Hello all, I've switched over my OS to ubuntu from Suse 10.3. In suse I was able to load up the 'rgl' library in R and then move my plots around after I had plotted them. Which I assumed was part of the openGL. However, since switching to ubuntu I am unable to 'move' my plot around, they are just static plots. :( I have done some things differently such as install R from the .tar.gz instead of rpm. The rgl package doens't complain when I install it. Is there something I'm overlooking? Same laptop same graphics card? cheers, Paul

This message http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/130549.html describes a workaround; there are probably other messages with more detail if you search the Ubuntu forums. Duncan Murdoch
