Is there a reason why this is not a viable option? Hi Kevin, thanks for your reply. Well, I started working with Word because at least one other person needs to edit it and they want to use Word. More fundamentally, it's not clear to me that going through Rmarkdown solves the problem of determining the image format -- at some point a figure is going to get generated and then pasted into a Word document. It's not clear that doing that automatically is going to work better or differently than doing it by hand. Anyway I think I have a working solution at this point so I leave it to others to investigate further possibilities. best, Robert Dodier __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
Re: [R] ISO recommendations for plot output format from R to MS Word
Hi, a quick follow-up about the question about putting R-generated figures into MS Word. I have found by experimenting with some figures and documents that if I import an SVG figure generated by svglite (didn't try other output functions), I can view it okay in my installation of MS Word (Word for Mac 16.16.10), and it looks okay in MS Word for Windows (circa 2016 or 2018) on a laptop I have, and two other people can view it okay (one on Mac and one on Windows). So that seems safe enough to go ahead. YMMV. I am informed that MS Word is actually storing a bitmap image of the SVG figure, which is displayed by non-SVG-aware versions of Word. So that seems like a good safeguard. For the record, I converted the SVG to EPS, PNG, PDF, WMF, and EMF via Imagemagick. EPS and PNG were tolerable, PDF was too fuzzy, and WMF and EMF, at least as generated, could not be displayed (I was a little surprised by that). There are, no doubt, many unanswered questions here, which unfortunately I cannot take the time to explore right now. In summary I found that importing SVG generated by svglite into MS Word for Mac seems to work okay to generate a generally-readable file. Perhaps this experience is useful in some way to others. best, Robert Dodier __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
[R] ISO recommendations for plot output format from R to MS Word
I need to export plots (constructed with plot and with ggplot) from R to be imported into a MS Word document. I am working with MS Word for Mac version 16.16.10 (copyright 2018) and R versions 3.6.3 and/or 4.0.3. I have verified that the version of MS Word which I am working with can import SVG exported from R via svglite. What I am mostly worried about is that other people with possibly different versions of MS Word will not be able to view the document correctly. Towards the goal of creating an MS Word document which others with unspecified versions of MS Word can view correctly, in what format should I export figures from R? I am working with a fairly large number of figures so there is some motivation towards a fully automated process. I have searched various forums and archives, but much of the information may be out of date, so I am hoping that you can help me with some up to date information. Thank you very much for any light you can shed on this problem.

[R] Need recommendation for hash table which accepts integer keys
Hi, I'd like to use integers as keys in a hash table. Can someone recommend a hash table implementation? I would like to avoid doing something like substituting "123" for 123. Here's what I know about different implementations so far: env (built-in) -- integer keys not allowed Dict (CRAN) -- integer keys not allowed hash (CRAN) -- integer keys not allowed nfultz/ht (Github) -- keys can be integers; advertised as being basic and for teaching mkuhn/dict (Github) -- keys can be integers; project is dormant nathan-russell/hashmap (Github) -- keys can be integers; limitations on values I wonder if anyone can suggest a hash table implementation. Perhaps one way to get to an answer is to ask, what did you use last time you needed a hash table which was going beyond what env provides? Thanks for your time, I appreciate your help.

Re: [R] Options for zooming plots other than zm()
Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this discussion. It looks like plotly and dygraphs both work well for zooming plots with thousands of points (and many other things). Thanks again, I appreciate your help. best, Robert Dodier On Fri, Apr 24, 2020 at 11:11 AM Robert Dodier wrote: > > Hi, > > I am making some plots with plot() which have a fair number of points > (thousands) and I would like to be able to interactively select a > region of the plot and zoom in on it.

[R] Options for zooming plots other than zm()
Hi, I am making some plots with plot() which have a fair number of points (thousands) and I would like to be able to interactively select a region of the plot and zoom in on it. I tried the zoom package which has the function zm() but I found that it was unworkably slow to refresh the display. I guess I can set the x and y range via xlim and ylim but I was hoping to do it interactively. Does someone have a suggestion for that? I looked at ggplot2 but I wasn't able to find something about interactive zooming, only noninteractive via plot limits. Perhaps I have overlooked something there? I have searched the mailing list archive and web pages in general but I haven't found anything other than zm().
