quartz() and windows()

Hi,

when windows and mac users collaborate, one always has to use search&replace
on the quartz() function.

Is there a better way? Some command which tells whether one is working in a
Windows or OSX setting?



Thanks
Nino

Hi,

thanks for your quick reply.

I just added the following in front of everything else in the script:

if(.Platform$OS.type=="windows") {
  quartz<-function() windows()
}

Works as expected.


Thanks,
Nino

One way (from my MacPro OS X 10.5.5):

 > .Platform$OS.type
[1] "unix"

Another:

 > Sys.info()["sysname"]
  sysname
"Darwin"

The help pages say NOT to do this:
 > R.version$os
[1] "darwin9.5.0"

Or in this case, ?dev.new, which covers all platforms, even 
non-interactive use.
