[R] ubuntu and rgl package vs suse ?? static plots
Hello all, I've switched over my OS to ubuntu from Suse 10.3. In suse I was able to load up the 'rgl' library in R and then move my plots around after I had plotted them. Which I assumed was part of the openGL. However, since switching to ubuntu I am unable to 'move' my plot around, they are just static plots. :( I have done some things differently such as install R from the .tar.gz instead of rpm. The rgl package doens't complain when I install it. Is there something I'm overlooking? Same laptop same graphics card? cheers, Paul __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

Re: [R] ubuntu and rgl package vs suse ?? static plots
This is really odd. Because in Suse I could have compiz on and still have rotating rgl plots. I did have kde in suse and now gnome in ubuntu but I wouldn't have thought that would make the difference. It must be a ubuntu thing. Very odd. Paul Duncan Murdoch wrote: On 7/17/2008 2:54 PM, H.
