No, because it is not fixed. The FAQ is part of the GUI and thus in the GUI bundle. It has nothing to do with R and R can exist (and does) without the GUI so you can't link to it from R. It is trivially accessible directly form the Help menu - I don't see how it can be more obvious=. > That will make it easier for the next person converting from windows to mac. > Well, it certainly doesn't make sense to introduce Windows idiosyncrasies to Mac - if you convert to Mac you will need to buy into the "just-works" philosophy.

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] graphics device with record=TRUE
thank you again. I have a request for Simon. On the windows machines, the R and Windows FAQ are both in c:/Program Files/R/R-2.15.1/doc Hence I looked for the Mac FAQ in the same place as the R FAQ on Mac. On windows, searchpaths() gives a list of items like "c:/Program Files/R/R-2.15.1/library/base" which gives a starting directory in which to look. On the Mac, search paths() gives "/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/base" which in this case was not helpful for finding the Mac FAQ. Can you set up a symbolic link from /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.15/Resources/doc to point to /Applications/R.app/Contents/Resources? That will make it easier for the next person converting from windows to mac. Thanks Rich On Thu, Jul 5, 2012 at 11:59 AM, David Winsemius wrote: > > On Jul 5, 2012, at 10:58 AM, Richard M.

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] graphics device with record=TRUE
It is interesting to compare working styles. I am not "up to" anything. I am trying to recreate in Mac the standard working style I use in R on windows and also in S-Plus on windows. I just keep the complete graph history until it complains about lack of memory. In S-Plus, it is possible to delete individual plots. In R on windows I haven't found an easy way to do that, so I just delete the R object containing the entire history. When I adjust arguments to xyplot or plot it is very helpful to be able to back up and see what the previous incarnation of the graph looked like. Where is "R MacOSX FAQ"? I don't see it on my computer inside /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/ I am using R-2.15.1 from CRAN. What is GEcreateSnapshot? I tried ?, emacs apropos, and man with no success. Where is the display list kept on the mac? ls(all=TRUE) isn't showing it. On windows, it is > ls(all=TRUE) [1] ".SavedPlots" When I do find the display list on the mac, how can I index into it farther back than 16? What I would like are two features that I have become accustomed to. >From either R on windows or S-Plus, click graphs forward or backward in sequence as far back as memory supports. >From S-Plus on windows, click on a tab to get to a specific graph, or click on a tab and delete a specific graph.

It is not part of the R.app GUI but actually of the Quartz device in R itself so it is not configurable. It simply saves display lists and replays them as you go back - you can do that with any device that has display lists enabled (see dev.control). I'm not sure what Rich is up to but you can always save and restore plots with GEcreateSnapshot and GEplayDisplayList regardless of the device and the display list is just an R object.

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] graphics device with record=TRUE
David, thank you. it works. Where is it documented? I want to set the depth to something much larger than 10. I don't see anything about the stack on the ?quartz page and there appears not to be any control option on the quartz menu item on the device itself.
