I'm a Mac OS X user. Is there any way of transferring an R plot or chart to a Mac (or UNIX) graphics program so it can be modified? Cheers, Peter

Yes. The best way depends on which graphics program you have. If you can edit PDF files (eg Photoshop with Acrobat) then use the pdf() driver. The xfig() driver produces files that you can edit with the Unix Xfig program. If neither of these is available, you can produce png() bitmap graphs (at least on the Darwin version of R) and edit these in most image editing programs. -thomas
If on Unix (I don't know about Mac) I'd export the graph as an xfig picture, then edit it in xfig, then from xfig export it out to other formats. Take a look at : ?xfig
