Screen Devices |
A new graphics device is created with any one of x11,
windows, and quartz. Once a graphics
device is opened, all further graphics commands relate to that device,
until it is closed with the dev.off function. The
graphics.off function closes all devices.
> x11() > plot(rnorm(50)) > x11() > plot(rnorm(10)) > dev.off() X11 2 > dev.off() null device 1 |
On screen devices you can sometimes print the plots directly from the
right mouse button menu (depending on the operating system and the
GUI). Once you have a plot drawn on a screen device you can always
save the current plot to PDF with:
dev.print(pdf, file="rplot.pdf") |
