[BioC] tkrplot in R2.0 on Mac OS X

[James Wettenhall]

Hi Rahul,

I have found tkrplot to be a little tricky to build from source 
on MacOS X.  The reasons for using tkrplot in limmaGUI and 
affylmGUI were actually only relevant to the Windows operating 
system when using the MDI (Multiple Document Interface) for R, 
(avoiding R graphics device and Tk windows "fighting" over which 
window was on top / focussed).

So in the latest affylmGUI, (post-BioC release), you can choose 
whether to use tkrplot or the regular R graphics device (Quartz 
for Mac?) from the Plot menu, and on on Mac, the regular R 
graphics device should be the default now.

The latest affylmGUI is at
http://bioinf.wehi.edu.au/affylmGUI/

Perhaps tkrplot will be phased out of limmaGUI and affylmGUI 
eventually - especially as the plots cannot be resized by 
dragging a corner.

Regards,
James
