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

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

Hi, I am revising a paper that I am a co-author of. The figures are plots generated from R but at the moment I do not have the R code that generates them. As this is time critical I would like to slightly abuse the list by asking whether anyone knows how to extract from MS Word into a stand-alone graphics file a plot that was pasted into Word from R (probably as a Windows Metafile, but possibly

Hi, sorry for the simple question. I am usually able to change the font for PDF graphics with pdf.options(family="Times") However, I have found no way yet to get an emf file with a times font. I also tried a detour by using pstoedit to convert a pdf with the desired font to an emf but even there the font does not appear as times. Is there a way to get a times font in an emf file or is

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

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,

I am trying to save some graphical output including a legend in the Windows Enhanced Metafile (EMF) format. This fails when xyplot() is used rather than plot(). Here is a simple example: require(lattice) a <- c(1:10) b <- c(2,4,5,2,3,5,7,8,9,5) # Output can be saved (or copied to the clipboard) as a Windows EMF image file # from the Graphics Device output window. plot(a , b)

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

Dear all, I'm stuck with the following problem: I generate graphs using both the grid system (with lattice) and the base system. I'd like to be able to identify these graphs later on with a bit of identifying text (e.g. a date and some comments). Adding text to these graphs cannot be done using a common system if you want to save them as emf files. I now use: mtext("labelling

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 ~

Hello, everyone! The code below allows me to produce the graph I want (I know - the colors are strange, but it's just for the sake of an example). After you run the plot<- part and then do print(plot) - that's what I want. However, when I run the bits of code below (with graphics devices) - what they print is different from the original plot. In .png, .emf, and .tiff - my dots change

Dear R-help, Is it possible to use win.metafile() on *nix versions of R? I tried R 2.1.1 on FreeBSD and R 1.9.0 on redhat with no success. I need to give some graphs generated in R to my boss so that he can modify them in Powerpoint to fit he style of his presentation. Recommendations on other methods are appreciated as well.

Dear all, I'm running into problem in R-1.9.0 that hasn't happened with R-1.8.x If I make a plot with xyplot(), and use the menu to either save to a metafile or copy to clipboard as a metafile to export to eg Powerpoint, I can just copy a blank then. This does not occur with the classical plot(). Thus, I suppose that it may come from lattice or grid (going through the R-archives I

Dear R-helpers, I need to insert an R (2.6.0) generated plot containing semi-transparent colors into PowerPoint (2002). When I directly paste it from the clipboard or insert it as (enhanced) Metafile (I'm on Windows XP) the semi-transparent colors don't show. When I insert it at as a Bmp, Png or Jpeg and then convert to PDF the semitransparent colors do show but the quality of the image

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

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

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

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

Hola, Por favor, necesito guardar en un mismo documento tres gráficos y que éste se pueda abrir en powerpoint para poder insertar las tres gráficas allí. Con jpeg() sólo se me guarda la última gráfica. ¿Alguien me puede ayudar?. Muchas gracias
