[R-SIG-Mac] Plot from Emacs/Ess...

[Horacio Samaniego]

I have had the same experience when trying to plot. However, you can  
get the graph if you set options("quartz") or simply if you run quartz 
(). But you get a non-interactive quartz window. I am not sure how to  
set the default options to get the quartz device by default. I wonder  
how the R.app (GUI) does it? Can someone point us to some of the docs  
that may describe the procedure?

thanks,

H

Hello.

I'm using R 2.2.1 from Emacs and ESS.
It works fine, but when I try to plot something, nothing happens;
I see again the R prompt and a file .ps is created in the working
directory.

Of course in R-GUI plot is ok.

I don't use X11. I use Aqua plot.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance,
Alberto Santini

This is the expected behavior - you are not using X11, so the default
device is the PostScript device.

What is "Aqua plot"? I fear you don't have much of a choice - if I
recall correctly X11 is the only stock interactive device that works
in ESS. Jan de Leeuw posed some hints as of how you can try patch R
to get Quartz to respond in some circumstances, but I don't know if
that works with your Emacs (there are many variations of Emacs for OS
X) - you may want to have a look at the archives.

Cheers,
Simon
