[R] Graphics on MacOSX

[Martin Henry H. Stevens]

This is a big issue for me, causing many days of angst. I finally 
stumbled on the following solution. I create a device save an image 
with postscript(). I then open it in Adobe Acrobat, select the area I 
want, enlarge to at least 400%, then copy, then paste into PowerPoint 
or Word. Alternatively, you can simply save a graphics image through 
the gui and it saves it as pdf. Then go through the steps of selecting, 
enlarging and copying in Acrobat. I am guessing real graphics programs 
would work as well (Photoshop or Illustrator), but I don't have those.
