one could use the par command to plot several plots on 1 graphics device. i would like to do the following: say plot(y~x) on one screen and then plot(q~w) on another screen so that one can see both of them together but not on the same graphics device. Sean O'Riordain wrote: Alan, I'm not

Eventually one way: With X11() you can open additional graphic devices. x - rnorm(100) y - x + runif(100) plot(x) X11() plot(x,y) Best, Matthias a simple question how does one produce plots on two different graphics devices? / allan __

Is this on windows? If so, how about the following: windows() plot(y~x) windows() plot(q~x) For me, this creates two different plot _windows_ and you could tile them to see each side-by-side. But I'm not sure how that would be preferable to having the plots in the same window.

I'd suggest starting with the documentation. See ?Devices and then look at some of the other functions referenced in the See Also section of ?Devices. Basically, you produce plots on two different graphics devices by this sequence: 1) open a graphics device 2) produce a plot 3)

This is for Windows only, and documented in ?windows README.rw2011 (or whatever) It's more usual to switch recording on when you need it, either in the windows() call or from a menu. ?options only tells you about the standard options, not those used on specific platforms or by packages (and
