Save files

[td296]

Hi Eric,

We were wondering how to save files in TIFF format for high resolution plots. We have ahd a look through the code and can't find where this can be done. We have tried to load the R file from the output data file but this produced plots with erroneous map margins and legend size.

Cheers

Hi Tobby,

I could modify the code to allow output as TIFF, but doing it properly may take me a bit. However, have you tried opening the PDF in Illustrator/Inkscape/GIMP and exporting to PNG/TIFF? We chose to output as PDF by default because it can easily be edited in Illustator/Inkscape so you can edit, the axes, etc. to your liking.

Illustrator can output as TIFF; Inkscape cannot but you can output as PNG and then as TIFF by opening in GIMP. I think this way you should be able to have as much resolution as you want since PDF is vectorial.

Regarding your error, what did you try exactly? I managed to output as TIFF by doing:

load("yourfilename.RData) # load RData output from your hysplit run
opt <- list(run_id = 1) # generate mock opt object
tiff(filename="yourfilename.tiff", res =300, width = 5000, height = 5000, units = "px) # adjust graphical parameters to your taste
lapply(X=trajs, FUN = plot_trajlines, PRJ = PRJ) # this line from the program plots the trajectories
dev.off()

But this will be a bit cumbersome if you have to run many figures.

Let me know if any of this options works for you,

Eric
