Hello ! 

Yes, I realized just after sending you the email that I didn't cc the list, so 
I sent it again just after that. 

And thank you very much for your help, it works perfectly ! 

And the package I used was ncf.

Hello,

Please cc the list, the odds of getting more and better answers are greater.
And you should tell us from what package do the function plot.correlog 
comes. library(what)?

As for your question, assuming you want to save your plots as PNG files, 
you could do something like the following.


fun <- function(p){
fname <- paste0("correlog", p)
png(filename = fname)
plot.correlog(...)
dev.off()
}
ddeg.correlog.list <- lapply(9:20, fun)

See the help page for ?png. It lists several other graphics file formats 
you can use.

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
