today <- Sys.Date() nextmo<- paste0( month.abb[ as.numeric(format(today, format="%m"))+1] , format(today,"%Y") ) [1] "Jun2016" > > My other question is that, I read a data and do some analysis and I > want to send all the results of the analysis to a pdf file > > Example > x5 <- runif(15, 5.0, 7.5) > x5 > > > I tried this one > > pdf(file=" test.pdf") > x5 > dev.off() pdf() opens a graphics device, so you need a function that establishes a coordinate system: x5 <- runif(15, 5.0, 7.5) pdf(file=" test.pdf"); plot(1,1,type="n") text(1, 1, paste(round(x5, 2), collapse="\n") ) dev.off() I doubt that this is what you really want, and suspect you really need to be studying the capabilities supported by the knitr package. If I'm wrong about that and you want a system that supports drawing and text on a blank page, then first study: > library(grid) > help(pac=grid) If you choose that route then the text "R Graphics" by Paul Murrell will be indispensable. -- David Winsemius Alameda, CA, USA ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
