On the subject of the GUI's management of the quartz window, I am
wondering if there is an option in the current controls that I could
change somewhere that would bring the quartz window to the foreground
when a new plot is displayed?
On the subject of possibly using Apple's PDFkit, I wondered whether it
might have a benefit in off-loading from the Mac developers the
programming details involved in creating the screen display and allow
file creation. At the moment there is only one file format supported
(pdf) and the copy function does not apparently create a clipboard
file that OpenOffice.org can paste. I cannot be sure that both
problems would be solved by using an Apple PDFkit interface. After
looking at the PDFkit pages I am thinking neither would be immediately
solved, and the path forward for me would be a mechanism for invoking
the pdf device and triggering a system script for reopening the newest
file in Preview, which would then offer me all the facilities I seek.

Dear Jiang,
Thank you very much for your reply.
I definitely understand that such enhancement is not a priority… but
hope that future version of R will still be improved (though it's
open-
source ;)
So if this point convince some contributor, it would be cool to see
this implemented… one day…
Best,
Thomas

Hi, Thomas
I feel like the suggestion is not a core improvement of GUI, but
just a enhancement, does it ?
The R GUI now is NOT the time to do such things since it open
source, it takes time.

Hello,
First of all, I would like to thank you for the great gui you
developped for R under mac. What a great change when it appeared!
By now, a few improvement would make user life even easier and more
pleasant ;)
Mainly regarding quartz graphic windows: having a toolbar with a few
features would not hurt. As in TexShop for instance: hand, small
magnifier, big magnifier, zoom tool, save and print… and why not
tabbed graphic window.
Here are my two cents… I have no idea about the doability, but I
guess that if you use mac PDFkit for display, these functions should
be provided out of the box?! But I'm not sure quartz rely on
PDFkit…
Thank you in advance for your attention. Best regards,
Thomas
