R help - Jan 2005 - postscript() and levelplot() in a for loop

Hi,

 

I like to produce a series of levelplot graphs in postscript file, so I put
the trunk of codes including postscript() and levelplot() in a for loop. The
codes work fine outside the loop, but only produce empty .ps file when being
put within the loop. Is it a problem associated with postscript() or
levelplot()? How to get around the problem? Many thanks!

It's hard to be sure without seeing any code, but it sounds like you 
should look at
FAQ 7.22 Why do lattice/trellis graphics not work?

Dear Thomas,

It is very interesting to read FAQ 7.22. I don't see any example of
lattice/trellis graphics linked with print() statement. How should I specify
print()? Here are the actual codes I used to create the .ps file:

x=y=myaa
grid=expand.grid(x=x,y=y)
postscript(paste(./Graphs/",file[k],".ps",sep=""))
grid$z=as.vector(mymatrix)
levelplot(z~x*y,grid,at=seq(0,1,by=0.01),scales=list(cex=2),
          colorkey=list(labels=list(cex=2,at=seq(0,1,by=0.2))),
          main="mytitle")
dev.off()

Thank you for any help.

Yan
