> I have studied in more detail the problem referred to in the message below, and can confirm that R does not work well on macOS when I do graphics (plots).
> I have only tested with the "abline” command, using the examples that are in R’s help. And it does not work.
> I have tested it on several computers, in Terminal and with RGUI. 
> I have also checked it in RStudio in macOS (it does work) and with R in Windows (it does work).

> What I have done is the following:
> In the "abline" command help, the first example is:
> ## Setup up coordinate system (with x == y aspect ratio):
> plot(c(-2,3), c(-1,5), type = "n", xlab = "x", ylab = "y", asp = 1)
> ## the x- and y-axis, and an integer grid
> abline(h = 0, v = 0, col = "gray60")
> text(1,0, "abline( h = 0 )", col = "gray60", adj = c(0, -.1))
> abline(h = -1:5, v = -2:3, col = "lightgray", lty = 3)
> abline(a = 1, b = 2, col = 2)
> text(1,3, "abline( 1, 2 )", col = 2, adj = c(-.1, -.1))
> 
> if I run line by line, R does not do the plots (only open the Quartz window).
> If I run all together, R does the plots sometimes yes and sometimes no.

> I have the latest stable version of XQuartz (2.8.5)
