Hello, When I run my .r script using source (myfilename) from console the plots appear. However, when I execute the same file via terminal command line using R CMD BATCH myfilename, the plots do not appear. I am working with Mac. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks, Atul

In BATCH mode it does not make much sense to display plots on the screen because the script may be running on a system without screen (cluster). So R uses a different default device. On my LINUX system it's pdf, so all my plots go to Rplots.pdf unless I explicitly send them somewhere else. I don't know about the defaults on Macs but you should be able to find the file in the current directory easily. cu Philipp
