I have a script that creates a qplot that is then saved as a .png file which works fine on Windows. But I also work on Linux servers via Putty and would like to be able to create and save my plots to my working directory. Is there a way I can ggsave my qplot without utilizing X11 in Linux? I don't need to view the plot in Linux, I just want the plot created and immediately saved to my working directory. I get this error: Error in grDevices::png(..., width = width, height = height, res = dpi, : X11 is not available -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/ggsave-in-Linux-tp1567860p1567860.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I'm guessing you are trying to display the graphic, which of course won't work without a windowing system. Try like this: library(ggplot2) data(diamonds) temp <- qplot(cut, color, data=diamonds) ggsave(temp, file = "test.pdf")> > -- > View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/ggsave-in-Linux-tp1567860p1567860.html > Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. >-- Ista Zahn Graduate student University of Rochester Department of Clinical and Social Psychology http://yourpsyche.org
