Is there a good and concise way of making simultaneous plots that are identical, but directed to different devices? I'm writing an R-script that produces a pdf file. I would really like to check visually whether the pdf file shows what I expect. So I would like the same commands to produce a plot on screen. At the moment I'm using cut-and-paste, which is not ideal because any corrections have to be done twice---very error-prone.
How about dev.copy2pdf ?
I usually keep my pdf viewer (kpdf) open which automatically refrehes once I re-create the plot. On windows this is a problem, as far as i know.
Depends on the viewer: GSView (and others based on ghostscript) do allow the file to be updated whilst open: Acrobat Reader does not.
