[R] Graphical output format

[Daniel Malter]

Hi, postscript should do, "*.eps" specifically.

x=rnorm(100,0,1)
e=rnorm(100,0,1)
y=x+e

postscript("myeps.eps")
plot(y~x)
dev.off() 

Cheers,
Daniel

Betreff: [R] Graphical output format

Dear colleagues,

Saving a plot with pdf gives a very nice result:

pdf("myplot.pdf")
par(font=1,family='serif')
plot(pressure)
dev.off()

Doing the very same with other formats (png, jpeg, tiff) gives far worse
results. Is there anything to do to make a plot in some other format than
pdf look like the pdf? Hardly any journal accepts pdf files for figures, and
most do accept png and jpeg -- so no matter what I think about this, I must
follow this rule. What can I do, then?

I am using R 2.9.0 for Windows XP.

Many thanks in advance,
Wolf
