Dear Bernard, if you use MS Powerpoint, it seems likely to me that you are using the Windows version of R. Are you aware of the fact, that you can just right-click on any graph and copy it to the clipboard (copy as metafile or similar). That way you get a vectorized version of the graph, which

Hi, all, (Sorry to highjack the thread, but I think the OP should also know this) One of the plots Marc mentions is xyplot. Has anybody else on this list had a problem with lattice and win.metafile (or Ctrl-W in the R graphics device)? I will sometimes import wmf files (or Ctrl-V) with lattice

Most useful: the Ungroup command in ppt lets you take apart the graph when you insert it as wmf. I often resort to that when I want to change labels / fonts / colours etc. Very flexible. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/PowerPoint-t1835745.html#a5016074 Sent from the R
