Berton,
Thank you for your response. Loading the graphics library in the .First function worked.

See ?Startup and the rw FAQ for info on startup procedures. I assume by "Rprofile file" you mean Rprofile.site. As ?options --> defaultPackages states, the graphics library is one of those loaded by default but, as ?Startup states, **not** until after Rprofile.site is executed. Since plot()is now in the graphics library and not in base, it is not present when you try to execute your plot commands -- ergo the error. So explicitly load the library by calling library(graphics) ** before ** you plot, and you should then be able to do your plotting.

Subject: [R] Using the Rprofile file to automatically plot data on Startup of R version 2.0.1.
Dear R Help Members,
I have some R functions that plot semiconductor data. I would like to automate these plots for individuals in our group such that they don't have to know R. I have read the R help manuals and postings but have not found this problem.
I am using R version 2.0.1 under a Windows 2000 operating system.
The following is a simplified version of what I am tring to do:
If I insert the following R code in the Rprofile file located in directory 'C:\Program Files\R\rw2001\etc':
x <- c(1,2,3,4,5) y <- c(2,5,6,3,10) plot(x,y)
Using the Rgui.exe or the R.exe terminal version of R the following message appears:
Error: couldn't find function "plot"
If I copy and paste the command 'plot(x,y)' into the R Console Window the scatter plot appears in the R Graphics Device window as expected.
I have also tried putting the above code in a 'R' script file and using the source command but I get the same error message.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
John Fisler
