[R-pkg-devel] Need help testing for Apple

Hello,

I am working on a package that does terminal graphics for hterm, but iterm2
should work too; if you have an apple computer with iterm2, could you
please help test it for me?

Installation:

    remotes::install_github("nfultz/osc1337")

Then run this demo:

    demo("barplot", "osc1337")

Try running it from a shell, and also inside screen and tmux, and let me
know if you see the barplot in each case. Version numbers might be helpful
too.

*** it does not work in rstudio ***

Thanks much!

- Neal Fultz

PS If anyone from rstudio is on the list, would you mind
explaining RShadowPngGraphicsHandler.cpp and friends, and how it knows when
to redraw when R returns to the REPL prompt?

I'd like to do something similar so that drawing plots in the terminal is
less manual.

Haven't found much docs on the graphics engine other than a really old
omegahat project, been trying to read engine.c but I'm slow.
