\description{
|
|
|
24 |
These functions provide control over multiple graphics devices.
|
|
|
25 |
|
|
|
26 |
Only one device is the \emph{active} device. This is the device in
|
|
|
27 |
which all graphics operations occur.
|
|
|
28 |
|
|
|
29 |
Devices are associated with a name (e.g., \code{"X11"} or
|
|
|
30 |
\code{"postscript"}) and a number; the \code{"null device"} is always
|
|
|
31 |
device 1.
|
|
|
32 |
|
|
|
33 |
\code{dev.off} shuts down the specified (by default the current) device.
|
|
|
34 |
\code{graphics.off()} shuts down all open graphics devices.
|
|
|
35 |
|
|
|
36 |
\code{dev.set} makes the specified device the active device.
|
|
|
37 |
}
|
|
|
38 |
\value{
|
|
|
39 |
\code{dev.cur} returns the number and name of the active device,
|
|
|
40 |
or 1, the null device, if none is active.
|
|
|
41 |
|
|
|
42 |
\code{dev.list} returns the numbers of all open devices, except device
|
|
|
43 |
1, the null device. This is a numeric vector with a names attribute
|
|
|
44 |
giving the names, or \code{NULL} is there is no open device.
|
|
|
45 |
|
|
|
46 |
\code{dev.next} and \code{dev.prev} return the number and name of the
|
|
|
47 |
next / previous device in the list of devices. The list is regarded as
|
|
|
48 |
a circular list, and \code{"null device"} will be included only if there
|
|
|
49 |
are no open devices.
|
|
|
50 |
|
|
|
51 |
\code{dev.off} returns the name and number of the new active device
|
|
|
52 |
(after the specified device has been shut down).
|
|
|
53 |
|
|
|
54 |
\code{dev.set} returns the name and number of the new active device.
