All, There seems to be something wrong between OS X 10.7.5 and how quartz reads Apple graphics resolution on 24" iMac (early 2008, iMac8,1) on R 2.15.1 GUI1.52. On this hardware/OS/R version the default R plot is a rectangle. On same hardware/R version running OS X 10.7.4 the default R plot is square as expected. (I don't see this behavior on 20" iMac once upgraded to 10.7.5.)
On this problematic iMac, if I run quartz.options() without changing anything I see:
quartz.options()
$title [1] "Quartz %d" $width [1] 7 $height [1] 7 $pointsize [1] 12 $family [1] "Helvetica" $fontsmooth [1] TRUE $antialias [1] TRUE $type [1] "native" $bg [1] "transparent" $canvas [1] "white" $dpi [1] NA But any plot, eg. >plot (rnorm(10),rnorm(10)) returns an image that is most definitely not a square. Can anyone help me investigate this? For instance where/how does R create the plot graphic? Are there specific OS X file(s) that R reads to generate the plots? My assumption is that this is an Apple Inc. generated problem but figured that the R community might be a bit more responsive.. Thanks, Ray -- ******************* Raymond Spence U.C.
