Hi again, Thanks a lot to Jason Turner for the hint to the FAQ-windows. savePlot() seems to be in trouble with lattice objects as much as any other device, which I did not know. I can generate now the metafiles:
> library(lattice) > example(xyplot) > win.metafile() > print(dotplot(variety ~ yield | year * site, data = barley)) > dev.off() windows 2 This gives an alternative solution to the problem I had with the drop-down menu on the windows() device "Copy as metafile". best regards, Jesus -------------------------------------------------------------- Jesús María Frías Celayeta School of Food Sci. and Env.
