Plotting and saving PDFs in a loop

Question

I have a semi-melted data frame that looks like this:

head(final_melt)

   Group       Source variable   value
 Control Whole Kidney     MZF1 0.23879
 Contro         


        

Answer 1

As an alternative to joran's answer for ggplot2 graphics only:

1. Create and print your ggplot graphic.
2. ggsave(filename="Whole Kidney.pdf")

The ggsave will copy the last printed graphic. Or it can save a particular plot.

1. Create your ggplot graphic and assign it to p
2. ggsave(filename="Whole Kidney.pdf", p)

Answer 2

1. Open a graphics device (pdf(), png() etc.)
2. Create and print your ggplot or lattice graphic.
3. Call dev.off().
4. .....?
5. Profit.

In that order.
