Try using Paste, Special in WORD or PowerPoint. The graphic will be slightly smaller too but I find the size is just right.
What works better for me, but does require some forethought, is something like this: graphics.off() windows(width = 5.8, height = 5.8, pointsize = 12) par(mar = c(4.5, 4.5, 4, 0.5) + 0.1)# <-- sized to fit your graphic. ### Customizing par() may solve your cut & paste problem, too. ### ### graphic generating logic goes here. ### savePlot("graphic name", type = "wmf") The rather than cut & paste, I use WORD or PowerPoint's "insert" to point to the new graphic.

Hi... I copy a plot to the clipboard via win.metafile and then paste the clipboard into a powerpoint show. The problem is that there is considerable white space between the edges of the plot and the figure pasted into powerpoint. I've tried many par settings to get less white space between the plot sides and the bounding box.. but haven't succeeded. win.metafile("", height=3, width=3) plot(1:10) dev.off() Thanks, Lance [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
