I had the same problem (on R2.1.0 on Win XPSP2), let me just add, in case it is of any help: 1) that even when the plot works in 2.1.0 it takes much longer than in R2.0.1 2) this is worse if plot(x,type="l") is used (17sec versus 1sec for the type="l" plot with a vector of length 15000) example follows:
x=rnorm(15000) date() plot(x) date() plot(x,type="l") date() I obtained, in R2.1.0 > date() [1] "Thu May 05 12:52:04 2005" > plot(x) > date() [1] "Thu May 05 12:52:05 2005" > plot(x,type="l") > date() [1] "Thu May 05 12:52:22 2005" in R2.0.1 > date() [1] "Thu May 05 12:52:58 2005" > plot(x) > date() [1] "Thu May 05 12:52:59 2005" > plot(x,type="l") > date() [1] "Thu May 05 12:53:00 2005" On 5/5/05, Patrick Burns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I can confirm that on my system running Windows 2000 that the > command using R 2.1.0 hangs -- the graphics window appears but > nothing happens subsequently.
