Hello. First post, please excuse lack of experience. I recently switched from MS-Win to Kubuntu and find it rather difficult to recover Cran-R ease of use. The "Graphics history" facility available under Windows was, for me, extremely useful. From Murrell's 2005 book (see citation below) I understand that no such facility is available under non-Windows systems. In R-help archive, a 2000 comment from Ripley seems to confirm. (see below) Questions: - do I correctly understand that "No <Graphics history> facility is available for Linux systems"? - (if Yes above) Please, let me understand why?? Many thanks for sharing. Sincerely, Roberto Scotti

On Windows there is a facility for returning to previous screens of output (see the \History" menu, which is available when a graphics window has focus), but on most screen devices, the output of previous pages is lost." ------------------------ *Subject: *Re: [R] Activating Graphics History *From: *Prof Brian D Ripley (/[email protected]/) *Date: *Sat 29 Jan 2000 - 08:06:24 EST * *In reply to:* Jim Ianelli: "[R] Activating Graphics History <http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/00a/0196.html> Message-ID: <[email protected]> On Fri, 28 Jan 2000, Jim Ianelli wrote: /> I'm having trouble finding documentation on how / /> to activate the "record graphics history" option via / /> a command line (as opposed to having to use the menu). / ///.............../ /> But I can't find anything about setting the recording of plots / /> without using the menu. / Crucially, you did not say you were doing this on Windows, and it is only available on the windows() device on Windows.
