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

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'.

It seems that the links have changed so that the part of the url that reads: http:maths.newcastle.edu.au/~rking needs to be replaced with: http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au That is, the link has changed from: http://maths.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/04/02/1168.html to: http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/04/02/1168.html Alternately google for the message id, which is: <20040221000411.C14FC397E at mprdmxin.myway.com>

As I mentioned last month (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2005-July/074591.html) I've been able to run R under Wine and use it to produce windows metafiles.
Cheers, RJ Cunningham

It seems that the links have changed so that the part of the
url that reads:

needs to be replaced with:
http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au
That is, the link has changed from:

to:

Alternately google for the message id, which is:

There is a useful summary of differences between bitmapped and vector graphics at: http://www.stc-saz.org/resources/0203_graphics.pdf
