[BioC] Script to save plots in Pdf format ( DNAcopy)

[Thomas Hampton]

Here is an example of making 3 pdf  plots.

It consists of a loop, marked off with curly brackets, executed for  
the variable i,
which ranges from 1 to 3. The file names are 1.pdf, 2.pdf, and 3.pdf,  
generated using the  R paste function.

The data are two sets of 10 random numbers, generated by rnorm.

The pdf function creates the output, but in order for it to write out  
the final result, you need to call the dev.off function.

for(i in 1:3){
	pdf(file=paste(i,"pdf", sep='.'))
	plot(rnorm(10), rnorm(10))
	dev.off()
}


Best,

Tom
