The following worked over here: > > x<-tkgetSaveFile() > #.. go to right directory and type in filename > tclvalue(x) Thank you, Charilaos, for your posting. I wrote the following: -------------------------------------------------- require(tcltk) #Tcl/Tk - Texteingabe Datei <- tkgetSaveFile(initialdir="temp/",defaultextension=".pdf", initialfile="Haupt_Chl_ Phaeo.pdf") fileName <- tclvalue(Datei) pdf(fileName) # graphical device driver with filename ...(code for the graphics)... --------------------------------------------------- As expected, I get an empty pdf-file. Specifying the pdf-device-driver results in automatically saving the generated pdf. The tkGetSave-function isn't helpful in this case. I must have the possibility to input a filename and then give this filename as an argument to the device-driver. Richard
