Well, after your kind solicitation I went through all the touble of locally fixing getGraphicsEvent Cairo support and implementing an onIdle handler. However, I noticed that the first part actually already has a patch on the R bug tracker, which is exactly the same as the fix I implemented! (minus documentation) https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14364 Problem: somebody ignored the patch and closed the bug. Who closed it? YOU! So, I guess since that patch (fixing Cairo support) was sent in 2010, and my patch (fixing both problems) is about 8 times longer, I can expect you to ignore my patch until at least 2063 (a tight lower bound if you apply Hugo's patch this year). :) I posted my patch here: https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16951 Frederick ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
