[R] Saving or copying graphics from Quartz returns empty file
Hi, I need some help figuring out how to save or copy graphs I've created in the Quartz screen. I'm using a Mac, Mountain Lion OS, and have version 2.15.2. When I save a graphic, the process either crashes R, or if it saves the file, when I open it, it is a blank file or I get an error message that says "The file Rplot.pdf could not be opened." When I try to copy the graphic instead and paste into any other program (Word, Excel, etc), a blank image frame is all I get. I assume there is a package I've not loaded or some fix I need to make. Any ideas?
