[R] multiple plots without for loops

[Petr PIKAL]

Hi

I use an option with PDF, which can have multi page output. You can

pdf("some_graphs.pdf")

# do all your plotting let say in cycle something like

for( i in 1:n) plot(something[,1], something[,i+1], ...)

dev.off()

You will get one multipage pdf document in working directory which you can 
get through and delete if you do not want it.

Regards
Petr
