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

"1.3.2 Multiple pages of output"
"For a screen device, starting a new page involves clearing the window
before
producing more output. 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."

Crucially, you did not say you were doing this on Windows, and it is only
available on the windows() device on Windows. I am not aware of any way to
do this.
