Plot window does not update in embedded code

Thomas, Simon,

Thank you for your answers. I will have a look at the code Thomas gave
me and probably also have another look at src/unix/sys-std.c. I'll get
back when I have this working, or, more likely, when I can't get this
to work.

As for the example code. I know it is very fragile. I tried to make a
minimal complete example that showed the problem without having to
attach hundreds of lines of code that nobody will read. However, what
parts are unix specific? Is it the int Rf_initialize_R and
R_running_as_main_program? What non os specific options do I have?

Again thank you for your answers.

Regards,

Jan

Use
R_CheckUserInterrupt()

Actually, the above is true but assumes that you're running R's REPL and not your own R_ReadConsole (it will work even in your ReadConsole but unix handlers are not run in that case so only some events will work).

The code below is very fragile and unix-specific.

That is true, too, but even after R_ProcessEvenrts refactorization the handlers are still-unix specific so I stand corrected and you still have to run handlers manually (note that you don't need PolledEvents anymore since they are part of the handlers).

Cheers,
Simon

How do I ensure that the windows keep being updated?

in RKWard we run the following periodically during idle phases:


// this basically copied from R's unix/sys-std.c (Rstd_ReadConsole)
#ifndef Q_WS_WIN
     for (;;) {
             fd_set *what;
             what = R_checkActivityEx(R_wait_usec > 0 ? R_wait_usec : 50, 1,
Rf_onintr);
             R_runHandlers(R_InputHandlers, what);
             if (what == NULL) break;
     }
     /* This seems to be needed to make Rcmdr react to events. Has this always
been the case? It was commented out for a long time, without anybody noticing.
*/
     R_PolledEvents ();
#else
     R_ProcessEvents();
#endif
