function in order to plot the same graph to postscript an d pdf
This works for me:
plot.both <- function(expr, filename) {
pdf(file=paste(filename, ".pdf", sep=""))
eval(expr)
dev.off()
postscript(file=paste(filename, ".eps", sep=""))
eval(expr)
dev.off()
}
plot.both(expression(plot(1:10)), "testboth")

The myplot is something like this: plot(x) text(foo)
Aha, I was surprised that this worked for one of the two plots. You could pass myplot as an expression, e.g. myplot = expression(plot(x)), and then eval() that in the body of
plot.both().
I've followed your advice and changed my function to
something like this:
plot.both <- function{myplot, filename}{
MYPLOT <- expression(myplot)
pdf(file=paste(filename, ".pdf", sep=""))
eval(myplot)
dev.off()
postscript(file=paste(filename, ".eps", sep=""))
eval(myplot)
dev.off()
}
However the result is the same: the first one is actually
printed but the
second plot is empty.
