Hi is there any command or setting that allows you to do the plot command but it dose not print the plot on screen? So when you are saveing an plot in a function you dont want it to display the plot just save it. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Dont-print-plot-on-screen-tp3078167p3078167.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Just open a device in the output format you want. For example, pdf(file="example.pdf") plot(rnorm(100)) dev.off() Duncan Murdoch
The create a file with the graphics: ?pdf ?jpg ?postscript The question is if you are generating it, what do you want to do with it. If you don't say otherwise, it will go to the default graphics which is probably a window on your console. You will have to direct it where you want it.

For (at least) boxplot() and hist(), you can set plot=FALSE But since we don't know what type of plot you want, difficult to be sure.
