Previous posters have argued for EPS files as a desirable transfer format for quality reasons. This is of course true when the output is through a Postscript device. However, the original poster is making presentations with PowerPoint. Those essentially are projected from the screen -- and sc

Hello, IMHO, for the printer 1 - The best choice of graphics format is postscript ( PS ) in Microsoft ( M$ ), since you install the M$ Convert Pack [1]! Make a preview in PS file with EMF format! use epstool for this 2 - Enhanced MetaFile ( EMF ) in M$ and OpenOffice ( OOo) is not the same...

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 help

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
