I assume this is windoze. Have you considered using the Rterm? You can have
in your script the plot to be created as an eps file

Ultimately, I would like to launch R (from another application) with a
script as an argument that creates a plot. I am running on Windows XP
with R 2.4.0. I currently can do this with S-Plus from my application
by giving this command:
C:\Program Files\Insightful\splus62\cmd\splus.exe S_PROJ=C:\myproject
C:\myproject\myscript.ssc
I would like to be able to port my scripts to R and use R to keep
costs low for academics, etc.
The closest that I have been able to come to doing this in R is to
create a .First function:
.First - function() source(test.R)
The test.R file contains the following lines:
a-c(1,2,3,4)
b-c(1,4,9,16)
plot(a,b)
The error on launching rgui.exe with a batch file (C:\Program
Files\R\R-2.4.0\bin\Rgui.exe --quiet) is:
Error in eval.with.vis(expr, envir, enclos) :
could not find function plot
(any other high level function also does not work)
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill
