Hi Yes, you should get multipage pdf, each page populated by single call to plot function.
However I am not sur if your proposal with function will work. I usually do simply pdf("sample.pdf", 7, 5) for (i in 1:n) { hist(L[[i]]) } dev.off() Cheers Petr From: akshay kulkarni <akshay...@hotmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2019 8:01 AM To: PIKAL Petr <petr.pi...@precheza.cz>; R help Mailing list <r-help@r-project.org> Subject: Re: large number of scrollable histograms.... dear pikal, Thanks for the suggestion.... I have checked ?pdf. The syntax is: > pdf("sample.pdf", 7, 5) > hist(vector1) > dev.off() So, I surmise that instead of one hist function in the second line, if I include multiple histograms through a loop, it would write ALL histograms to sample.pdf (something like this): > pdf("sample.pdf", 7, 5) > histlist > dev.off() > histlist <- function(){ for( i in 1:length(L)){histlist[[i]] <- hist(L[[i]]}; > return(histlist)} Am I right? Would this pdf document(sample.pdf) be scrollable? very many thanks for your time.... yours sincerely, AKSHAY M KULKARNI ________________________________ From: PIKAL Petr <petr.pi...@precheza.cz<mailto:petr.pi...@precheza.cz>> Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2019 7:19 PM To: akshay kulkarni; R help Mailing list Subject: RE: large number of scrollable histograms....
