Yes, but you don't need Xquartz or even an X server to plot to a quartz
device. Start start R from a terminal and type plot(1:10) and it will be
plotted on a quartz device, even if you don't start an X server.

An X server is optional and only needed if you want to plot to an X11
device. Actually I was wrong and not all OSX versions have an X server
included. But as I said, you don't need an X server, anyway.

You mean you did

install.packages("igraph")

? That is good.

It is not, AFAIK. I can happily plot without having the X server running.
