Hello all, I am having the weirdest issue that I don't know how to get
around.
I am using R, and I am sourcing another script within one master script.
Within the sourced script, I have code that looks like the following:
pdf("Figs/bar_gni.pdf")
m1table$Country1 <- reorder(m1table$Country, m1table$GNIpc2005)
ggplot(m1table, aes(y=GNIpc2005, fill=Level)) +
geom_bar(aes(x=Country1), data=m1table, stat="identity") +
coord_flip() +
ggtitle("GNI Per Capita, 2005") +
xlab("Country") +
ylab("GNI per capita, Atlas method (current US$)")
dev.off()
The important part, if I'm correct, is that I'm opening a pdf graphics
device, making a plot, and then closing the device.
When I run the source script itself (by opening the script), this all works
just fine. However, when I source it, none of my graphs are outputted. It
seems to create the files, but it just creates blank files.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Richard

Cross-posting to r-help is not appropriate. (This is especially important when the answer was to be found in the R-FAQ.) Please wait for an answer on SO if you choose to post there first.

Believe it or not, this is FAQ 7.16 (consider also FAQ 7.22).
