R can not show plots (in Mac OS X terminal)

Hi

Hi,
You should use X11. It doesn't work in Terminal.
To make Apple's Terminal use X11 first one should set the DISPLAY 
environment variable

if you are using bash, put the following line in .bash_profile

[[ -z $DISPLAY ]] && export DISPLAY=":0.0"
You can use the basic Xterm in X11 or like I do Aterm.

Dear all:

I am a newbie in Mac. Just installed R and found R did not react on 
my command plot (I use command line in terminal). It did not give me 
any error message, either. All it did was just giving out a new 
command prompt--no reaction to the plot command. I suppose whenever I 
gives out a command of plot, it will invoke the AquaTerm for a small 
graph, as I experience in octave. What can I do for it?

Many thanks,
Minyu Chen
