Re: [R] show and produce PDF file with pdf() and dev.off( ) in function

2012-03-24 Thread mlell08
you could either define a plotting function which passes your arguments
to plot() two times, with different devices active.
this function plots the given arguments two times:
 pl- function(...){
   X11()   #or pdf()
   plot(...)
   # dev.off()  if pdf() is used
   X11()  # open second graphics device
   plot(...)
}

pl(1:10,pch=10)
 
or you make a function evaluate your plotting arguments two times if
you're using other plotting functions like lines(), points(), abline()
etc. In this case you have to escape your plotting code with
expression() so it is only executed when you explicitly demand it by
using eval()

Best regards!

plEval - function(e){
  X11()
  eval(e)
  X11()
  eval(e)
}

plEval(
 expression({
  plot(1:10,pch=5)
  abline(h=3,col=red)
 })
)

apart from the other answers, be aware that you have to 'print' the
graph with 

pl-plot(x)
print(pl)

in case you're using lattice or ggplot2 plots.

Re: [R] show and produce PDF file with pdf() and dev.off( ) in function

2012-03-24 Thread Greg Snow
As others have said, you pretty much need to do the plot 2 times, but
if it takes more that one command to create the plot you can use the
dev.copy function to copy what you have just plotted into another
graphics device rather than reissuing all the commands again.

Re: [R] show and produce PDF file with pdf() and dev.off( ) in function

2012-03-23 Thread chuck.01
1) thats not a function (i'm sure just a mistake)
2) Just add another plot line 

myplot - function(x){ 
  plot(x) 
  pdf(xplot.pdf) 
  plot(x) 
  dev.off() 
} 

myplot(1:20)
