Hi, I am new to this mailing list. Didn`t find the answer in the archives. But I guess, there are people out there, who know the solution: In an automatic script, I want to produce simple plots. First I prefer pdf, because of scalability and standardization. But when I have too many datapoints (say 300.000) the viewing and printing is very, very slow. So I decided to take some bitmapped format when passing 5.000 datapoints, because most of them are in one cloud. As a result, the png is nice and fast to handle and in Linux it is very easy to convert it to pdf with imagemagick. So far so good. The problem is, that the font size and the point-size of the plotpoints and the all of the plot is getting much smaller when using png-format. Why is this and how can I circumvent this issue? These are the two devices, I am opening for the two reasons:
1) pdf("name_out.pdf",11,3.5) 2) bitmap("name_out.png",height=3.5,width=11) all should be the same, isn`t it? Thanks in advance, Stephan -- Dr. med.
