[R] How to save Results in svg format

[Spencer Graves]

	  I often have trouble with font sizes in the svg files, because they 
rarely are the same as what I see on the screen.  I then have to read 
the documentation for "par" and play with the cex, cex.axis, cex.lab, 
cex.main, and cex.sub parameters until I get what I want in the svg 
file.  I may also need to play with the "mar" argument in "par". 
Occasionally, I may also have to research some of the other plot 
parameters.


	  In some cases, I may also need a png file.  I can use "png" in the 
same way as "svg", but the cex, etc., parameters must be set 
differently.  I've recently learned how to open an svg file in the free 
open-source software GIMP and adjust the "Resolution" from the 90 
pixels/in default to something more like 300 to get what I want.  I 
couldn't import an svg file recently into a Google Doc.  The 90 pixels 
per inch default conversion didn't look very clean and sharp after 
imported into a Google Doc.  I tried 600 pixels/in and found that Google 
Doc looked like it accepted it at first.  However, when I went back 
later, I found that it had subsequently malfunctioned.  I tried 300 
pixels/in, and I think that worked, though I'm not 100% certain.


	  hope this helps.
