I have created separate plots in multiple graphics windows using the
windows() function in R.
How do I save all the plots in one PDF file?
I tried savePlot(C:/rplot.pdf, type = pdf). However, it only saved the
plot in the current graphics window.
Thank you!

1.Open pdf device
pdf()
2.Do your plotting as many as you want, you won't see the plots on the
screen because they go directly to the pdf() device.
3.Turn off the pdf()
dev.off()
Then you can review your plots in the pdf file. For more details see ?pdf

Thanks!
I got an error message when opening the pdf file: There was an error
opening this document. This file cannot be opened because it has no pages.
Here is what I did in plotting and saving the file:
pdf(file=C:/figure.pdf)
for (j in 1:numColumns)
{
windows(width=5, height=5)
plot(xj,y)
}
If you do plotting in a loop, then you need to print it to the device.
print(plot(xj,y))

No, that's only true for lattice and ggplot2 graphics. The problem
here is with this line,
windows(width=5, height=5)
which shouldn't be there.

one way:
x - rnorm(100)
y - x+rnorm(100)
par(mfrow=c(2,2)) # this sets up the graphics window to expect a 2x2 layout
plot(x,y)
boxplot(x,y,names=c(var1,var2))
hist(x)
hist(y)
mtext(fourplots on same page,side=3,outer=T,line=-1.5)
and you can adjust as needed to put more or less plots on the
Thanks for pointing that out, baptiste.
No need to use windows(). Width and height should be specified in pdf().
