PDF output problem

Tue, Aug 27, 2002 9:09 AM

Hello,
	I'm quite new to R, but I've already stepped into this problem:
I open a PDF device with:
pdf("Name-%d.pdf", width=10, height=10, onefile=FALSE)

And draw 4 histograms in a row, expecting the pdf device to
automatically number them from 1 to 4. What I get back is
only 2 images with names "Name-1.pdf" and "Name-2.pdf" that
contain the two last histograms I've plotted. Is it a known
problem? Or am I doing something wrong here?

I attach the script to this message in the hope somebody knows
the cause of this strange behaviour. Thanks in advance for
any help.

	Andre.
