[R] Exporting R graphs

[Tito de Morais Luis]

Hi,
I use jpeg or png to export my graphs and I can edit them with "the
gimp" and add anything to them. I can then export them into several
formats, or open the jpeg file with openoffice.

As Thomas suggests you can also use xfig.
xfig can also export its graphs to many other formats.

see ?jpeg
and http://www.gimp.org
