What is the difference between the two with respect to pdf plotting?Same as on the command line: If you type quartz() (or whatever is the default device for you), you get an empty window if no plotting follows. If you type plot(0:9), the quartz() device is opened for you and plotted into. You could try options(device=pdf) source("script.R") q(save="no")
