A couple of things that I did not see mentioned by the others:
Generally statistics plots work better in .png files than in .jpg
files due to the type of compression each uses (detailed image plots
and some surface plots may be the exception), though that may be out
of your control (some journals insist on jpeg even when something else
is better).
You can give additional arguments to the jpeg function, one option
would be to have it create the graphics region 3 times as high as it
is wide, then use par(mfrow=c(3,1)) to put 3 plots in 1 figure.
Another option is to specify a name like "samplo%03d.jpg", then the
first plot will be saved to "samplo001.jpg", the second will be saved
as "samplo002.jpg" and so forth. In either case the jpeg call (and
par call) should be before the for loop and the dev.off should be
after the loop.
