Hi, I may be wrong, but I have the impression that tikz (a LaTeX drawing package) can handle spot colors (that's what Google seemed to tell me [*]). If this is the case you could output R graphics using the tikzDevice package, post-process the output (readable, plain text file), and eventually have LaTeX produce the pdf image with spot colors.
Worth a try, perhaps. baptiste [*] http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Colors#In_TikZ On 13 April 2011 21:15, Matthieu Stigler <matthieu.stig...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi > > We are about to publish a book, which contains figures made with R plots.
