R help - May 2004 - barplot

I??ve tried version 1.9.0 barplot  with these (and others) example from  the
help page:

tN <- table(Ni <- rpois(100, lambda=5))
r <- barplot(tN, col='gray') 
I get :


 <<...OLE_Obj...>> 
Same example with version 1.8.1 gives the following result:


 <<...OLE_Obj...>> 

What is wrong with v.1.9.0?

Thanks,

Carlos Guevel

This has been reported a while back:

http://r-bugs.biostat.ku.dk/cgi-bin/R/Graphics?id=6777;expression=barplot;user=guest

which also suggests a workaround.

tN <- table(Ni <- rpois(100, lambda=5))
r <- barplot(as.vector(tN), col='gray')

Alternatively, barplot2 in the gregmisc package should also work.

library(gregmisc)
tN <- table(Ni <- rpois(100, lambda=5))
r <- barplot2(tN, col='gray')
