Subject: Cairo 'Out of memory' error
In-Reply-To: <66b6c3540912051205u41079489x7728297671f5efd@mail.gmail.com>
I am using R from ESS, with X11 as the default graphics device.
In due course, when I run a function that tries to open a new
graphics window, I get the message:
> g10.6()
Error in X11(d$display, d$width, d$height, d$pointsize, d$gamma, d$colortype, :
unable to start device X11cairo
In addition: Warning message:
In device.call(...) : cairo error 'out of memory'
This was happening also under R-2.9.1; decided I had better
report/inquire. I then have the choice of opening a quartz
window, or restarting both R and X11.
