Dear list, as described beforehand, i wanted to merge three single plots into one JPEG-file. Since I use PNG now, code goes as follows: png(...) layout(...) par(...) plot(...) par(...) plot(...) par(...) plot(...) which works out pretty well, but now a new problem occurred: R has stopped to create new plots at all. Opening the PNG, the prior defined arrangement has been implemented but obviously no plots were compiled. Plus, by commenting out the PNG-function (and even layout()), R completely refuses to open up a plotting window (code runs all the way without error messages, though). Even entering the plotting command directly in the R shell leads to the same result. Any ideas? Best Alex
You need dev.off() I think. -Ista On Sun, Dec 6, 2009 at 10:53 AM, Walther, Alexander <awalthermail at googlemail.com> wrote:> Dear list, > > as described beforehand, i wanted to merge three single plots into one > JPEG-file.

@ Ista: no, R still struggles with the output. Thanks anyway. :) Is there a way to merge multiple of these PNGs into a single PDF document afterwards? I would like to refrain from bridging this gap with additional software like f.i. Adobe Acrobat.
