Another trick is to open your save quartz graphics with Preview.app and then Save As... some other graphic format, including png.
Also, copying to the clipboard from the quartz device should copy both in PICT format and PDF format. Copy and paste from the clipboard into Word works, but I'm not able to test if word under windows accepts such embedded PICT files even if Word compatibility report says it is ok. BTW, I think it would be nice if we can produce some WMF format grabbing some code from the copy.to.clipboard funtionality of R for WinDog (unless the code uses some .DLL) I also agree that copy from Excel into R is a nice thing to do, but I don't see too much people willing to implement this. stefano On 29/gen/07, at 21:53, Byron Ellis wrote: > On 1/29/07, Simon Urbanek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> To get back on the topic: To be honest I don't really see a problem >> here - Word can handle PDF very easily, just drop a PDF file in a >> Word document - it works just fine (to make sure I'm talking about >> Office 2004 here). >> >> The fact that it does so in Microsoft-ish way, that is by converting >> it to a bitmap, is a technicality and given the overall quality of >> Word output it is neither surprising nor will a regular Word user >> notice this at all. > > Unfortunately, it happens to convert it to a form of bitmap that is > not visible on PC platforms unless they have Quicktime installed (as I > rediscover every time I need to make a Word document... :-) ) > > > -- > Byron Ellis ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) > "Oook" -- The Librarian > > _______________________________________________ > R-SIG-Mac mailing list > [email protected] > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac > _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Mac mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
