similar to: win.metafile and Linux

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,

Platform: Windows 95 Version : R0641 Problem : I wish to plot and save a large number of graphics files in windows metafont format. I have a very crude postscript printing function, which happily handles repeated calls: psf<-function(filename){ dev.print(postscript,file=paste(sep="",filename,".ps"),horizontal=F) return() } To produce metafont files, I

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 all, I recently discovered how great win.metafile is for getting high resolution graphics into word. Having problems with specifying families though... #pdf works fine pdf("test.pdf",width=14,height=9) par(family="Helvetica") plot(1:10) text(4,4,"trial") dev.off() windows 2 #metafile doesnt like helvetica family

Hi All: I'm using win.metafile() to produce windows metafiles. When I use Word to insert the wmf picture, Word gives an error! I did my homework in posting this question, and couldn't find a fix. Any suggestions? Phil Smith CDC

Hi, how can I save an image as a metafile? I know within windows you can do a right click and then 'save image as metafile' but I use Mac OS X...I know as well that mac users have a right click as well, but it does not work. Is there a command in R for saving images as metafiles? Regards, mentor -- View this message in context:

gday R friends, I was wondering if anyone could help me with some graphics issues please. I'm processing R in batch on redhat6.2 with some graphics to be imported into msword on NT. For scaling within my doco I want some vector type graphics. win.metafile doesn't seem to be supported on redhat which gives me postscript. postscript is ideal but doesn't contain a preview so I

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 ~

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

I am having trouble getting smooth-appearing curves in figures produced as windows metafiles using R (R-1.1.1 on Windows 98). When I import them into a word processor (either MS Word 97, or WordPerfect 9.0), the figures appear only slightly bumpy on screen, but when printed, there is a clear jaggedness reminiscent of aliasing. Is there a fix for this (if the answer is "upgrade to 1.2",

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

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,

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, 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

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

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 ...

Greetings List, I am conducting some large simulations using R. As a result, I get many plots but I'm having some trouble with including some of them in a Microsoft Word document. Can any one tell me the easiest method of having copies of the R-graphs in the Word documents? Best regards Mahmoud [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
