I'm running R through xemacs. I'm wanting to save my output graphs. I've found several things that talk about saving the output, but I'm using a pre-written taxometrics program that generates the code for me. Is there a way I can get the graphical output saved? thanks, -Sammy

You should be able to do
pdf("outputgraphs.pdf")
..run your program..
dev.off()
This will send all graphics output to the pdf file rather than to the
screen.

Thanks. It doesn't seem to work, though. Output is still being sent to the display instead of to the file. The file is being created, but there's nothing in it. I'm having the same problem when using RAqua (since it seems to use the x11 display for graphical output). Would you mind looking at the program to see if there's something else you can see? I'll attach it in an email if you would like. Thanks for your help -Sammy

One possible explanation is that the program contains a call to x11(). Does a new x11 display window open up each time you run the program? I'd be willing to look at the program for you (hopefully it isn't too long). -Don
