Storing graphics
Bert, The OP may be looking for recordPlot/replayPlot. We were not told the OS (x11 exists even on Windows). The standard screen devices on Windows (windows() ) and Mac OS X (quartz()) have plot histories that can be used to flick between plots. And 'flick' is the operative word here: it is quick and under mouse/PgUp/PgDn control. AFAIR Rstudio has copied the idea. With as many as 18 plots, I would be looking for more effective ways to browse them, and probably produce PNGs to view in an image browser or a multi-page PDF to browse in a viewer which showed thumbnails.

Please follow the posting guide and provide some example code. Bottom line, most functions that "draw" a graph return a graphic object that, like any other R object, can be given a name in the global environment, put into a list, etc. Alternatively, depending on what you mean -- it was not entirely clear to me -- merely store the code that produced the objects and they can be reproduced at will (with some possible caveats due to e.g. possible random number generation) from the data in a saved workspace -- ?save.image. As always, a careful reading of R's docs and Help files would probably tell you what you need to know. -- Bert On Wed, Dec 14, 2011 at 12:52 PM, JulieV<sharkette002 at hotmail.com> wrote:
Dear R members, I would like to store 18 graphics at the end of a loop (as we do for data frames and arrays). For each iteration, I use the function x11() and I want to keep my graphs in a single window to re-use them later. Do you know a function for storing graphics ? Many thanks Julie
