[R] Postscript files graphic quality and other problems

[Mario José]

Hi all,

excuse me my question. I read that eps have bmp incorporated and this
bmp maybe have different resolution. But eps file not have resolution. I
try import in Word and OpenOffice but this editors don't import my file.
I create a pdf file with eps file on pdfcreator and this is ok. I try on
LyX too and is ok. The problem is in Word/OpenOffice.

Thank you and excuse me again.

Best regards,

Mario
