Graphical output format
Thank you, Paul. Postscript, however, does not have to be what I need for two reasons. First, it does not accept some special characters from foreign languages (exactly like PDF). Second, not too many journals accept it. So from your -- and Daniel's -- reply I understand other formats will not work well? (Byt bad I understand the quality of the images, which is perfectly seen on fonts). Thanks, Wolf

You don't say what is bad about the other formats, but I can imagine.
There is a png issue in Linux we were complalaining about a while ago.
Journals will take postscript in my experience. ?Try these options
postscript("file.eps", height=6, width=6, onefile=F, horizontal=F,
paper="special")
The onefile is needed to get a bouning box.
you might try adding the paper option to your pdf command because it
eliminates that huge margin on top of the output

Dear colleagues,
Saving a plot with pdf gives a very nice result:
pdf("myplot.pdf")
par(font=1,family='serif')
plot(pressure)
dev.off()
Doing the very same with other formats (png, jpeg, tiff) gives far
worse results. Is there anything to do to make a plot in some other
format than pdf look like the pdf? Hardly any journal accepts pdf
files for figures, and most do accept png and jpeg -- so no matter
what I think about this, I must follow this rule. What can I do, then?
I am using R 2.9.0 for Windows XP.
Many thanks in advance,
Wolf
