X11 display problem
Hi,
I run R on a unix server and login from a Mac with ssh -X. When I want to run a graphics function like hist, I get the following x11 message:

X11 Problems
Hi all,
I'm having trouble getting x11 to work with R.  (This is on Debian 
testing.)  I installed r-base and r-base-dev, and then 
r-cran-cairodevice.  I also tried installing the Cairo package within R, 
which appears to work fine.
This what I'm seeing:

segfault when running heatmap()
Hi, I was wondering if someone in the mailing list has any insight into this
segfault error that I consistently find when running a script containing
heatmap() in R 2.8.1 and 2.8.0 on a Linux 64-bit machine.
Some points:
1. This occurs when running heatmap().
2. Interestingly, if I source() the script or copy and paste the script in
its entirety, this error occurs.  However, if I run the

Second X11 call with invalid display crashes R after first X11 call. (PR#12628)
I get this with R 2.7.2 (and 2.7.1, and 2.6.2, but NOT 2.4.0):

I don't know what I have done!! When I try to invoke a display function

Sweave and X11 on OSX 10.3
Hi -
I'm running R 1.8.1 (compiled from source) on Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther). I
find that, if Apple's X11 application is not running, Sweave gives an
error when it wants to create a pdf or eps figure. E.g., in the package's
own example-1.Snw file a boxplot is created at chunk 2:

Cairo package failure to load backend
Hi R friends,
I've been attempting to create plots with multiple alpha values using
Cairo to save them on a windows (32b XP) platform as it doesn't support
more than 3 alpha values. This worked well until I wanted a postscript
file (unsupported) and as a attempted work around I installed RGtk2. So
far so good, however now when I try to use a

X11 & dev2bitmap
Hi,
I am trying to put some graphics I have generated from R on a
webpage using dev2bitmap to create a bitmap, .BMP, file. 
When I look at my notes from 2 or 3 months ago I was successfully able to
put the ACTIVE device plot result into a bitmap file using a command such
as:
dev2bitmap("InsectSpray.BMP")
Job done!
Now when I try the same command, I get the following:

problem with lattice tiff or bitmap: character size and color
Hi all,
I am trying to make tiff files  of lattice plots at a resolution greater
than 300 dpi required by a journal (PLoS ONE). I have tried both the tiff
and bitmap functions. tiff keeps panel colors but reduces axes and tick
labels so they are nearly invisible. bitmap maintains correct label size
but only produces greyscale. Regular plots work fine with tiff; the
problem is only with lattice

Upgraded FC4 to FC5 - unable to start device X11 in R
Hi,
I upgraded my system from FC4 to FC5.  So now I have R version 2.5.0 
(2007-04-23).
But I ran into a problem with starting device X11 (message below).

can't find X11 font
Error in X11(display, width, height, pointsize, if (is.null(gamma)) 1 
else gamma,  :

Any idea?
Thanks,

Height not set properly in grDevices::jpeg() with type = "cairo"
Hi,
I have been having issues producing plots in JPEG format, using type =
"cairo" to get better anti-aliasing. When trying to set the physical
size with units = "cm" or units = "mm", the width is set correctly but
the height is not - it looks like the height is simply treated as
pixels regardless of the 'units' argument.
Example:
x = 1:10
y = 2 * x

No graphics capability on fresh install of R2.11.0 on FreeBSD 8.0
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
