I'm developing a Java module which exec's R by means of the java.lang.Runtime class. R is started from Java with code similar to p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/usr/bin/R --no-save"); Java then controls R by sending and receiving messages over R's STDIN and STDOUT. This works well except when plots are displayed to the screen. The windows are non interactive. They don't redraw themselves if they resided, icon-ized , or obscured by other windows. Can anyone please suggest how to make R plot displays generated under Java's exec method behave like they do when R is executed from the command line? --Tommy -- Tommy E.
