[R] R with png for solaris?

[Roger Koenker]

Yes, I now agree.  I had had some trouble with postscript to pdf conversion
and had not tried the pdf() option, but it is now clear that either of
Peter's options are preferable to png() for what I wanted, which by the
way was pdflatex |ppower4 |acroread for projected slides.  Thanks to all
for the very helpful advice.
