Hi, when windows and mac users collaborate, one always has to use search&replace on the quartz() function. Is there a better way? Some command which tells whether one is working in a Windows or OSX setting? Thanks Nino

Hi,
thanks for your quick reply.
I just added the following in front of everything else in the script:
if(.Platform$OS.type=="windows") {
quartz<-function() windows()
}
Works as expected.
Thanks,
Nino
