 Hi,
 
 On windows I'd like to run a batchfile that leaves me a plot. As a
 test I have the scriptfile test.r which only contains:
 
x - 1:10;
y - sample( 10 )
plot( x, y )
 
 Now I tried the following (but nothing worked):
 
 a) R --vanilla  test.r in the cmd window, = that doesn't give me a plot
 b) the same, but I added bitmap(file=outplot.png) in the
 scriptfile = Here I get an error that gswin32c.exe was not found.
 (Maybe I need to install ghostscript???)
 c) some attempts with Rgui.exe = I didn't arrive to pass a command argument.
 
 It would be nice, to get some hints, how this could be done. I did
 search the newsgroup archive, but unfortunately didn't find something.

I had to add a win.graph... command, now it works:

x - 1:10;
y - sample( 10 )
win.graph(width = 7, height = 7, pointsize = 12)
plot( x, y )
savePlot( filename = test, type = png )

Great, thanks a lot for the tipp!

Just open a device before you plot:

pdf( plotfile.pdf )
plot( x, y )
dev.off()

also have a look at:
