How to save figures/plots from R Graphics window

[Davinder Kaur Dhalla]

Hey everyone, I am new to R. Once the graphs are generated, how do I save them into a file? I have attached the screenshot of the R Graphics window. It does not give me any option to save the plots.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

‌

You can direct the plot to a pdf, for example, by

pdf(file=”XXX.pdf”, height=4, width=4)
plot(XXX) # the line to make the plot
dev.off()

You can also generate a png, tiff, etc. in a similar manner. Check the doc for the corresponding command (e.g., ?pdf)

Alternatively, you can type the following command after seeing the plotting window, to save the figure as is:

dev.copy2pdf(file="XXX.pdf")
