How do I save a plot to a tiff file under Linux/Unix platform? I often do this under Windows with tiff(…). Also is there a way to compress the tiff file as in compression=”lzw” under Windows?
Thanks for your help

If capabilities(“tiff”) is TRUE then you can use the tiff function or dev.copy(tiff) to make a tiff from an existing plot.
If capabilities(“tiff”) is FALSE then you need to reinstall R. Most binary R distributions should have it, if you’ve compiled it yourself you need to make sure you have the libtiff development stuff installed first.
tiff(file=”foo.tiff”,compression=”lzw”) should do lzw compression, but again its dependent on having the correct libraries and headers for compiling compression into your tiff library.
