I recently installed R 2.6 on Linux/SuSE When I was running the previous version on Windows I was able to save my plots from a script. There was a command "savePlot" that is no more retrieved in the last version. In this scenario, how can I tell R to save the currently displayed plot to a file ? The "save" command is generic and do not know how to tell R that the plot is to be saved using this command. In addition, is it possible with R to have more than one plot, that is more than one graphic window opened at the same time ? Thank you so much.

Try something like: pdf(file="filename.pdf") plot(...) dev.off(); works with other formats as well. Type ?Devices Hope that helps, John On Wednesday 21 November 2007 21:45:38 Maura E Monville wrote:> I recently installed R 2.6 on Linux/SuSE > When I was running the previous version on Windows I was able to save my > plots from a script. > There was a command "savePlot" that is no more retrieved in the last > version. > In this scenario, how can I tell R to save the currently displayed plot to > a file ? > The "save" command is generic and do not know how to tell R that the plot > is to be saved using this command. > > In addition, is it possible with R to have more than one plot, that is more > than one graphic window opened at the same time ? > > Thank you so much. > > Regards,

I recently installed R 2.6 on Linux/SuSE When I was running the previous version on Windows I was able to save my plots from a script. There was a command "savePlot" that is no more retrieved in the last version. -- Only in Windows devices, AFAIK. In this scenario, how can I tell R to save the currently displayed plot to a file ? see (e.g) ?pdf, ?dev.copy and other ?dev.xxx Help. The "save" command is generic and do not know how to tell R that the plot is to be saved using this command. -- This saves the workspace, not graphs In addition, is it possible with R to have more than one plot, that is more than one graphic window opened at the same time ? -- Yes. ?dev.cur, etc. Thank you so much.
