[R-SIG-Mac] Problem generating an SVG file from a CSV file on the Mac - updated with test script and test data

[Richard Fuhr]

Roy,

Thanks for testing it.

I am running MacOS Mojave 10.14.6

When I invoke the commands interactively from within R, the system also hangs when I try to create the SVG file.

I don’t see an error message; it just hangs.

Invoking sessionInfo() yields the following:


> sessionInfo()
R version 3.6.1 (2019-07-05)
Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0 (64-bit)

Thanks,
