How to eliminate the generation of "Rplots.pdf"?

[Peng Yu]

Hi,

The following code always generate a file called 'Rplots.pdf'. Such a
file can be just removed as shown in the code on the following link.
But I'm wondering if there a way not to generate such a redundant file
in the first place?

library(ggplot2)
tmp=data.frame(V1=rnorm(10)
, V2=rnorm(10)
)
p=qplot(V1,V2,data=tmp)
ggsave(p, file='outfile.png')

Your code doesn't generate Rplots.pdf on my system. Are you running
your code through Sweave?

HI, 

I got the same problem when I use Rscript xxx.R where in my xxxx.R script I used ggsave("output.pdf"). It will genearate two files, one is output.pdf, and the other is Rplots.pdf. Not a big deal, but very annoying!

Thanks
