Hi,
Or you could have asked the `filename` argument of `jpeg` to do the job
for you, ie :
filename = "something%04d" as documented in ?jpeg
jpeg(filename = "something%04.jpg", onefile = FALSE)
for(i in 1:10){
plot(i)
}
Cheers,
Romain
PS : For those who have ideas of "movies", I once started a website "R
Movies Gallery" as a little sister of "R Graph(ics) Gallery" ... you may
want to send me code to populate the website, or populate the wiki with
such examples. The idea is not to produce pretty science fiction type
movies with R, but use R abilities to create some useful animation that
could highlight some statistical concepts such as the LCT, ...
Plus, there's a place where grid could show its full power.
