I would like to be able to run an R script from the command line using RScript.exe. The problem is, my script generates some plots which are being automatically closed as soon as the script reaches its end. Is there a way to force the plot windows to remain open until the user explicitly closes them? Example: Rscript --vanilla -e "plot(1:100)" The above line will create a plot that exists for a split second and then is gone - this seems like completely retarded behavior for a programming language that is so dependent upon plots. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Plots-automatically-closing-when-using-RScript-tp23820355p23820355.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[R] Plots automatically closing when using RScript
Try this:
Rscript -e "png('abc.png');plot(1:10);dev.off()" &&
abc.png
