Re: [R] Why doesnot Rscript work ?
Hi, Rscript is meant for non-interactive use, so the default device is not the same as when you run R. If you really want a window, open it yourself by calling the appropriate function (X11, windows, ... ) or reset the device option to whichever device you want to use, but it will disappear at the end of the script, so not very interesting. You probably should open a png device or something and then write the grap there. See ?png, ?pdf, ?X11, ?options, ?Rscript Romain On 12/14/2009 10:59 AM, z_axis wrote: %cat stock.R #! /usr/local/bin/Rscript args- commandArgs(TRUE) args x- read.csv(000301.csv) matplot(x[,1],x[,-1],type=l) #q(save=no) %Rscript stock.R 000301.csv [1] 000301.csv matplot doesnot draw anything(no drawing window).

Incorrect: it plots on the default device for batch use, most likely pdf(), so look for a file Rplots.pdf. You have ignored the posting guide so we do not know your OS. On a Unix-alike, you could explicitly open X11() (quartz() on a Mac), but it would be closed again at the end of your script unless you arrange to pause the script.
