Hi, I have a for loop to make 2 types of plots and I'd like to save one type of plots to a pdf file and the other to another pdf file. How can I control which plot will be saved to which pdf? Thanks
Best, Zhenjiang

Why not give them file names that identify the type?

I think he wants
pdf("a.pdf")
pdf("b.pdf")
for(i in 1:n) {
plot something on a.pdf
plot something on b.pdf
}
This is done using dev.prev/dev.next/dev.set: see their help for
details.

Thanks, Prof Ripley. I was using dev.next(), dev.prev(),, but I am wondering, instead of switching the current dev, is there a way to more directly print plot A into file connection A, plot B into file connection B...? Because if coding with more then two dev simultaniously, one could easily get confused which dev is the current one.

dev.set() will do exactly that (and Prof. Ripley did point you to it). Duncan Murdoch

Yes, but I thought the parameter to dev.set() should only be the value returned by dev.next()/dev.prev(). So I read the help page again. It's a little embarrassing - I missed the sentence "Devices are associated with ... a number in the range 1 to 63". I should have read the help page more carefully. Thanks.
