Has onyone experience with "pstoedit" (http://www.pstoedit.net/pstoedit) to convert eps graphs generated by R on Linux to Windows formats (WMF or EMF)? Does this way work? Is there an other, better way?
You can only do that using pstoedit on Windows.
^^^^^^^^^^
Well, I have pstoedit on Linux and with pstoedit -f emf infile.eps outfile.emf I get what is claimed to be "Enhanced Windows metafile" and which can be imported into Word (though then it is subsequently somewhat resistant to editing operations, such as rotating if it's the wrong way up).
Maybe, but the URL quoted says pstoedit 3.40 # Windows Meta Files (WMF) (Windows 9x/NT only) # Enhanced Windows Meta Files (EMF) (Windows 9x/NT only) so the quoted URL claims otherwise for the current version.
If you follow the link for exact support, you find out that it supports EMF using a wemf - Wogls version of EMF wemfc - Wogls version of EMF with experimental clip support wemfnss - Wogls version of EMF - no subpathes which is apparently different than the MS Windows EMF support. How, it isn't clear from the documentation. best, -tony "Commit early,commit often, and commit in a repository from which we can easily roll-back your mistakes" (AJR, 4Jan05). A.J.
