similar to: Lattice + Word: Changing .wmf files to .pdf files

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 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,

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 ... (I was originally going to write to the list to ask why small circles appear to be filled (in src/gnuwin32/graphapp/gdraw.c) by generating a series of rectangles rather than using some kind of

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 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

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

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

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

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, Is there no function in R similar to jpeg(...) or postscript(...) for windows meta files? The function savePlot(...) is not really what I need. I'd like to save the plot on my disk without open a new plot window. And I don't want to save it on my disk and convert it from a *.* to .wmf (there are too many). Thanks for any help Thomas

That is a user error, but the C code is missing a test for a non-NULL pointer. What is unclear is why the

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

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

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

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]]

Hi everyone, I am trying to make some publication-quality plots for use in Microsoft Word, but I am having trouble creating high-quality plots that are supported by Microsoft Word. If I use the R plot function to create the figure, the lines are jagged, and the picture is not of high quality (same with JPEG(), TIFF(), and PNG() functions). I have tried using the Cairo package, but it distorts

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) {

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

Further to my earlier question. Thank you to: John Maindonald, Ramon Diaz-Uriarte, Brian Ripley, Alvaro Novo, Simon Bond and David Scott for your helpful replies. I have looked at the problem in some more detail. I am using Rgui.exe Version 0.64.2 (July 3, 1999) running under Windows NT To demonstrate the problem, I run the program: > win.graph(width=5, height=3) > data(women) >
