R help - Oct 2007 - SavePlot in the Batch mode

Hi R,

 

Does 'savePlot' will not work in the batch mode?  I get the below error:

 
> x=c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7)
> hist(x)
> savePlot("D:\\Test\\histo",type="jpeg")
Error in savePlot("D:\\Test\\histo", type = "jpeg") : 

            can only copy from 'windows' devices

Execution halted

 

The same works in the interactive mode. What would be the problem?

 

BR, Shubha

Yes.  As the error message says you can only copy from the Windows
device with savePlot.  However, you can directly create pdf (see ?pdf)
or PostScript (see ?postscript) graphics output in batch mode.
