I have numerous scripts that generate plots and then save
them as EMF files. They run beautifully on windows.

I recently decided that I wanted to offload some of the
processing to a linux server. It however, is unable to save
a file as EMF.

??? Error using ==> saveas at 156
Unsupported format or extension: emf

Is there a workaround or something I can install? I am
using R2007a. I would like to avoid changing everything to jpg.

Thanks.

EMF output is only available on Windows. There may be
utilities for linux that convert postscript to EMF, although
I'm not aware of any offhand. The benefit of such a utility,
if it exists, is the possibility of keeping the output as a
vector file, rather than raster/bitmap.

Thanks for the response. I will get by using another format.
