Dear All I am considering moving from SPSS to R as my stats environment of choice. I have read around and everything looks favourable. There is just one issue on which I have been unable to find information.
Many clients ask me to send them output (tables, graphs, etc) as an spss output file (ie .spo). I haven't asked them why, I've just said yes. I know R can produce graphics as nice as SPSS, and presumably they can be output in some portable format for pasting into a word-processor document. I need to find out why the client wants spo. In the meantime let's assume they have a good reason. Can R write .spo files? Failing that does any one know of any spo writers that I could wire up to R (eg with some python gluecode)? Failing that any suggestions for overcoming the output hurdle would be welcome, as R looks very attractive (platform independent, easy to use and to automate, fast).
