You have several options:

1. Write a function that creates your plot, and call that function
repeatedly manually.
2. Write a wrapper function that takes the name of a function, and an
output filename, and calls that function repeatedly after creating
different graphics devices.
3. Create as PDF, and use something else (like ImageMagick) to convert
to different formats.

I tend to do option 3 as it is the most flexible.

Best wishes,

Mark
