If you run Eric Lecoutre's code to produce the graphic, available at http://www.r-project.org/misc/acpclust.R, unchanged except for the addition of these lines: library(Cairo) Cairo(600,400,file="Rlogo_swiss.png",type="png",bg="white") then you get this: http://members.optusnet.com.au/tchur/Rlogo_swiss.png which I think looks even better. Kudos to Simon Urbanek and Jeffrey Horner for the excellent Cairo device driver for R (and which works even without an X server, which makes it great for web server applications).
