How to vectorize plot graphic?
Thanks Carl. Yeah, I can get vectorized graphics out via
ggsave("temp.pdf") too. But I need to add the graphic to a word doc on
windows. Hence the desire to use wmf, which should induce a vector
format (shouldn't it?).

Off the top of my head, I'd suggest trying ggsave() with the extension ".svg" . I realize that SVG files are not recognized by some image display apps (Microsoft Windows I'm looking at YOU), but IMHO it's the best choice for vectorized images. Alexander Shenkin wrote
Hi Folks, Using ggplot, I've produced the following graphic: http://i.imgur.com/39a139C.png The graphics in the plot seem to be bitmapped and not vectorized. That is, the vertical and horizontal lines jump rows of pixels instead of having just nice, angled lines. Any thoughts about how to get these graphics vectorized? Or am I misunderstanding something? Another example: The code: require(ggplot2) df = data.frame(x = c(1:360), y = sin(seq(0,2*pi*3,length.out = 360))) ggplot(df, aes(x=x, y=y)) + geom_line() produces http://i.imgur.com/mjjSKih.png Perhaps what I'm dealing with here is my screen resolution. However, I use ggsave() to save .wmf files, and those also turn out to be bitmaps and not vectors. Thanks, Allie [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
