Is there a way to control the dimension of plot exported from R (or Python)?

Question

Happy Holidays,

I'm running a script partly using R and I would like to retrieve some plot generated by the R package.

A plot might be generated in R with a width of 900 by a height of 600 but when it gets imported into JMP it's square with 'standard' picture box dimension.

Using '<<set size(x,y)' does not appear to work

plot = R Get Graphics( "png" );
New Window( "XYZ", Picture Box( plot ) );

It is square. If I save the plot to the directory before viewing it, the dimension are correct.

Any suggestions on the means to control the plot dimensions would be greatly appreciated.

Best,

Sebastien

Hi Ian,

Thanks a lot for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it does not help as the trick does not result in pictures with better resolution if there is  need for a larger format. The best bet right now would to save it during the execution of the R script at the required dimensions and import in JMP.

Best,

Sebastien

I fear I'm at risk of telling you what you know already. But does this work for you?

Names Default To Here( 1 );

New Window( "Example", pb = Picture Box( Open( "$SAMPLE_IMAGES/tile.jpg", jpg ) ));

w = pb << getWidth;
h = pb << getHeight;

Wait(2);
pb << setWidth(w*0.5);
pb << setHeight(h*0.5);

Wait(2);
pb << setWidth(w*2);
pb << setHeight(h*2);
