According to my experience, this is a "feature" of PowerPoint which seems to be incapable to display transparent background in PDF. This also concerns transparent background PDF's from other programmes than R. This experience is from Linux & Mac (pdf) and PP in Mac (never tried that with PowerPoint on Linux...). cheers, jari oksanen -- Jari Oksanen, Oulu, Finland ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
