Dear all,
I am trying to create a web interface using Perl-CGI to call R plots and
to display them.
The following codes works perfectly fine when I copy and paste into the
console directly or if I save it into script.file and then R --no-save <
script.file producing the graphs.
jpeg("graph.jpeg", width=400, height=400)
plot(rnorm(100))
dev.off()
Now, I put the line system("R --no-save < script.file > log_file") from
inside my cgi and then process it from client side, I get the following
error message:
Error in X11(paste("jpeg::", quality, ":", filename, sep = ""), width,
:
unable to start device JPEG
In addition: Warning message:
unable to open connection to X11 display`'
Execution halted
Why do I get this error and how can I fix it? Many thanks in advance.
Regards, Adai.
