Dear R People:

I have the following function:


eplot

 plot(x)
 z- locator(2)
 dev.new()
 plot(window(x, start = min(z$x), end = max(z$x)))
}




I want to generate a new plot from a subset of the original, but I
want to keep the original plot up.  When I use this, it opens a new
window, but the first device goes blank.


Hi Erin,
Maybe you want something like zoomInPlot (plotrix).

Is there a way around this, please?

It is possible that the plot function starts to plot before the new device is 
fully in place, you could try sleeping for a second or 2 between the call to 
dev.new and the call to plot.
