It is the same on every platform and ...

... explained in section 12.6 of the fine 'R Introduction' manual available
in Debian in each one of the packages

	r-doc-info
	r-doc-html
	r-doc-pdf

for your choice of format to read.

Short form:

> pdf("/tmp/foo.pdf")

> dev.off()

Don't forget the dev.off(). And do read the manual, section 12.6, also on the
web at eg http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-intro.html#Graphics
