Hi,
Is it possible to :
[1] set a default location to plot graphs in png format with specific
dimensions & resolution. I want to plot to a directory which is a shared on
the network (samba share), so as to view the plots from a different machine.
[2] call dev.off() 'automagically' after a call to the plot function, by
(somehow) setting it as a default behavior in .Rprofile.site? This would be
nice to have, so as to update an image viewer running on a local machine
which keeps displaying the image(s) in the shared plot folder on the remote
machine (which runs R)
I was thinking on the lines of adding the following to .Rprofile.site :
__________
prior2plot <- function() {plotfile <- paste('/srv/samba/share/Rplot-',
as.character(format(Sys.time(), "%Y%m%d-%H%M%S")), '.png', sep='');
png(filename=plotfile, width=1280, height=800)}
setHook("before.plot.new", prior2plot())
__________
However, the above does not seem to work beyond a first plot.
Best wishes,
Vishal
