After copying, if I try to stretch or re-size the image it starts getting distorted. Is there a way to standardized graph pixels so that the sharpness of the graph is maintained (at least for
