R help - Dec 2008 - simultaneous plots

Is there a good and concise way of making simultaneous plots that are
identical, but directed to different devices?

I'm writing an R-script that produces a pdf file. I would really like to
check visually whether the pdf file shows what I expect. So I would like the
same commands to produce a plot on screen. At the moment I'm using
cut-and-paste, which is not ideal because any corrections have to be done
twice---very error-prone.

Thanks
David

I usually keep my pdf viewer (kpdf) open which automatically refrehes
once I re-create the plot. On windows this is a problem, as far
as i know. You may get what you are after by storing the plot
with recordPlot() and then use replayPlot() to send it to
additional devices.
