8.7 Visual Outputs

R supports many different static and interactive graphics formats. The most general method to save a static plot is to open a graphic device, create a plot, and close it

png(filename = "lifeExp.png", width = 500, height = 350)
plot(world["lifeExp"])
dev.off()

Other available graphic devices include pdf(), bmp(), jpeg(), and tiff().
