One solution is to use the grab function with xv. But it is tedious.... So is there a R function that can save automatically the result of a plot in a gif or ps or bmp file Thanks Olivier
When I want code that works on either Windows or *N*X, I usually use Portable Network Graphics (png) files. Do a "help (png)" for the details. "png" files can be imported into Word documents and displayed with most browsers. Dealing with PostScript is a pain on Windows, "gifs" have intellectual property issues as Dr. Ripley noted, and "bmp" files are *huge*. "wmf" files work great on Windows; if I don't need portability, that's what I use on Windows R. But *N*X R doesn't make "wmf" files yet. -- M.
