R help - Sep 2008 - multiple page pdf file using pdf()

List,

I am currently producing a series of charts using multiple calls to pdf()
but, rather than having ''n'' single plot files, would like them
all to go
into one ''n''-page pdf file. Would someone be so kind as to
explain how, if
at all, I might go about doing this from within R? I have only ever
previously used devices besides x11 by analogy with printing things to x11.

I am running R-2.7.2 on Red Hat Linux.



TIA,

Kyle

Did you as much as look at help(pdf)????

Specifically, there is a "onefile" argument. It is even TRUE by
default!
So just don't close and reopen the device between plots.
