[R] Error in png: unable to start png() device

[Ondrej Novak]

Hi,
I use R 2.14.0 on Win XP Pro SP3 and it behaves same - some times.
After I draw a lot of plots (more then 200, 2 concurrent rgui processes
running in parallel) to png then I get same error message.
Bmp(), jpg(), png() - same error. Restart of Rgui helps nothing.

Solutin - restart system and voila everything is ok.

I suspect that there might be something wrong with allocation/deallocation
of Windows resources in windows() function.

Hi

Beside of what Uwe recommends. You probably use some cycle. Why not to use multipage pdf? I remember I once created pdf with more than 1000 pages without any problem.
