Hello,
I am wondering about the X11() graphic device on Windows.
There is no such device: there is a function of that name as a
convenience wrapper for windows().
I try to plot a raster image but nothing gets displayed. I
found some pages where it is mentioned that x11() not
always supports raster rendering.
I think you are talking about the X11 device on a Unix-alike, most
likely long ago. But for example ?rasterImage says
Plotting raster images is not supported on all devices and may
have limitations where supported, for example (e.g. for
‘postscript’ and ‘X11(type = "Xlib")’) restricted to opaque
colors.
'some pages' isn't good enough: do give precise references to back up
your allegations.
Is there any add on for x11, any update or any R-package
which solves that displaying problem in Windows?
What I try to test it is an example from the
package {raster}:
library(raster)
DEU_alt<- getData("alt", country="DEU", mask=TRUE)
x11()
plot(DEU_alt,axes=TRUE)
That's not really the same usage of 'raster'. But that example works
for me (and pops up a windows() device). It does download a data file,
and that is often a fragile thing to do.
I used 32-bit R-patched on Windows 7, for the record.
best regards,
