[R] R: Including R plots in a Microsoft Word document
Greetings List, I am conducting some large simulations using R. As a result, I get many plots but I'm having some trouble with including some of them in a Microsoft Word document. Can any one tell me the easiest method of having copies of the R-graphs in the Word documents?

Re: [R] R: Including R plots in a Microsoft Word document
Hello, I first would like to thank all of you for your great ideas. However, I agree with Paul particularly in that the answer is more complicated than other people make it seem when you have many graphs. I am trying all the ideas. It seems that all of them work but with some difficulties. I have Windows 2000 and MS Office 200. It seems to me that the easiest way of solving the problem is through saving the file in Bmp or Jpeg format and edit it in a graphic program such as Photoshop then insert it in the file. I will continue trying all methods to find the easiest.

I use Linux, coauthors use Windows, and the eps files I make from R don't work with MS Word. Well, the don't ever have previews and they sometimes won't print at all when I use CrossOver Office with MS Office 2000 in Linux. My coauthor says he can often wrestle my eps files into word on his system with Office 2003. People keep telling me to use gsview to insert the preview panes into eps files, and that does work, but more than one half of the time my system creates eps files that look significantly worse than the originals. Sometimes it inserts a blank page at the top of the eps or it reshapes a figure. I don't care enough about MS to try to track that down. It just pisses me off. As a result, I think the answer is more complicated than other people make it seem. I don't think it does any good to output a pdf file because, as I learned yesterday, MS Word users can't import a pdf file into a doc. Clearly, if you are an MS windows user of R, you can save graphics in the windows meta format (wmf) (or is it enhanced meta format, emf?). That will go more or less seamlessly into Word. If you have a chance to boot into Windows, and you really must make an image that works well with Word, then you should boot into Windows, run your R in there and make the wmf file. If you are a Linux/Unix user, and you are too proud to use Windows, the problem is much more difficult to deal with. If you are ABSOLUTELY SURE that your image does not need to be resized in any way, you could output from R into a picture type format, such as png. As long as the image does not need to resized in any way, that will be fine. If it is resized, then all bets are off. I find that the R output to the xfig format is quite good and I can edit files in xfig. You can edit those files, add text, so its very very handy. So right now I'm looking for a good bridge from xfig format to Word. But I just started investigating that. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Fri, Feb 20, 2004 at 05:54:33PM +0200, Mahmoud K.

Greetings, Thank you Gabor for your great explanation. I feel ok with it. Best regards..

There are two basic classes of format: - vector graphics such as windows metafile (wmf) and svg where the actual structure of the drawing is stored.Editing these can be done with no loss of resolution and you can access the individual components of the plot, the titles, the points, etc. directly. - bitmapped (also called raster) graphics such as jpg and png where the drawing is stored as a sequence of pixels. You can't access the individual objects in a plot with raster graphics since the image is just a set of pixels. Resizing involves a loss of resolution. Windows metafiles are the preferred format for Word. They are vector graphics, not raster, and they can be edited from within Word directly -- you don't need another editing program. This should be much easier than using bmp or jpg together with Photoshop. You can either generate wmf files by right clicking the plot and copying to the clipboard or using R code like this: win.metafile(/myfile.wmf) plot(1:10) dev.off() followed by Insert | Picture | File in Word. In Paul's case he is generating his images in Linux, where I gather Windows metafiles are not available, but in your case everything is on Windows so you should not have that problem. --- Date: Sat, 21 Feb 2004 00:38:37 +0200 From: Mahmoud K.
