In an elderly version of ``plotSymbols'' (now in the cwhmisc package) that
I had lying around, there was the example
plot(1:10,xlab="\374")
which the comments said would give a u-umlaut as the x-axis label.
When I execute this plot
(a) I get no x-axis label at all, and
(b) the plot ``freezes'' in that further plotting commands
(e.g. plot(runif(42))) produce no results. The plot window (X11)
remains as it was after the ``plot(1:10,xlab="\374")'' command.
No error message is given, but no new plot is produced.
If I do dev.off(), then normal plotting recommences. Can anyone explain
to me what is going on here? My session info is given below. I run R
from the command line, from a terminal window.
cheers,
Rolf Turner
