Re: [R] Include externally generated pdf in output (without Sweave)

2010-10-04 Thread Greg Snow 
Importing as pixel image then replotting will probably reduce the quality of 
the graph.  Another approach is to use the pdftk program (I have seen versions 
for unix and windows) to add/insert the original pdf page into your document.

 Thanks to you and Baptiste Auguie. Looks like the best way would be to
 import the picture as a pixel graphics with read.picture. It might be

[R] Include externally generated pdf in output (without Sweave)

2010-10-03 Thread Dieter Menne 
Dear useRs,

I generated a simple image-based report using the sequence:

pdf()
plot(.)
textplot( for short texts, from gplots)
dev.off()

Is there an easy way to include an single pdf-page from an external file
(not R generated).

Note: For final reports, I know how to use Sweave, but I am looking for a
quick solution with less overhead. Something like textplot() for pdf.


Dieter

Hello Dieter,

Looking at this thread (from 2005)
http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/05/10/14320.html
It seems you can't read a pdf file to R (at least then, I hope there was an
update since).

BUT

You could potentially read an image file (like, for example, tiff) using
something like
read.picture {SoPhy}
And then write that into the PDF you are creating in R.

The best thing is if there was some function to read a vector file into R
(and not only the pixel).  Maybe such a function exits, you should check.

Either way, great question.
Tal

Hi,

Check the grImport package (I think it has a vignette, perhaps on Paul
Murrell's homepage.)

HTH,
