Hi Iakub,Do you mind sharing a concrete example of your approach (from R to your script and back to R)? There is a growing demand to produce R plots for government reports that ideally wouldn't require the intervention of a designer to control the typography. While I'm getting a good grip at producing nice looking plots that follow the designer's style sheet, the poor control of typography in R is the last frontier I'm facing...I tried using tikzDevice, but that failed for complicated plots. E.g. maps with road networks from a shapefile become enormous tikz files, causing the LaTeX compilation to fail. A promising approach was to convert R plots exported as svg, usinginkscape -D -z --file=image.svg --export-pdf=image.pdf --export-latex. This separates the text from the graphical elements, allowing the text style and typography to be controlled by Latex. However, the text properties don't seem to be exported (vjust, hjust, etc.).That's unfortunate. While R graphical capabilities are sufficient for scientific publications (not caring too much for the look), full reproducibility is still impossible for higher style requirements as a designer is always required to change things manually. But maybe your approach is the way to go?
