[R] Recalling and printing multiple graphs. Is there somethingin the HISTORY menu that will help?

[Bert Gunter]

See FAQ for Windows 5.2 and the referenced README.


?win.metafile and ?replayPlot might allow you to "replay" the saved plot
history (by default in .SavedPlots) into a file in emf or wmf format, I
think, but I haven't actually tried this -- don't know if it will work for
multiple graphs.

Let us know if this approach works if you don't get a definitive answer
elsewhere.

Cheers,
Bert

Subject: [R] Recalling and printing multiple graphs. Is there somethingin
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.
