[R] Recalling and printing multiple graphs. Is there something in the HISTORY menu that will help?
I have written an R function that produces multiple graphs. I use
par(ask=TRUE) to allow for the inspection of each graph before the next
graph is drawn. I am looking for a way to recall all graphs drawn in an
R session, and a method that can be used to print all the graphs at one
time. I know that I could simply print each graph after I inspect the
graph, but this gets tiresome if one's function produces tens of graphs.
I suspect that if I knew more about the history menu (which currently
has an entry RECORDING) I could get the graphs to be replayed and
printed, but alas I have not been able to find instructions for using
the HISTORY menu. Please take pity on my when you let me know that some
easy search or command could get me the information I needed. I have
looked, but clearly in the wrong places.

Re: [R] Recalling and printing multiple graphs. Is there something in the HISTORY menu that will help?
Here is a function that I have used to write the files on my Windows
machine. I put this function call after each graph that I produce and it
will write out a new file and tell me what the file name is. I can then go
back and copy the files into a document or a PowerPoint presentation.
f.plot - local({
# PlotNumber is 'local' to the function
PlotNumber - 1 # initialize the plot number
function(){ # return the function
myplot - sprintf(ws.%03d.wmf, PlotNumber)
dev.copy(win.metafile, file=myplot, width=10, height=7)
PlotNumber - PlotNumber + 1 # increment for next plot
cat(copied to:, myplot, \n)
invisible(dev.off()) # close the file
}
})
At the end of each plotting sequence, just call f.plot() to save the
image.

Re: [R] Recalling and printing multiple graphs. Is there something in the HISTORY menu that will help?
options(graphics.record=TRUE) can be used to switch the recording on (MS Windows, not sure about other platforms). See ?options To set this option as default, use .Rprofile It is however quite annoying to examine and save all the graphs manually... You might find functions like postscript(), png(), jpeg() and others useful. Petr John Sorkin napsal(a): I have written an R function that produces multiple graphs.

John Sorkin M.D., Ph.D. I assume you are on Windows (please give OS and R version in future help requests). The code I use before starting such functions is graphics.off() windows(record=TRUE) .SavedPlots - NULL which closes existing graphics devices, opens a windows device with recording on, and deletes any existing graphics history. You can go through the history with PageUp and PageDown keys. Within your function, you can call savePlot (q.v.) to save each plot to a file just after it is generated.
