Hi Henning,

At the command line, R objects (including lattice plots which are
objects) get auto-printed, i.e. the print method is invoked 
automatically on these objects.

This is not the case when you write to a pdf file.

Best,
Tobias

>> Dear R and Tinn-R users,

>> PLOT
>> dev.off()
>>
>> The file "plot1.pdf" is created, but it is empty.
