R help - Aug 2001 - using jpeg() in BATCH mode

Hi everyone,


I'm trying to run R in batch mode, and I'm having trouble printing my
plots to any file type other than postscript.  I know R BATCH doesn't
support X11()--is there any way to use R BATCH and write jpeg files?

Also: I am running a cgi script to do this--alternatively to batch, is
there some kinds of R-CGI interface that might be easier?

Thanks!
evan

Under Unix, to use jpeg() you need to start R with the X11 gui, and BATCH
does not.  bitmap() works though ...

BATCH is just a very simple wrapper: you can write your own.
