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")
Searching for acronyms is not usually a good idea. Searching for `metafile' should work (on Windows). Note that R can produce Windows metafiles only on Windows, which is why it is not in `An Introduction to R'.
