1) does this alllw to export to Excel?

2) how to make manual adjustments?

My answers will probably disappoint

1) No (unless you count 'render to image and insert that into your excel document') 2) This is not possible - manual adjustments are not reproducible and we live by that ethos

		> 2) This is not possible - manual adjustments are not reproducible and we live by that ethos Just want to give you a high-five on that one. I've dealt with so many hand-adjusted plots in the past where they work until either the dataset changes just a little bit or the plot library itself gets upgraded... in both cases, the plots completely fall apart when you're not expecting it.

		What makes ggplot great is that it allows manual adjustments AND has a nice declerative grammar. Hard for me to see the value of a plotting library without being able to adjust plots.
