Bert,

The OP may be looking for recordPlot/replayPlot.

We were not told the OS (x11 exists even on Windows). The standard screen devices on Windows (windows() ) and Mac OS X (quartz()) have plot histories that can be used to flick between plots. And 'flick' is the operative word here: it is quick and under mouse/PgUp/PgDn control. AFAIR Rstudio has copied the idea.

With as many as 18 plots, I would be looking for more effective ways to browse them, and probably produce PNGs to view in an image browser or a multi-page PDF to browse in a viewer which showed thumbnails.

Bottom line, most functions that "draw" a graph return a graphic
object that, like any other R object, can be given a name in the
global environment, put into a list, etc.

Alternatively, depending on what you mean -- it was not entirely clear
to me -- merely store the code that produced the objects and they can
be reproduced at will (with some possible caveats due to e.g. possible
random number generation) from the data in a saved workspace --
?save.image.

As always, a careful reading of R's docs and Help files would probably
tell you what you need to know.

Dear R members,

I would like to store 18 graphics at the end of a loop (as we do for data
frames and arrays). For each iteration, I use the function x11() and I want
to keep my graphs in a single window to re-use them later. Do you know a
function for storing graphics ?

Many thanks

Julie
