Hello, I am trying to include an arrayQualityMetrics report in my appendix, but I am finding it very difficult to produce a pretty version as a pdf. I have tried simply to print to file in both Google Chrome and Iceweasel, and both of them are having trouble placing the figures correctly in the pdf. I have also tried to convert index.html to LaTeX using html2latex, which did not work either. Is it possible to produce a non-interactive pdf (Or something similar) which can be included in a thesis, written in LaTe, from arrayQualityMetrtics? I could not find any information about this in the documentation. Best, David

Dear David I get a reasonable PDF with default settings on Firefox 13 on a Mac OS X 10.6.8. I will send you this off-list. However, it is not perfect and some twiddling with printer formating may improve things. I do not perceive the production of reports in (or fully automated conversion into) PDF as a high priority, and since your use case is a 'one-off', why don't you take the LaTeX that you get from html2latex and manually edit it to your needs? After all, the report is not exactly a very complex document, just a couple of text blocks with figures interspersed. Hope this helps Wolfgang Jun/21/12 5:01 PM, David Westergaard scripsit:: > Hello, > > I am trying to include an arrayQualityMetrics report in my appendix, > but I am finding it very difficult to produce a pretty version as a > pdf.

Dear James that is one way to go about it. A more direct way for getting at this table is to keep the return value of the call to the function arrayQualityMetrics: myReport = arrayQualityMetrics( eset, ...) and access the table via myReport$arrayTable Please use arrayQualityMetrics >= 3.13.5 for this (unfortunately in previous versions due to an oversight of mine this object was not propagated all the way to the return value of arrayQualityMetrics). Version 3.13.5 is in svn and should also soon be on the website / in the package repository. It also fixes the 'intgroup' issue reported by Sonal and Tim. Best wishes Wolfgang James F.

Hi, I actually managed to produce a sufficient pdf to include just by upgrading my browser and fixing minor issues in inkscape.
