similar to: closing R graphics windows?

Dear all, I am puzzled by the following behavior of the new grid.cap() function, which appears to run out of time when capturing the output of a graphic. It works fine if I introduce a Sys.sleep(1) before executing more code, library(grid) quartz() grid.circle(gp=gpar(fill="black")) gg <- grid.cap() dev.new() grid.raster(gg) ## completely blank gg[gg!="white"] ## indeed

I'm using Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop 10.2 (SP2) on an HP 2133 (x86) mini-notebook. (There apparently are a LOT of bugs in 10.1!) I downloaded R-base from the openSuse 10.2 repository and was (finally) able to install it (after installing blas and gcc-fortran). I can start an R session and do computations. When I try to do any graphics using x11, I get the message: unable to load shared

R-devel has new versions of the X11(), png() and jpeg() devices on Unix-alikes. The intention is that these are used identically to the previous versions (which remain available) but will produce higher-quality output with more features. Pros: Antialiasing of text and lines (can be turned off) but no blurring of fills. Buffering of the X11 display and fast repainting from a backing image.

I've successfully gotten R 2.2.1 to compile on AIX 5.2. However, when I run "make install", I receive the following message: /appl/perform/workspace/R-2.2.1 [root@diablo][/appl/perform/workspace/R-2.2.1] make install /appl/perform/workspace/R-2.2.1/m4 Target "install" is up to date. /appl/perform/workspace/R-2.2.1/tools Target "install" is up to date.

Hi Dario, Here are another couple of other fun functions you can utilize besides the ones Dirk recommended :) extSoftVersion() grSoftVersion() Below is an example: > grSoftVersion() cairo libpng jpeg "1.10.2" "1.6.16" "9.1" libtiff "LIBTIFF, Version 4.0.3"

I wouldn't be at all surprised if I turned out to be doing something boneheaded, but I've *tried* to follow all the relevant rules ... Based on a clean SVN checkout of R-devel r61617, building in a separate directory, I end up with Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : object '.print.via.format' not found Has anyone encountered this or does anyone have any further

G'day all, I am working on a new FreeBSD 8.0 Server (remotely located), and have installed (now several times) R 2.11.0 but I cannot get any graphic outputs (everything else seems to be happening fine...) During install I have noticed and checked that png, jpeg, cairo etc libraries are available - here is the build output : R is now configured for amd64-portbld-freebsd8.0 Source

I'm writing a book using Sweave which includes Unicode characters which R's postscript and pdf graphics devices don't handle properly. The cairo graphics device does handle these characters properly. Thus I'd like to be able to instruct Sweave to use cairo (either sometimes or always) to produce graphics when it processes R code. Is this possible? Many thanks, Roger Levy --

Hi all, I'm writing an interactive plotting function for viewing fMRI datasets. Currently, I get keypresses using grDevices::getGraphicsEvent(). Unfortunately getGraphicsEvent() only supports the X11(type="Xlib") graphics device on Unix systems. The Xlib device doesn't support buffering (i.e. dev.hold() and dev.flush()), so redrawing the plots causes lots of flickering. Is

Hi, am I missing something or could you just use Alt-F4? This is pretty standard for closing focussed windows on Windows and Linux at least. It just closed a Window opened with View() on Debian Linux FWIW. Cheers, Johannes Am Freitag, 17.

Hi Taking a look at those patches is now on my todo list, so I may be in touch with both of you at some point to request some testing.

In the following plot, the y label is missing if it is too long. x11(type="Xlib") plot(1:5, 1:5, ylab="Do, a deer, a female deer") # missing label plot(1:5, 1:5, ylab="Do") # label is present All is well for x11(type="cairo") This is true both under R devel 2017-09-01 on xubuntu (my desktop), and 3.4.1 on Centos 6.9 (department

Dear R-experts---is there a relatively low-pain way to get unicode characters into a plot to a pdf device? pdf(file="cardsymbols.pdf") plot( 0, xlim=c(0,5), ylim=c(0,5), type="n") text(1,1, "&spades;") text(2,2, "&hearts;") text(3,3, "&diams;") text(4,4, "&clubs;") dev.off() (these are the characters that I need the most

Hi the list, I just installed the R-1.7.0-1mdk.i516.rpm package on a mdk 9.1. All looks fine until I try to launch some graphics functions as png() or even demo( graphics). I receive the following example message: > png() Error in png() : R_X11 module cannot be loaded In addition: Warning message: unable to load shared library "/usr/lib/R/modules/R_X11.so":

Is it possible to configure and build an R without any graphics support. I..e no grDevices or graphics packages? I tried "--with-x=no --with-cairo=no --with-grDevices=no --with-graphics=no" but it is still building grDevices. My problem is that I am using experimenting with a compiler that cannot compile the Objective-C file, qdCocoa.m, and I don't need graphics for this

I am attempting to get publication quality graphs using R on Ubuntu. I encounter lots of problems in using cex to control font size: for instance cex=1.5 results in very blocky characters. I then tried to use res=1200 while creating a PNG file, hoping that this would solve the problem, but it did not. When doing the above, a second problem appeared: the font size relative to the graphics decreased
