Sorry, the message seems to have got botched. Here it is again: Pele does open a PDF device (previously it was a postscript device). It looks like what Pele is trying to do is "plot" the printed results of the summary of a model + the AIC, together with the acf() and pacf() plots.
As Dieter indicated, Gavin Snow's textplot() function [in gplots package] might help. This really is a job for Sweave, which Pele should have look at. Pele: you could also look at Prof. Harrell's text.anova.Design function, which you may be able to adapt to your needs. Even "simpler" would be to write a function that uses text() [see: ?text] to plot the parts of your model-summary and the AIC to an empty graph. Regards, Mark. Hello R users, Below is the code and output of what I am trying to do. My goal is to insert/print all items in the chart function into a pdf document. Only the acf and pacf charts gets printed. Again, thanks in advance for any help I can get! #################################### options (scipen=999, digits=7) library(lmtest) library(dyn) tdata <- ts(read.table("C:/test/data.csv" ,sep = ",",header=TRUE)) print(tdata) res <- function(dep, indep, fn, env = parent.frame()) { depnm <- deparse(substitute(dep)) indepnm <- deparse(substitute(indep)) fo <- sprintf("%s ~ lag(%s, -1) + %s", depnm, depnm, indepnm) fo <- as.formula(fo, env = env) mod <- do.call(dyn$lm, list(fo)) chart <- function(mod) { pdf(file="results.pdf") par(mfrow=c(2,1)) acf(residuals(mod)) pacf(residuals(mod)) summ<- summary(mod) aic <- AIC(mod) dev.off() } output <- return(list(Charts=chart(mod))) } results <- res(tdata[ ,"Y"], tdata[ ,"X_VARY"]) ; results ############output############### > options (scipen=999, digits=7) > > library(lmtest) > library(dyn) > > tdata <- ts(read.table("C:/test/data.csv" ,sep = ",",header=TRUE)) > print(tdata) Time Series: Start = 1 End = 20 Frequency = 1 Unit Y X_VARY K D_WAY 1 1 3 2 4 50 2 2 5 3 9 50 3 3 6 11 22 50 4 4 8 4 7 2 5 5 9 11 11 2 6 6 12 13 13 2 7 7 23 25 12 2 8 8 22 30 31 3 9 9 23 3 3 3 10 10 19 21 21 32 11 11 3 2 4 34 12 12 5 3 9 4 13 13 6 11 22 4 14 14 8 4 7 4 15 15 9 11 11 4 16 16 12 13 13 4 17 17 23 25 12 4 18 18 22 30 31 4 19 19 23 3 3 4 20 20 19 21 21 5 > > res <- function(dep, indep, fn, env = parent.frame()) { + depnm <- deparse(substitute(dep)) + indepnm <- deparse(substitute(indep)) + fo <- sprintf("%s ~ lag(%s, -1) + %s", depnm, depnm, indepnm) + fo <- as.formula(fo, env = env) + mod <- do.call(dyn$lm, list(fo)) + + chart <- function(mod) { + pdf(file="results.pdf") + par(mfrow=c(2,1)) + acf(residuals(mod)) + pacf(residuals(mod)) + summ<- summary(mod) + aic<- AIC(mod) + dev.off() } + + output <- return(list(Charts=chart(mod))) } > > results <- res(tdata[ ,"Y"], tdata[ ,"X_VARY"]) ; results $Charts null device http://www.nabble.com/file/p21888211/results.pdf results.pdf Pele wrote: > > Hello R users, > > I have been trying to output all my results (text, plots, etc) into the > same postscript file as > > one document, but have been unable to...Can anyone help me improve my code > below so that I can > > accomplish this?
