Dear list, This is not a question but a rather short note how to save a plot if it was created in batch mode. It took me like 2 hours to figure it out, I hope it can save time for those who - like me - are not really fast in picking up diosyncrasies of R. (as far as I remember I had no problems whatsoever batch plotting in gnuplot, matplotlib, matlab... )
The problem I had was that while I could plot and save my data using RGui, the same script did not work in batch mode. plot(x,y, bla-bla... ) ... dev.set (2) dev.print (device=png, file=outFile, bla-bla) But this does not work in BATCH mode. The error msg is: "... can only print from a screen device" Sure, the plotting window does not pop up in batch mode. What I had to do was to to put a command: windows() before starting the plot. Now I can save my plots in batch mode Well, I am more than sure, that there are more elegant solutions without invoking the window... ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
