Dear all, I am new to this list and, unfortunately, could not provide help to anyone as yet. I hope I can do so in the future, though! Until then, I am grateful for helpful hints from you more experienced users.
For use in an upcoming publication, I generated an eps figure from my x11 window under Debian Linux with dev.copy2eps. It contains 28 line plots with 2 lines each, one solid and one dotted (they show event-related brain potentials in two different conditions, if this is of interest for someone). The plots are arranged in a window with width=5 inch and height = 6 inch, so single plots are quite small. Now the problem: When I include the file in Latex or other word processing programs, the dotted line is almost unreadable. The whole waveform consists of, say, 20 dots, which hardly form a curve. The same problem occurs under MS Windows with dev.copy2eps(). However, when I directly plot the device under Windows, the dotted lines are nice. Thus, the problem is presumably special to eps "export". I know that I could do an easy workaround by using thick/thin lines or black/grey ones, but publication offices say that such lines are hard to distinguish for the reader in the final print version. Also, I searched this list for something like "high resolution plots", but I learend that eps as a vector format does not have a fixed resolution (and thus no option to make ist "higher"). Plotting the figure to another device (png, bmp) reveals the expected curves, but bitmaps are often not accepted. Does anyone have a hint, or does anyone have the same problem? Thank you in advance for your help! Gregor P.S.: The dotted lines are not fuzzy, but "stretched" in the way that the point are to far away from each other to appear continuos. The same is with other non-solid lines (dashed etc). -- Dr. rer. nat.
