Saving R Graph to a file
Some hints: For pdf(), height and width are in inches, not pixels. dev.off() is necessary after drawing the image for pdf(). The name for the file argument (file="c:/figure.xxx") is file not filename hist(CO2[,5]) is more interesting And yes, ?pdf ?postscript ?ping

Hi I am not sure why I can't get my plot saved to a file as .ps, I searched online and I found that I have to use something is called postscript,png or pdf function which I did but still not working. Actually what I have is a matrix with almost 300-400 columns. I need to create a histogram and boxplot for some columns as .ps file (with reasonable size if i can adjust that would be nice also) so I can import them in my latex code to display a good chart on my report. And I found out R display a certain limit of device. Can you please help me code this? This an example I create data(CO2) png(filename="C:/R/figure.png", height=295, width=300, bg="white") hist(CO2[,4]) device.off() pdf(filename="C:/R/figure.pdf", height=295, width=300, bg="white") hist(CO2[,4]) postscript(filename="C:/R/figure.pdf", height=295, width=300, bg="white") hist(CO2[,4]) Thanks -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Saving-R-Graph-to-a-file-tp4648369.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
