[R] configuring graphics device in Linux

[Erik Iverson]

You should begin by telling us what you did to produce the result.  That 
way we can tell if it's something in your R commands or not.  If you 
give us step by step instructions to reproduce the problem (with 
simulated data, or a dataset distributed with R), it becomes much easier 
to debug.

In short, PLEASE do read the posting guide 
http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, 
minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
