Using X11 from the mac terminal

X11()
Error in X11(d$display, d$width, d$height, d$pointsize, d$gamma,
d$colortype,  :
  unable to start device X11
In addition: Warning message:
In X11() : unable to open connection to X11 display ''

What am I doing wrong?  X11 is open, and I have
Sys.getenv("DISPLAY")
[1] "0.0.0.0:0"

I'm sure this used to work, but something has changed in the last few
months.  Any ideas?

Thanks!

I know this sounds obvious... but whenever such weird things happen to
me, I close R, kill X11 and fire up R again... and the problems go
away....

I'm on a Mac right now that works, but it shows

If you are like me and absolutely hate the Apple auto-X11 setting and disabled it then something like
X11(":0.0")
should work *after* you start X11. If in doubt, open the xterm and look at
echo $DISPLAY
sometimes it may be something like :2 instead (it depends on your other X11 processes, weather and the constellation of stars...)

Cheers,
Simon
