Suppresses plot display in the IDE by opening a PDF graphics device

This function opens a PDF graphics device using grDevices::pdf to suppress the plot display in the IDE. The purpose of this function is to avoid opening graphic devices directly in the IDE.

Usage

dev_suppress(x)

Arguments

x: lazy binding which generates the plot(s)

Value

No return value, called for side effects.

Details

The function uses base::on.exit to ensure that the PDF graphics device is closed (using grDevices::dev.off) when the function exits, regardless of whether it exits normally or due to an error. This is necessary to clean up the graphics device properly and avoid any potential issues.

Examples

dev_suppress(plot(1:10))
