Here is the script I ran to get PDF output which is attached:

x
# capture the output as a string vector
xo <- capture.output(x)
pdf('/temp/output.pdf')
plot.new()  # new page
# now add text to plot
text(0
    , 0.5
    , paste(xo, collapse = '\n')
    , family = 'mono'
    , cex = 0.6
    , adj = c(0,0)
    )
dev.off()

Hello Jim,

I tried the following as you mentioned, but I still do not have the error while opening the pdf file.

pdf(file = result2, paper = "a4r")
                mdl.summary.out            <-capture.output(mdl.summary)
                plot.new()
                text(0,0,paste(mdl.summary.out,collapse='\n'),family='mono')
                dev.off()

I believe this time we try to use pdf to catch the graph via text, are we?

Thanks,

Rebecca

Here is one way of doing it:

> x
               est.coef      std.err    t.stat
intercept  0.0011625517 0.0002671437  4.351784
aa        -0.0813727439 0.0163727943 -4.969997
dummy1    -0.0002534873 0.0001204000 -2.105376
dummy2    -0.0007784864 0.0001437537 -5.415417
bb        -0.0002856727 0.0001090387 -2.619920
cc         0.0003563825 0.0001114803  3.196820

Hello,

I have a data frame

and would like to store it to a pdf file, I use

                pdf(file = "a.pdf", paper = "a4r")
                mdl.summary
                dev.off()

to store this mdl.summary into a pdf file a.pdf. However, I can see from the terminal that:


> pdf(file = result2, paper = "a4r")

> mdl.summary

                               est.coef      std.err    t.stat

intercept                  0.0011625517 0.0002671437  4.351784

aa                     -0.0813727439 0.0163727943 -4.969997

dummy1             -0.0002534873 0.0001204000 -2.105376

dummy2              -0.0007784864 0.0001437537 -5.415417

bb                   -0.0002856727 0.0001090387 -2.619920

cc                     0.0003563825 0.0001114803  3.196820

> dev.off()

pdf

  2

And when I open the a.pdf, the error message says "There was an error opening this document. The file is already open or in use by another application." How could I save this data frame into a pdf file?

If I have another data frame, such as


> st = data.frame(est.aic, est.aic)

> st

    est.aic est.aic.1

1 -1654.986 -1654.986

How could I save it to a .csv file?

Thanks very much!

Cheers,

Rebecca
