x11 {base}

R Documentation

X Window System Graphics

Description

x11 starts a graphics device driver for the X Window System (version 11). This should be done automagically at start up time and can only be done on machines that run X.

print.plot() prints the plot using the printcmd command. save.plot("fig.ps") saves an encapsulated postscript version of the plot in the file "fig.ps" (attempting to be pretty wysiwyg). Both make use of the paper and orientation arguments.

Usage

x11(display = "", width = 7, height = 7, ps = 12,
    printcmd = options("printcmd")$printcmd,
    paper = options("papersize")$papersize,
    orientation = "flexible")
print.plot()
save.plot(file)

Arguments

display	the display on which the graphics window will appear. The default is to use the value in the user's environment variable DISPLAY.
width	the width of the plotting window in inches.
height	the height of the plotting window in inches.
ps	the default pointsize to be used.
printcmd	the command used to print a hardcopy.
paper	the paper type for hardcopy, currently "a4" or "letter".
orientation	the orientation for hardcopy, one of "portrait", "landscape", or "flexible".
