%cat stock.R
#! /usr/local/bin/Rscript
args <- commandArgs(TRUE)
args
x <- read.csv("000301.csv")
matplot(x[,1],x[,-1],type="l")
#q(save="no")
%Rscript stock.R 000301.csv
[1] "000301.csv"
matplot doesnot draw anything(no drawing window).
Howeve, in R, source works great!>source("stock.R")
Sincerely!

Hi, Rscript is meant for non-interactive use, so the default device is not the same as when you run R. If you really want a window, open it yourself by calling the appropriate function (X11, windows, ... ) or reset the "device" option to whichever device you want to use, but it will disappear at the end of the script, so not very interesting. You probably should open a png device or something and then write the grap there. See ?png, ?pdf, ?X11, ?options, ?Rscript Romain On 12/14/2009 10:59 AM, z_axis wrote:> %cat stock.R > #! /usr/local/bin/Rscript > > args<- commandArgs(TRUE) > args > > x<- read.csv("000301.csv") > matplot(x[,1],x[,-1],type="l") > #q(save="no") > > %Rscript stock.R 000301.csv > [1] "000301.csv" > matplot doesnot draw anything(no drawing window). > > Howeve, in R, source works great! >> source("stock.R") > > Sincerely! >-- Romain Francois Professional R Enthusiast +33(0) 6 28 91 30 30 http://romainfrancois.blog.free.fr |- http://tr.im/HlX9 : new package : bibtex |- http://tr.im/Gq7i : ohloh `- http://tr.im/FtUu : new package : highlight

You have ignored the posting guide so we do not know your OS. On a Unix-alike, you could explicitly open X11() (quartz() on a Mac), but it would be closed again at the end of your script unless you arrange to pause the script.> Howeve, in R, source works great! >> source("stock.R") > > Sincerely!Real names and the courtesy of a signature block are preferred here. -- Brian D.
