Copying between devices (as in dev2bitmap) is not a good way to produce
high-quality graphs, and especially not if you change the size.
What is wrong with
pdf("test.pdf", width=6, height=6)
< re-run the plot commands>
dev.off()
?

Hi list,
When exporting to PDF a graph with a legend, in the final PDF, the text is
going beyond the legend box.
dev2bitmap("test.pdf", type="pdfwrite", h=6, w=6)
The legend looks OK on the screen.
I noticed that the size of the legend box depends on the size of the screen
window, which is not the case for other graphical parts (text of the legend,
title, axis text...)
Any tip on how to deal with this?
Another problem I encounter, which may be linked to this is:
When I want to export PDFs to a given size with dev2bitmap (let's say h=3 and
w=3), the size of the text of x-labels, y-labels and the x-axis annotations
is not adjusted. The margins also keep the same size. Then if the size is too
small, all the text fields overlap and the result is not nice.
How to change this? I guess it's possible since the on the screen (x11) the
margins are adjusted relative to the size of the plot.
If you know one good tutorial to help creating ready-to-publish graphics, I
would appreciate the reference.
Thanks for your help
Julien

R version 2.6.2 (2008-02-08)

With R version 2.7.0 you have other possibilities, including
dev.copy2pdf() and quartz(type="pdf").
