Sorry I should have been more clearer. Let me repharse. At the moment I have a loop that plots a histogram of the variable, along with rug and super-imposed normal curve over it. It does that for a lot of variables in the dataset and then compiles them into a pdf. Whereby each page on the pdf corresponds to the histogram of 1 variable.
However, it takes ages to load and takes up a lot of memory. So I was wondering if there is a way that before it gets compiled into a pdf, if I can convert my graphs into png or bitmaps images and then compile them into pdf? This is my code so far: pdf(file="C:/#temp/Histo and2.pdf") ##- Saves all plots in the same pdf file for(k in 1:ncol(nums2)){ hist(nums2[,k],freq=F,col="lightblue1", #density=20 ##- Density -> Gives shaded bars main=names(nums2)[k],col.main="blue",cex.main=0.8,font=2, xlab=names(nums2)[k]) ##- Font=2 => bold #rug(jitter(nums2[,k]),side=1,col="antiquewhite3") lines(density(nums2[,k],na.rm=T),col="navy",lwd=2) ##- Density Function of data curve(dnorm(x,mean=mean(nums2[,k],na.rm=T),sd=sd(nums2[,k],na.rm=T)), col="brown",lwd=3,add=T) # readline(prompt="Press [enter] to continue") } dev.off() Hope this is much clearer?

If you are not getting what you want, then what is it that you do want? In particular, how do you intend to review or use many plots generated at once if not in a PDF file? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....
