Hi Duncan,
Based upon the subsequent exchange with Rich late yesterday, I could not
replicate the problem that he was having with lattice (OSX versus Windows), so
I don't believe that this is germane any longer. I also used trellis.device()
just as an alternative to calling postscript()
your eps file appears as an icon in powerpoint 2010 and 2013 on windows 7
in my VM.
the same file opens as a proper graph on powerpoint 2011 in Mac.

Rich,
Any chance that you have access to a native Windows machine or to a colleague
that does to try the files.
I am wondering if there is any chance that there is something about running
Office in Windows under a VM on OSX that might be involved in some manner.
BTW, which VM (VMWare,
i have parallels 8 as the vm.
i can try a native pc this afternoon.

On Vista with Powerpoint 2007, file2.eps crashes powerpoint,
Once file.eps displayed, several times it crashed powerpoint.
My task is now to see if ghostscript can read a pdf or ps or eps and
convert it to png at res=300.
Do you know the incantation for that?

Rich,
That's scary. Well, I could make a comment about Vista, but that would take us
in a whole new direction... ;-)
As far as GS, for an EPS file to a PNG, try something along the lines of:
gs -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -r300 -dEPSCrop -sDEVICE=png16m
-sOutputFile=file.png file.eps
That
perfect. since I really want to start with pdf or ps, these work on both
Mac and Windows
## rmh for pdf
gs -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -r300 -sDEVICE=png16m
-sOutputFile=testplot.png testplot.pdf
## rmh for ps
gs -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -r300 -dPSCrop -sDEVICE=png16m
-sOutputFile=Living.png

png(png300.png, res=300, width=2880, height=1440)
gives good behavior. Thank you. This will become my standard for export
to powerpoint.
postscript(file='file.eps', onefile=FALSE)
produces eps files that powerpoint rejects, even though ghostview is
satisfied.

Rich,
You are missing some options in the call to postscript() below. It needs to be:
postscript(file = file.eps, width = x, height = y,
horizontal = FALSE, onefile = FALSE, paper = special)
The first line needs to have values for 'x' and 'y' for the width and height of
the
Thanks Marc,
the extra arguments to postscript still don't produce something that
PowerPoint will accept.
With your call, PP still displayed only the icon. PP did not generate its
own png file.
Since my immediate goal is the projection screen for a PowerPoint
presentation, I will go
directly to
Hi Rich,
Seems to work for me using Powerpoint in MS Office 2011 for Mac.
I used the following code:
postscript(file = file.eps, height = 4, width = 4,
horizontal = FALSE, onefile = FALSE, paper = special)
plot(rnorm(20))
dev.off()
Then I used the insert picture from file
Marc,
very interesting.
Your example works on Windows. This example doesn't work on windows

+ horizontal = FALSE, onefile = FALSE, paper = special)
barchart(1:3)
dev.off()
Several examples, including the real one I was
Hi Rich,
That's curious.
I noted that you are using barchart() below which is lattice versus base
graphics. Is there any difference in the result on Windows if you use barplot()
instead? If so, perhaps there is something about lattice graphics in this
context.
Also, are you using Office 2008
office 2011 on mac, 2013 on windows.
i see the same misbehavior in base and lattice.
my standard simple test is
plot(1:10)
which is base.
did you try the windows side yet?

I sometimes had trouble with postscript and pdf files with lattice
and I printed with trellis.device(device = pdf, ...) or
trellis.device(device = postscript, ...)
I wonder if this is the case here

I have colleagues who use powerpoint. When I send my colleagues pdf files
or ps files, powerpoint
rejects them. Powerpoint does accept some eps files.
I have been able to use pdf2ps to convert some pdf files into ps files, and

Hello,
I would avoid the use of vector files for presentation, as Powerpoint will
display a rasterized version off the vectorized image (if I am not
mistaken). I always directly use raster files, as png.
For eps, I use the following command in R.
postscript(file='file.eps', onefile=FALSE,
