Hi,
On windows I'd like to run a batchfile that leaves me a plot. As a
test I have the scriptfile "test.r" which only contains:
x <- 1:10;
y <- sample( 10 )
plot( x, y )
Now I tried the following (but nothing worked):
a) "R --vanilla < test.r" in the cmd window, => that doesn't
give me a plot
b) the same, but I added "bitmap(file="outplot.png")" in the
scriptfile => Here I get an error that gswin32c.exe was not found.
(Maybe I need to install ghostscript???)
c) some attempts with Rgui.exe => I didn't arrive to pass a command
argument.
It would be nice, to get some hints, how this could be done. I did
search the newsgroup archive, but unfortunately didn't find something.
Thanks and best regards,
Hans-Peter

Just open a device before you plot: pdf( "plotfile.pdf" ) plot( x, y ) dev.off() also have a look at: ?Devices Best Bendix ---------------------- Bendix Carstensen Senior Statistician Steno Diabetes Center Niels Steensens Vej 2 DK-2820 Gentofte Denmark tel: +45 44 43 87 38 mob: +45 30 75 87 38 fax: +45 44 43 07 06 bxc at steno.dk www.biostat.ku.dk/~bxc ----------------------> -----Original Message----- > From: r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch > [mailto:r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch] On Behalf Of Gabor > Grothendieck > Sent: Friday, June 03, 2005 4:33 PM > To: Hans-Peter > Cc: r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch > Subject: Re: [R] plots from batchfile on windows > > > On 6/3/05, Hans-Peter <gchappi at gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > On windows I'd like to run a batchfile that leaves me a plot.
