Is there a way to do it in R? Especially generating plot in EPS/PDF format. By transparent I mean clear (not white) background. I want to attached it to dark PPT slides. - Gundala Viswanath

if you not persist in using pdf, the emf format works very well with PPT
and has a transparent background.
Its the way you copy&paste pdf-graphs form Acrobat to PPT which causes
the solid (white) background - unfortunately ppt has no builtt in
support for pdf-graphs.
By default pdfs have a transparent background, see ?pdf and there the bg
part,
which can be proven by a minimal R+ LaTeX example
#R code
pdf("test.pdf")
plot(1,1)
dev.off()
#minimal tex example
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage[svgnames]{xcolor}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\pagecolor{green}
\includegraphics[width=.5\textwidth]{test.pdf}
\end{document}

I really like those bizarre green pages. Thanks for sharing. :-) Christof
