how to control to save plots to which dev
Thanks, Prof Ripley. I was using dev.next(), dev.prev(),, but I am wondering, instead of switching the current dev, is there a way to more directly print plot A into file connection A, plot B into file connection B...? Because if coding with more then two dev simultaniously, one could easily get confused which dev is the current one.

Hi, I have a for loop to make 2 types of plots and I'd like to save one type of plots to a pdf file and the other to another pdf file. How can I control which plot will be saved to which pdf? Thanks
Why not give them file names that identify the type?
I think he wants
pdf("a.pdf")
pdf("b.pdf")
for(i in 1:n) {
plot something on a.pdf
plot something on b.pdf
}
This is done using dev.prev/dev.next/dev.set: see their help for details.
