Re: [R] Saving R Graph to a file
Hi guys, I really appreciated all your responds, I made mistake on my example below hwere I wrote device.off() where it should be dev.off(). I read all the help documnet for odf png and postscript before I posted my question but it didn't help. Can some one please code an example?

Re: [R] Saving R Graph to a file
Hello,
#Example 1: The following code to save svyboxplots works for me
pdf("boxplots_dthage.pdf", width = 1020) # 4 boxplots in 2 columns and 2 rows
par(mfrow=c(2,2), oma=c(0,0,0,0))
# svyboxplot commands not shown
dev.off()
#Example 2: The following code to save a ggplot graph works for me:
# ggolot () not shown
print (p)
ggsave(file='Xfacet_abodill_age3.pdf', width=12, height=8)
Thanks,
Pradip Muhuri

Some hints:
For pdf(), height and width are in inches, not pixels. dev.off() is
necessary after drawing the image for pdf(). The name for the file
argument (file="c:/figure.xxx") is file not filename
hist(CO2[,5]) is more interesting
And yes,
?pdf
?postscript
?ping

That said, your example won't work properly because it is not properly coded. FI'm sure it gets tiresome being told to read the manual, but that is the way you learn R. For poscript output you need to read "?postscript()" and follow the information there. There are important differences in detail between png(), pdf(), and postscript() that are critical. CAREFULLY read the help for postscript(), and also check into dev.off() use too. Your example doesn't restore things properly. If you do the above, you'll discover what is wrong with your example.

It should have thrown an error here since there's no device.off() function.

Hi I am not sure why I can't get my plot saved to a file as .ps, I searched online and I found that I have to use something is called postscript,png or pdf function which I did but still not working. Actually what I have is a matrix with almost 300-400 columns.
