Actually it can, provided that you: - install the package CarbonEL which allows you to plot to quartz windows from outside R.app (with minor quirks but that's still very nice to have) - set the default plotting device to X11 in your .Rprofile and: . do nothing if you are on leopard (since X11 should start automatically) . if you are on previous versions, add export DISPLAY=:0.0 to you shell startup script (.profile, .bashrc whatever) so that the display variable is defined. You'll have to start X11 manually but once it is started, you should be able to run X11 apps directly from Terminal.app Hope that helps.
