Dear useRs, On a GNU/Linux box I want to run some code from the command line. This works #!/bin/sh R --vanilla -q --gui=X11 < code.r however I want the plots to appear in a window (as it happens when the code is run interactively) instead of being saved in 'Rplots.ps'. Is that doable? Thank you, b.

You could explicitly startup an X11 graphics device before your first plot in your R source code, something like: x11() hist(runif(100)) Works for me, although the window will disappear very quickly unless the script pauses before ending! Baz
