[R] ggplot2 not displaying graph in RH7 RStudio Server 3.2.3

[phiroc at free.fr]

Here's a minimal example that displays a bar chart in RStudio 3.2.4 for Windows, but not in RStudio Server 3.2.3 on RH Linux 7:

------------------------------------------------------------------- R Code -------------------------------------------------------------------

library(ggplot2)
a <- c("ab", "bc", "cd")
b <- c("de", "fg", "hi")
ds <- data.frame(a,b)
g1 <- ggplot(data = ds, aes(x=a))
g1 + geom_bar(stat="count", fill=rainbow(3), colour="black") + xlab("Action & Description") + ylab("Count")  +  ggtitle("test") + coord_flip()

Context is everything. Please follow the Posting Guide and provide a minimal reproducible example. Also, if your scripts are literally the same on the two platforms, you should provide the output of the sessionInfo() function for each.

Hello, 

I have written an R script which displays a bar chart using the ggplot2 library (please refer 
to code excerpt at the bottom of this e-mail). 

Although the bar chart is displayed OK in the Windows version of RStudio (v. 3.2.4), 
nothing appears on Linux RH 7 in Rstudio Server 3.2.3. 

I have tried replacing the data frame in the RH-version of the script by 




a <- c("ab", "bc", "cd") 
b <- c(1, 2, 3) 
ds <- data.frame(a,b) 
g1 <- ggplot(data = ds, aes(x = a)) 





... but to avail: ggplot doesn't plot anything. No error message are displayed. 

Any help with this issue would be much appreciated. 

Many thanks.

ggtitle(paste0(
