There are three bmp based functions available;:
bmp, jpeg, png
bmp is without compression so I decided not to use it
jpeg is no loss less compression so I decided not to use it
the third was png
Now I tried the other one and I think that there is a bug in the png code or I do not understand the reason:
jpeg(filename = "c:/r/Rplot%03d.jpg", width = 960, height = 960, pointsize = 24, quality = 100, bg = "white", res = 2400)
witdh/heigth = 960 <> 10.16 mm
ppi=2400
Results as expected
jpeg(filename = "c:/r/Rplot%03d.jpg", width = 1920, height = 1920,
pointsize = 48, quality = 100, bg = "white", res = 2400)
witdh/heigth = 1920 <> 20.32 mm
ppi=2400
Results as expected
bmp(filename = "c:/r/Rplot%03d.bmp", width = 1920, height = 1920, pointsize = 48, bg = "white", res = 2400)
witdh/heigth = 1920 <> 20.32 mm
ppi=2400
Results as expected
png(filename = "c:/r/Rplot%03d.png", width = 1920, height = 1920, pointsize = 48, bg = "white", res = 2400)
witdh/heigth = 1920 <> 20.32 mm
ppi=150
Result not as expected.
Ok I am able to use the jpeg or bmp format, but does anybody know why the png function does not work in the same way as the jpeg and bmp function?
