Thanks Uwe . The parentheses were a typo. Please note that if I have only 9 subjects in my data then the following works (creates 493 KB data file)
#windows() {tiff(file=paste("Outfile",1,".tiff",sep=""),width=17.15 ,height=17.15,units="cm", res=1200, pointsize=10, compression = "lzw")} par(mar=c(5,5,4,1),mfrow=c(3,3)) for(i in 1:9){ dt1 = dat[dat$ID==i,] #pagei=as.integer(ceiling(i/9)) #This does not work #if(i==1) {tiff(file=paste("Outfile",pagei,".tiff",sep=""),width=17.15 ##,height=17.15,units="cm", res=1200, pointsize=10, compression = "lzw")} #par(mar=c(5,5,4,1),mfrow=c(3,3)) plot(dt1[, "IDV"],dt1[, "DV"], type="n",ylim=range(dt1[, "DV"]), xlim=range(dt1[, "IDV"])) lines(dt1[, "IDV"], dt1[, "DV"], type="b", col=1,lwd=3,pch=1) title(paste(i),col=8,cex=.8) #if(i==5) dev.off ## close file ## open new file #if(i==5) {tiff(file=paste("Outfile",pagei,".tiff",sep=""),width=17.15 ##,height=17.15,units="cm", res=1200, pointsize=10, compression = "lzw")} #if(i==9) dev.off () ## close file #if(i==9) {tiff(file=paste("Outfile",pagei,".tiff",sep=""),width=17.15 ##,height=17.15,units="cm", res=1200, pointsize=10, compression = "lzw")} } dev.off() My workaround around was to break the dataset into small data each with 9 subjects but if I change the mfrow then I have to change no. of subjects. Any smart suggestion to get around this? I tried to open and close devices based on iterations (i) but it does not work for me 2011/5/10 Uwe Ligges <lig...@statistik.tu-dortmund.de> > > > On 10.05.2011 03:36, John S wrote: > >> Dear Friends, >> >> I have been trying to save multiple 3x3 (mfrow=c(3,3) graphics inside a >> loop >> using tiff figure format (not using PDF or savePlot functions) with no >> success.
