The quality is even higher in postscript or PDF. > I'm working with R.1.6.1. on Windows. > If somebody is interested, I could send them the files, they are very > small (45 KB). You cannot look at a win.metafile (it is a binary file in a proprietary format); you need an application to display it and there is no reason why that application should preserve the aspect ratio. I just tried pasting into Word, inserting in Word and a clipboard viewer and all preserved the aspect ratio, but in each case it could be lost by resizing. What exactly did you do with the metafile? -- Brian D.
