It's a minor annoyance, but I find that after I run example(), the
console state of prompting to press Enter for
each new graph remains as it is under example. It's more annoying that
it seems difficult to turn this behavior
off!
In a fresh session:
> getOption("example.ask")
[1] "default"
Run an example:
> example(plot)
plot> require(stats)
plot> plot(cars)
Waiting to confirm page change...
...
> getOption("example.ask")
[1] "default"
# do another plot:

There does seem to be code in example to reset this state on exit, and
I'm baffled why it doesn't actually
do it
...
if (ask == "default")
ask <- echo && grDevices::dev.interactive(orNone = TRUE)
if (ask) {
if (.Device != "null device") {
oldask <- grDevices::devAskNewPage(ask = TRUE)
if (!oldask)
on.exit(grDevices::devAskNewPage(oldask), add = TRUE)
}
op <- options(device.ask.default = TRUE)
on.exit(options(op), add = TRUE)
}
...
So, how can I restore the previous state of plotting w/out prompting?
It's not the console state that is left that way, it's the graphics
window. If you close it, the next window you open will have the state
you wanted. If you had had a window open before you called example, it
would have been restored.
