[R] Forst Plot: Multipage Output

[David L Carlson]

If you have a pdf driver such as CutePDF (free), you can use it to divide the large plot Jim suggested into smaller sheets using poster mode. You can open the multipage pdf in Word and it will convert the pdf pages but you will lose any labelling that is not horizontal. The alternative would be to open the multipage pdf file using Irfanview (free) and save the pages as raster files (tif or png) for import into Word.

e.g.

> pdf("Test.pdf", width=22, height=17)
> plot(runif(100), runif(100), pch=16, las=1)
> dev.off()

Using las=1 will print the y-axis labels horizontally. Now open Test.pdf in Acrobat Reader and print to CutePDF using the poster mode.

thank you for your answer, Jim!

I want to embed the forest plot in a word document :-)  So I probably have
to make some specifiations within the forest () function (like landscape
and mulitpage format), if possible at all ?

Best,

Verena
