Hi,

If you want to export a single bar chart, this works:
png( "ET" );
barchart( data[,"ET"] )
dev.off()
quartz_off_screen
               2

But if you want to export a few of them, this does not:
factorCols <- c("MR","ET");
sapply( factorCols,     function(x) {
+       png( x );
+       barchart( data[, x] );
+       dev.off();
+ } );
MR.quartz_off_screen ET.quartz_off_screen
                  2                    2

R gives no indication of an error, but the files do not appear in the
working directory as they should.  Why is that?

I'm led to suspect this is a bug,

It much more likely to be related to the FAQ item (memory suggested it was 7.21, but checking I see that I'm off by one) that discusses why lattice functions won't plot as inexperienced useRs expect them to.

because it works fine if you use hist()
instead of barchart():
factorCols <- c("YR","AG");
sapply( factorCols,     function(x) {
+       png( x );
+       hist( data[, x] );
+       dev.off();
+ } );
YR.quartz_off_screen AG.quartz_off_screen
                  2                    2

Thanks,
Jeff
