make editable versions of Figures 2-4

teixeirak opened this issue · 18 comments

@NidhiVinod , @mcgregorian1 , @ValentineHerr , The journal requested editable versions of Figs. 2-4 (NEON height profiles, tealeaves figure, and tree-rings figure). We've been through this with a couple Nature papers, and Valentine knows what to do.

Valentine, could you please make an editable version of the tree-rings figure that you previously produced, and also copy the bit of R code here so that Nidhi and Ian know how to edit the figures they produced?

Looking into this now:

This is what needs to happen:

In the code, you need to remove your statements before you plot the figure so the figure appears in your plotting device and replace dev.off() by
dev.copy2pdf(file="Figurename.pdf", useDingbats=FALSE, family="serif", width = 7.2, height = 8)

I pushed an editable pdf of the tree ring figure.

Thanks so much!

@ValentineHerr, thank you so much for sharing the code! I'm confused, do I enter dev.copy2pdf(file="Figurename.pdf", useDingbats=FALSE, family="serif", width = 7.2, height = 8) before the plotting code? and then have the code underneath it?

no after, and make sure to update the file name but leave it as a pdf (and you may need to adjust the width and height

@mcgregorian1 just told me he's not feeling well and may not be able to get to this for awhile. Nidhi, perhaps you can make this tweak in his code and run it to produce the new figure?

Oh, hope Ian feels better! Seems like it should be do-able! I'll work on it today.

@teixeirak, shoot, I'm getting an error with the code, but not sure where the error is from

I fixed this error, but now I'm getting this:

@ValentineHerr, would you know why this would be?

Hi @NidhiVinod, are you running this line of code after the plot shows up in RStudio?

To make sure all is set, run dev.off() a few times in a row, until it throws you an error (this should close all the open plotting devices you may have), then run the code necessary to plot the figure, it should show up in R studio (so make sure there is no line of code that is, e.g. pdf() or png() or jpeg() before your plot code).
Once you can see your figure within RStudio, run the dev.copy2pdf(...).

If you still have an issue, try restarting R and try again.

If all fails, indicate the script and line of code you are working on and I'll try it myself.

@ValentineHerr, thank you so much! That worked!

@teixeirak, I was able to make Figure 2 and 3 editable through R, but the only thing is for Figure 3, I had made a few manual edits to make the table symbols subscripts for Gs and Tair etc... Do you know if the illustrator can do that?

I'd assume so. I'd sent it to them with a note.

You got the version of Fig. 4 that Valentine made, correct?

Great! Yes, is it the one in Figures folder Valentine?

You could try to do the same for that figure and edit it in PDF to make the subscripts. Get Outlook for iOShttps://aka.ms/o0ukef

I have to somehow cut or remove the words that are there in the Tleaf table and replace it with new text along with subscript. I can't figure out how to cut the words or write it over with the same matching background color :(

I'd recommend you just send what you have to the journal with an explanation of what needs to happen.

I'd assume so. I'd sent it to them with a note.
