I don't think you understood what was being recommended. (I thought) Heimstra was suggesting that you _not_ use savePlot and instead use the functions that are designed for creating postscript or pdf files, pdf() or postscript().

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your answer, but I have the same problem whether I use pdf or eps files. PDF are actually worse than EPS.

Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance for your help

Dear R users,

I would like to edit my graphics in Illustrator. I know that I can set up almost every graph parameter in R, but the time I will spend searching for the correct settings might not be worth since I'm quite used to Illustrator and since I will in any case use Illustrator to prepare for publication.

Up to now, I've used savePlot() with type=("eps") but I'm unable to dissociate every part of the plot in Illustrator.

Is there a better way to do it? Another function, another package, or a completely different approach? I'm of course open to all suggestions.

For info, I run R2.10 on Windows XP

Thanks in advance
Ivan

Hi,

I mostly use pdf to store my results from R. In R code it would look like:

pdf("bla.pdf")
plot commands...
dev.off()

I can read these pds into Inkscape (opensource vector drawing program) and edit all the indvidual lines and such. I can imagine Illustrator should also be able to read these pdfs.

cheers,
Paul
