Hello, I am puzzled by the behavior of hist() when generating multiple plots per page on the pdf device. In the following example two pdf files are generated. The first results in 4 plots on one pdf page as expected. However, the second, which swaps one of the plot() calls for hist(), results in a 4 page pdf with one plot per page.
How might I get the histogram with 3 other scatter plots onto a single pdf page? platform powerpc-apple-darwin8.10.1 version.string R version 2.6.1 (2007-11-26) Thanks!
