[R-SIG-Mac] troubles with tkrplot

[Day, Roger S]

**** Let me give this another try. Still a problem with 2.14.2 ***

Problems with tcl/tk, tkrplot etc, running R.app or R on Lion :


Running the example from tkrplot,
dozens of error messages are generated of the form
1: In plot.xy(xy, type, ...) :
 X11 protocol error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
2: In plot.xy(xy, type, ...) :
 X11 protocol error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
3: In axis(side = side, at = at, labels = labels, ...) :
 X11 protocol error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
etcetera.

My work with tcltk was dormant for a long time ... over a year.
I don't remember these messages before.  Makes me suspect Lion.
I've reinstalled R and tcltk;  no change.

X11 "about" shows "XQuartz 2.6.3 (xorg-server 1.10.3)".
I've tried installing XQuartz 2.7.1, but then R hangs on loading tcltk.
So I reset DISPLAY to ":0" or ":1", and X11 works fine but generates the error messages noted.

The tkrplot example code does work as it's supposed to - the plot updates as one resets the slider -  despite the error messages.

But I want to understand what's happening...
and of course for my project, though it is working, I don't want these messages plaguing users.

Any advice?  Or redirect my question to another forum?
Thanks for any help!
