I am getting "too many open devices" after 60 graphs. The archived comments on this problem were too sketchy to be helpful. Any ideas? Thanks Harold
It would help if you showed us how you were plotting. are you calling 'dev.off()' after creating an output file? The "comments on this problem were to sketchy to be helpful".

With minimal information, my guess might not be correct, but I suspect
you're plotting to a Windows device and a new one is opened for each
of your plots. That would be some clutter on your screen.
You'd make life simpler if you used a pdf device that uses a new page
for each of your plots which can be hundreds of pages if you like.
Check out the help for pdf(), making sure you don't forget the
dev.off() part.
