Dear all,

I am a very new user to R (for windows) (since Monday!) so please excuse
me if I am asking an obvious question!

I am experiencing some problems with the graphics window - in short, it
keeps disappearing.  i.e. I can type
No errors are produced, but not graphics window appears either.  

The graphics window tends to work if I plot graphs immediately after
opening R, but after I have had R open for a while and have run several
functions/loaded datasets it stops appearing.

Does anyone know why this is, I am a little confused!

Many thanks

Hi Lauren,

try it with dev.off() before plotting.
Perhaps you have an old window or connection open somewhere.

Bests,
Ralph

Hi

what

dev.cur()

If it is something like

pdf 
3

your plot is transfered to this device not to standard windows device (if 
you are on Windows), so 

dev.off( )

close current device and you probably can do intended plotting again. See 
Devices help page.

Regards

Petr
