Hi all,
I'm trying to use the polygon function from
the graphics package, and get this error
message :
> polygon(x=c(1,2,3,1),y=c(1,4,5,1))
Error in .Internal(polygon(xy$x, xy$y, col, border, lty, ...)) :
there is no .Internal function 'polygon'
That annoys me because polygon is actually
called by several other functions I need.
my R version:
R version 3.1.2 (2014-10-31) -- "Pumpkin Helmet"

and I just updated everything.
You are not using the polygon() function from the graphics package,
you're using one coming from somewhere else (maybe an old version of R,
or some package). The polygon() function in the graphics package
doesn't call .Internal(polygon(..., it calls
.External.graphics(C_polygon, ...
This is one reason why it's a really bad idea to say "yes" when asked
whether you want to save your R workspace. If at some point you made a
copy of the polygon() function and saved it, you're stuck with that one
forever (or at least until you delete it from your workspace, or even
better, delete the whole saved workspace).
