Dealing with Data Plots and Other Electronic Graphics
Once a plot has been prepared--in JASP or jamovi, for example--it will eventually need to be converted to an appropriate image format (for inclusion in a web page, presentation, journal submission, etc).
Advantages of Outputting the Image as a PDF
The PDF will be a vector file, which maintains the image quality 100%. (The vector file is subsequently convertible to other common formats such as JPG, PNG, or TIF.)
You may want to use any of a variety of graphic editors to further edit the image. With appropriate software, PDF images can be edited directly, or can be converted into an easily editable format.
An Easy Way to Edit a Figure that's been Saved as a PDF
You can use LibreOffice Draw to open the PDF. The file will automatically convert into LibreOffice's ODG format. From there, you can click any of the figure's various parts and modify its attributes (not-unlike Microsoft PowerPoint). You can also move entire figures around and arrange them into a composite plot. (Note Microsoft Office cannot, itself, open a PDF image as an editable, vector graphic.)
You can save the LibreOffice Draw file in the default, ODG format, and/or as a PDF.
Note: While LibreOffice Draw can export in a variety of image formats, it is not very good (as of October of 2026) at letting users choose the resolution for exporting raster files (e.g., TIF, PNG, JPG, BMP). A workaround is to export as a PDF, then use GIMP to open PDF: As the PDF opens, GIMP will ask you to choose a resolution. Once it's open, export the file as a TIF, for example . ['File' > 'Export as' > 'Select File Type (by extension)' > 'Export'.]
LibreOffice Draw has a complex graphical interface. For example, clicking an object or object component once instead of twice may not fully activate its capacity to be edited, which may create an impression that the interface is buggier than it actually is.
Simple Cropping of a PDF
Open and crop it using PDFGear. Once the image is open in PDFGear, select 'Page' then 'Crop Pages.'
