Description

Wrapper function for converting graphics with ImageMagick

Usage

convert.g(path = NULL, fileroot= "*", from = "pdf",
    to = "png", create.path = TRUE, options = NULL)

Arguments

path

String: The path to the from graphic files.

fileroot

String: Graphic root name; default is "*" for all files with the from extension.

from

File type extension specifying the from format.

to

File type extension specifying the to format.

create.path

Details

Conversion is done through a call to ImageMagick mogrify function. This means that ImageMagick should be installed on your system. It must also be listed in the path.

for some values such as "pdf" and "eps" of the from or to arguments ImageMagick works in conjunction with Gostscript. The latter should, therefore, also be accessible.
