This is not really a programming question, but I try here none the less.

I once used latex for my reports. But the people I work with needs to make small edits and do not have latex skillz. Openoffice is then the way to go. But saving ggplot images with dpi >100 makes for really ugly graphs. dpi = 600 is a no go (e.g. huge legend). So what to do?

I currently save (still via ggsave) to eps - which openoffice can import. But performance is not good at all.

Googling I found a bug for the poor eps performance in OOo, and also talk about a non-implemented svg feature. But none helps me right now.

If you work with ggplot2 and OOo - What do you do? I have been unsuccesfull with pdf conversion for some reason.

I have a couple of questions regarding facetting in ggplot2... Let's say I have a query that returns data that looks like this: (note that it's ordered by Rank asc, Alarm asc and two Alarms have a Rank of 3 because their Totals = 1798 for Week 4, and Rank is set according to Total for Week 4) … >>> More

I'm trying to display frequencies within barplot ... well, I want them somewhere in the graph: under the bars, within bars, above bars or in the legend area. And I recall (I may be wrong) that it can be done in ggplot2. This is probably an easy one... at least it seems easy. Here's the code: p <-… >>> More
