Re: [R] R and Power Point
Hello Erin, Have you tried changing the font to a large, bold face font in the GUI preferences? This may take care of the resolution issues without needing to use power point, and give you the flexibility of a live R session.

Re: [R] R and Power Point
Erin, From an Rgui graphics window (windows() device), Ctrl-W will save the current graph to the clipboard as a metafile; Ctrl-C will save as a bitmap. In PPt, Ctrl-V will paste either into a blank spot on a slide. The metafile is a Windows vector spec that will be sharper and smaller. However, I have had trouble when viewing them on different PCs with different fonts installed. Bitmaps will get around that but have all the usual limitations of ... bitmaps.

Hi Erin,
For presentations I use LaTeX with beamer.cls and Sweave to access
R. The results are legible and attractive. The method is not
simple at first, since you must understand how to use beamer.cls
and Sweave. But once you're in production mode, it's a delight.

Please put some up on the web somewhere! I'm just learning beamer,
and don't need it for R right now, but I'm sure I will eventually.
I'll do so soon, and let the list know. Before that, please ask, and
I'll send you the .Rnw and .tex files.
P.S. How do I add page numbers to slides? I see in the manual a
section called The Headline and Footline that apparently tells me
how to do it using an option [page number], but I don't see where
to put that.
\setbeamertemplate{footline}[page number]
This works, but has side effects on the appearance of my theme (I use
Warsaw) that I don't know yet how to deal with.

A ten second - I have to run - cross my fingers that I'm correct
reply: one way is to use pre-defined templates. Try to add
\useoutertheme{infolines}
which should give you a line of author, short title, date, and *frame* number.

Instead of saving to a file first, have you tried cutting from R and pasting directly to PowerPoint? File | Copy to Clipboard | As a Metafile Paste onto PowerPoint page In PowerPoint, the graphic has no background. Set a background color (if desired): Right click on graphic | Format Picture | Colors and Lines | Fill | Change from No Fill to white, or desired background color Sometimes resizing even with a metafile is a problem in PowerPoint (or Word). Drawing the right size in R before cutting and pasting often solves that problem. For some very complicated graphics (e.g., a large heatmap), use Copy to Clipboard | As a Bitmap to avoid delays in redrawing the graphic whenever the page is shown. efg __ 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

Thanks. That gives a bit more than I want, but it gives me some leads
to go fixing things...

Re: [R] R and Power Point
Erin, Another option. I'm saving R screens as postscript files, opening them in Ghostview and copying and pasting to blank slides in Powerpoint. I can't detect any deterioration in quality. Convenient when you have a lot of slides to make in a hurry. Ghostview and Ghostscript (required to run Ghostview) are freeware on the web.
