Below are 2 scripts (png.R and pdf.R) I am trying to run in R from PHP. # png.R x11(display=":5") png(filename="g.png") plot(1:5) graphics.off()
# pdf.R pdf(file="g.pdf") plot(1:5) graphics.off() Both run from terminals and png.R will run without a normal X server if Xvfb is running. Neither runs under PHP, though (when invoked as "R --no-save < xxx.R"). They yield the following errors (with the R startup banner deleted for compactness): > x11(display=":5") > png(filename="g.png") Error in X11(paste("png::", filename, sep = ""), width, height, pointsize, : unable to start device PNG In addition: Warning message: could not open PNG file `g.png' Execution halted and > pdf(file="/usr/pkg/share/httpd/htdocs/test-R/g.pdf") Error in PDF(file, old$family, old$encoding, old$bg, old$fg, width, height, : unable to start device pdf In addition: Warning message: cannot open `pdf' file argument `/usr/pkg/share/httpd/htdocs/test-R/g.pdf' Execution halted For reference, the R banner information includes the following: R : Copyright 2003, The R Development Core Team Version 1.6.2 (2003-01-10) Any help on how to get these scripts to work is greatly appreciated.
