This is almost certainly a device-dependent issue, which is the reason the Posting Guide requests that you include such details.

On a Mac using the GUI interface, one can scroll backwards through the graphics windows with <cmd>-<left arrow>. With the plot of interest as the focus one can then issue additonal plotting function calls such as lines() or points() and then save the plots as pdf if the default Qartz device has been used.

I suspect there are equivalent facilities for Windows and Linux installations and encourage you to try reading the help pages:

?Devices #should bring up useful (installation-specific) information

Dear R-Help,

I am using the 'mfp' package.  It produces three plots (as I am using
the Cox model) simultaneously which can be viewed together using the
following code:

fit <- mfp(Surv(rem.Remtime,rem.Rcens)~fp(age) +strata(rpa),family=cox,data=nearma,select=0.05,verbose=TRUE)
par(mfrow=c(2,2))
plot(fit)

They can be viewed separately but the return key must be pressed after
each graph appears (Click or hit ENTER for next page).

I'd like to isolate the second plot produced (the estimated functional
form of the influence of age on the log relative hazard) so that I can
use the 'points' function to add the linear predictors for the
untransformed and the log-transformed models.  In the usual situation
one would produce a plot and then type:

coxfitu <- coxph(Surv(rem.Remtime,rem.Rcens)~age +strata(rpa),data=nearma)
points(coxfitu$linear.predictor,col=2)
coxfitl <- coxph(Surv(rem.Remtime,rem.Rcens)~log(age) +strata(rpa),data=nearma)
points(coxfitl$linear.predictor,col=3)

Can anyone tell me how to isolate just the second plot produced?

Thank you for your help,

Laura
