Your best bet is to create an EPS graphic file and then import that into
OO.org. Bear in mind that if you do this, OO.org will import that EPS
file and create a bitmapped preview upon doing so. When you
view on a display or print the file, it will (by default) be the
bitmapped preview that you will see, not the higher quality vector based
EPS image.
Ok, I will have a look at this
BTW, this issue has been covered extensively on the R lists, for both
OO.org and for MS Office.
I have seen the discussions on producing high quality output on the R
forum, but this seemed to be an OOo question as the copy and paste is
fine with Word and Pages, its just with OOo that its horrible.
True, but the R lists have folks who have done this before (myself
included) on various platforms and have a breadth of experience with the
nuances. Putting R plots into other applications is a commonly posted
scenario.
If you are comfortable using LaTeX, the combination of R and SWeave is
the perfect way of generating high quality publications with formatted
tables and plots in a reproducible fashion. You will find a lot of
information on that subject in the r-help archives as well. This is what
I use on Linux when generating reports and presentations involving
statistical/analytic output. I use OO.org (now 3.0) for other tasks.
Well, I do use Latex and Lyx for various things, but have used the
easy to produce PDFs for this. I've had a quick look at SWeave, but
haven't had the time to work out how to use it.
There are a couple of Intro articles in R News and of course, there will
be posts on r-help.
For presentations, in lieu of using Impress or similar, I use the Beamer
package (http://latex-beamer.sourceforge.net/) as the template. You can
create PDF's and then use the full screen mode of most popular PDF
viewers when in front of an audience.
If you search on Google for Sweave, there are also various resources,
such as the following from my neighbors at the U of MN:
http://www.stat.umn.edu/~charlie/Sweave/
or Frank Harrell at Vanderbilt:
http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/twiki/bin/view/Main/StatReport
Also, Max Kuhn has put together a CRAN package called odfWeave, which
provides SWeave-like functionality for ODF/OO.org:
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/odfWeave/index.html
I have not used it and I think that presently, it does not quite have
all of the functionality of SWeave, but it would definitely be something
to check out.
Search the r-help list archives here:
http://www.rseek.org/
http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/search.html
Finally, before I forget and if you are not aware, there is a R-SIG-MAC
list. More information here:

[OT] BTW, were you as disappointed as I was that Jobs did not announce any
quad core MacBook Pros this morning? I would run out and buy one if he
did. I was watching a live blog of the presentation over on Gizmodo. Too
much emphasis on using nVidia GPUs for my taste...I am not a big fan of
nVidia at the moment...
