multiple plots in custom R programming

 Hello,

 I want to keep open multiple plots simultaneously in different windows from R programming for custom operation. I tried x11() & dev.new() functions but they are not working. And program works absolutely fine in R environment 3.3.2

 

Thank you in advance.

Hi @tejasnd,

As I tested,  it return two plot pictures on different windows.

When you create a R visual, it only displays the lastest plot picture. One visual standarts a Graphics window. If you want to create multiple plots, you'd better create mutiple R visuals in Power BI desktop.
