[R] plotting rasters - no plot, no error

[Monica Pisica]

Hi,

 

I have the current version of R installed on 2 different Windows computers. On one i can plot using the plot function a raster in geotif format, on the other it plots only the axis, an empty color bar and no raster what so ever without generating any errors or warnings. So i suspect something is not installed properly, but i don't know what. Do you have any clues? I would really appreciate any insights. I need some instructions i can pass on to an IT person since i don't have rights on the computer that does not plot the raster.

 

On both computers i can plot lines, points, polygons, as graphic objects or shapefiles.

 

Thanks so much, Monica

 

The first PC that plots the raster:

Sys.info()

                    nodename                      machine                        login 

            "NODENAME"                     "x86-64"                       "LOGIN"
