Re: [R] show and produce PDF file with pdf() and dev.off( ) in function
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) }) ) __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
Re: [R] show and produce PDF file with pdf() and dev.off( ) in function
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
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.

[R] show and produce PDF file with pdf() and dev.off( ) in function
Hi all, I know how to use pdf() and dev.off() to produce and save a graph. However, when I put them in a function say myplot(x=1:20){ pdf(xplot.pdf) plot(x) dev.off() } the function work. But is there a way show the graph in R as well as saving it to the workspace?

Re: [R] show and produce PDF file with pdf() and dev.off( ) in function
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) casperyc wrote Hi all, I know how to use pdf() and dev.off() to produce and save a graph.
