Saving a plot in R-LINUX
That does not save the current plot though, and dev.copy() and dev.print() can do so. They _are_ in the manual Dirk pointed you at. Windows versions of R have other options, e.g. savePlot() and menu items to save the plot, and my guess is that is what 'Augusto.Sanabria at ga.gov.au' has seen. I don't see what this has to do with this list rather than R-help, though.

Those `options' are from your X11 Window Manager, not from R.

pdf("/tmp/foo.pdf")
plot(x, y)
dev.off()
Don't forget the dev.off(). And do read the manual, section 12.6, also on the web at eg http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-intro.html#Graphics Dirk -- Hell, there are no rules here - we're trying to accomplish something. -- Thomas A. Edison
