Hi,
Can anyone suggest some help for saving or copying graphs I've created
in the Quartz screen? I've read the R-FAQ and tried to search for
answers, but have not found anything. I'm using a Mac, Mountain Lion OS,
and have version 2.15.2 of R.
I don't know the cause of the problem you're seeing, but I generally
recommend to people that they generate graphs in the final format,
rather than saving them from some other format.
In your case, that would mean working out the code to make your plot
look good on screen, then redo it all directly to the pdf device, by
simply wrapping the code in
pdf(file="foo.pdf")
... your code to draw the plot ...
dev.off()
This is preferable because the graphics system makes some choices
(spacing, etc.) based on the characteristics of the output device; if
you copy from a screen device to a print device, those
choices may be different.

When I save a graphic, the process either crashes R, or if it saves a
file, when I open it I get a blank file or an error message that reads
"The file Rplot.pdf could not be opened." When I try to copy the graphic
instead to paste into any other program (Word, Excel, etc), a blank
image frame is all I get. I have also tried running graphics and either
saving or exporting from RStudio and have the same issues.
I assume there is some package I've not loaded or some bug fix I need to
get, but I can't find any documentation about it. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Heather Chapman
