I have found the TIF format (with lossless compression) most suitable for
inclusion in Word documents.
Here's my function for producing a tif plot...
word.tif <- function(filename="Word_Figure.tif", zoom=5, res=96*zoom, width=17,
height=10, pointsize=10, bg='white') {
if (!filename %like% "[.]ti[f]+$") filename = paste(filename,"tif",sep='.')
tiff(filename=filename, res=res, width=width, height=height, units='cm',
pointsize=pointsize, bg=bg, compression="lzw")
}
# usage...
word.tif('random normals', width=10, height=10) # centimetres
plot(rnorm(100))
dev.off()

Subject: [R] Export a plot/figure to excel or word?
Hi all,
I have created forest plots using the package "meta" that I submitted as pdf
for publication. I just received an email from the editor asking me if I could
send these files in an Excel or MS Word format such that they can treat them as
tables with box plots.
I am not sure if I can do this... Is this possible? I've tried the
capture.output command, but I get a blank MS Word document.
Thank you very much in advance,
Best,
Aurelie
