Hi!

I could not run this example:
Error: couldn't find function "win.metafile"

I am using Linux. Does this function only exist in the windows version
of R? Why? Does it need some functions of the OS itself? Can the Linux
version of R be invoked or compiled with a switch enabling WMF support?

Eps is perfect for a paper, but I would need the same graphs in a MS
Power Point presentation es well. I tried OpenOffice, but it could not
import the eps image.

Do I have to re-run my script on a windows PC?

Gabor
