Dear all, Thanks for all your responses. It looks like I was misinterpreting the capabilities of ggsave(). That can only handle the "basic" ggplot2 plots (which can be very elaborate). This behaviour is decribed at the end of chapter 8 in the ggplot2 book, but I missed that.
Opening and closing a device works well. Cheers, Thierry ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- ir.
