Hi, I thought (and the help confirms this belief) that ESC was one way to get out of a locator call before reaching the number of points specified in the call. I cannot get this to work on my MacBook Pro with 10.5.3. Here is the session info: > sessionInfo() R version 2.7.0 Patched (2008-05-07 r45642) i386-apple-darwin9.2.2 locale: fr_CA.UTF-8/fr_CA.UTF-8/C/C/fr_CA.UTF-8/fr_CA.UTF-8 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base > plot(1:10) > locator(n=3) No way to get out of locator without clicking 3 times on the plot. Am I doing something wrong (I tried ESC, shift-ESC, command-ESC, control-ESC, option(Alt)-ESC, to no avail (except that one of them starts Front Row!). Are you able to ESC from locator? Sincerely, Denis Chabot

Yes, if you use a more recent R-patched (r45743 from 5/20 or later). Previous versions react only to <Ctrl><Click>, later ones react to both <Esc> and <Ctrl><Click>. Cheers, Simon
Thanks Simon, I'm downloading the most recent versions of R2.7.0 Leopard and the R gui right now. Denis Le 08-06-03 ? 09:05, Simon Urbanek a ?crit :
