[R] Lightweight store plots as images.

[Greg Snow]

I would use a pdf file, see ?pdf for examples.  This plots a bunch of plots to a single file.  You can also use tools like png (see ?png for examples) which will create 1 file per plot.  You can either specify a name each time, or set a name pattern and have it fill in automatically.  Either way the plots go straight to files without plotting on the screen.
