Saving R Graph to a file
Hello,
#Example 1: The following code to save svyboxplots works for me
pdf("boxplots_dthage.pdf", width = 1020) # 4 boxplots in 2 columns and 2 rows
par(mfrow=c(2,2), oma=c(0,0,0,0))
# svyboxplot commands not shown
dev.off()
#Example 2: The following code to save a ggplot graph works for me:
# ggolot () not shown
print (p)
ggsave(file='Xfacet_abodill_age3.pdf', width=12, height=8)
Thanks,
Pradip Muhuri

Some hints: For pdf(), height and width are in inches, not pixels. dev.off() is necessary after drawing the image for pdf(). The name for the file argument (file="c:/figure.xxx") is file not filename hist(CO2[,5]) is more interesting And yes, ?pdf ?postscript ?ping On 11/3/2012 11:16 PM, frespider wrote: > Hi > > I am not sure why I can't get my plot saved to a file as .ps, I searched > online and I found that I have to use something is called postscript,png or > pdf function which I did but still not working. > > Actually what I have is a matrix with almost 300-400 columns.
