Dear R-help community, would any of you have a (preferably simple) example of a presentation-quality .png plot, i.e. one that looks like the .eps plots generated by R? I am working with R 2.0.1 in WindowsXP and am having similar problems as Knut Krueger in printing high-quality plots. I have looked at the help file and examples therein as well as others I have been able to find online but to no avail. After many many tries I have to concede I cannot figure it out. I would be very grateful for your help.
If you want the highest resolution use a vector format, not a bitmapped format such as png. See: http://maths.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/04/02/1168.html
The link is now broken, and I did not copy the hints. Does anybody knows if it its available at any other location? And I tried to find
Thanks for the pointer! .wmf is far superior, I was just in the dark about the format and R's ability to produce it (An Introduction to R "Device drivers" does not mention it and I had obviously missed the deciding last two words in "?device" 'windows')
the wmf command but there is nothing to find with help.search("wmf")
It seems that the links have changed so that the part of the url that reads: http:maths.newcastle.edu.au/~rking needs to be replaced with: http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au That is, the link has changed from: http://maths.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/04/02/1168.html to: http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/04/02/1168.html Alternately google for the message id, which is: <20040221000411.C14FC397E at mprdmxin.myway.com>
