Hello, I would like to learn how to create a pdf and a postscript file from an R graphic. For example, I tried : plot(1) # example pdf("H:/Perso/essai.pdf") postscript("H:/Perso/essai.ps") But the pdf document created is empty. How do these functions work ? Thank you very much. -- David Hajage Interne de santé publique Institut Curie [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
You need to open the pdf/poscript first and then plot...see ?postscript # open the file "foo.ps" for graphics output postscript("foo.ps") # produce the desired graph(s) dev.off() # turn off the postscript device David Hajage wrote:> Hello, > > > > I would like to learn how to create a pdf and a postscript file from an R > graphic. > > For example, I tried : > > > > plot(1) # example > > pdf("H:/Perso/essai.pdf") > > postscript("H:/Perso/essai.ps") > > > > But the pdf document created is empty. > > > > How do these functions work ? > > > > Thank you very much. > > -- > David Hajage > Interne de sant?? publique > Institut Curie > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html

All your plotting will now go into device "B" until you close it by dev.off(), then all further plotting goes into device "A" - unless you start another device.
