Before any of you run at the closing vote let me say that I understand that this question may be subjective, and the expected answer may begin by "it depends". Nevertheless, it is an actually relevant problem I run into, as I am creating more and more graphs, and I don't necessarily know the exact way I am going to use them, or don't have the time to test for the final use case immediately.
So I am leveraging the experience of SO R users to get good reasons to choose one over the other, between jpg(), bmp(), png(), tiff(), pdf() and possibly with which options. I don't have the experience in R and the knowledge in the different formats to choose wisely.
Potential use cases:
- quick look after or during run time of algorithms
- presentations (.ppt mainly)
- reports (word or latex)
- publication (internet)
- storage (without too much loss and to transform it later for a specific use)
- anything relevant I forgot
Thanks! I'm happy to make the question clearer.
