[R] Exporting Numerous Graphs
Hi all, I have got 27 graphs to export (not a lot...I know!). How can I fit all of them into a single file like PNG without adjusting the size of the graphs? What's in my mind is like pasting graphs into Word, in which I can just scroll down to view the graphs. Thanks for your attention. Much appreciated.

Pretty sure PNG can only cope with single 'page' images - the page can be as
big as it wants but then when it comes to things like printing its gonna cause
problems as I doubt many graphics packages can split it over the page? So
they'll either crop it or scale it. 27 on 1 page is gonna be very small?
TIFF can handle multiple pages and of course so can PDF. I don't know of an
export to TIFF function. So I'd suggest exporting to PDF - and exporting to 27
different file names (1 to 27.pdf) Then using a tool like pdfshuffler (linux
GUI based) or using command line ghostscript (windows or linux)
gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=merged.pdf 1.pdf 2.pdf
3.pdf ...etc... 27.pdf
(This is a linux command not a R command. The widnwos version will be very
simillar I suspect)
That'd give you a 27 page pdf file with each graph on a new page? Much easier
to scroll through than using a scroll bar on a graphics package - you can go
back to Page 5 and on to page 9 to compare quickly rather than having to
manually scroll to find the right info. Plus PDF is vector based which means
future importing into decent desktop publishing packages should avoid and
issues with loss / scaling.
I believe its also possible with psmerge using postscript and so possible EPS
files.

Re: [R] Exporting Numerous Graphs
Hi,
It's probably easiest with the pdf (or postscript) device,
pdf(all.pdf)
for(ii in 1:27)
plot(rnorm(10), main=paste(plot, ii))
dev.off()
Bitmap-based devices can generate sequential filenames (Rplot1.png,
Rplot2.png, ...) that you could combine in a single document using external
tools (e.g. a pdf file with latex, or an html template that you can view in
a browser, etc.).
For example, create the following file template.brew,
!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd;
html lang=en
head
meta http-equiv=content-type content=text/html; charset=utf-8
titletitle/title
link rel=stylesheet type=text/css href=style.css
script type=text/javascript src=script.js/script
/head
body
%
for (ii in 1:27) {
filename - paste(plot,ii, .png, sep=)
png(filename)
plot(rnorm(10), main=paste(plot, ii))
dev.off()
%
pimg src=% cat(filename) % p/
% } %
/body
/html
and process it in R using,
library(brew)
brew(template.brew, template.html)

Re: [R] Exporting Numerous Graphs
You can wite them out as single files (png('file-%02d.png',...)) and
then import them to Word.

Re: [R] Exporting Numerous Graphs
Try this:
library(RDCOMClient)
w - COMCreate('Word.Application')
w[[Visible]] - TRUE
w[[DisplayAlerts]] - FALSE
doc - w$Documents()$Add(Template=Normal, NewTemplate=FALSE,
DocumentType=0)
fooPasteGraphs - function(index, ...){
win.metafile()
plot(rnorm(100))
dev.off()
w$Selection()$Paste()
}
lapply(1:27, fooPasteGraphs)
doc$SaveAs(FileName = graphs.doc, FileFormat = wdFormatDocument)
doc$Close()
w$Quit()
doc - w - NULL
rm(doc, w)
