Hi group, Just in case anyone else posts, against this issue, I need to clarify that my OP was about plotting not saving without plotting. The issue was to produce a plot each time a loop is transversed, without leaving behind plots from previous iterations of the loop (in practice this could produce thousands of plots).
The 'solution' I gave above (by saving pdf files) is simply the most effective solution (that I have been able to come up with, that works on my system). Any other solutions are welcome. Thanks for your interest in this issue.
