Rstudio suddenly stopped showing plot graphics

Question

Instead, they open in a separate file named "Quartz"

> sessionInfo() R version 3.3.1 (2016-06-21) Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0 (64-bit) Running under: OS X 10.9.5 (Mavericks) locale: [1] en_CA.UTF-8/en_CA.UTF-8/en_CA.UTF-8/C/en_CA.UTF-8/en_CA.UTF-8 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base other attached packages: [1] cluster_2.0.4 tm_0.6-2 NLP_0.1-9 ggplot2_2.1.0 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] colorspace_1.2-6 scales_0.4.0 plyr_1.8.4 parallel_3.3.1 tools_3.3.1 gtable_0.2.0 Rcpp_0.12.5 slam_0.1-35 [9] grid_3.3.1 munsell_0.4.3 

I tried tools> global options> panels> selected areas.

I do not know what other information you want to share. I see the plot area with the "Charts" tab active. But it is empty.

Screen:

Notice that a new menu appears with the words "Quartz". Not sure what it is, but it appears when r generates a graph and the regular rstudio menu disappears.

How can I show rstudio to display graphs in the graph panel, as it was done 5 minutes ago?

Answer 1

Try to do this.

 dev.off() 

See if it works

 plot(rnorm(50), rnorm(50)) 

Answer 2

I work with Rmarkdown, and in my case, I solved this problem as follows:

• Go to Tools-> Global Settings-> Rmarkdown

• In the "Show preview in window" section, select "View Panel"

• Uncheck "Show output lines for all R Markdown documents"

All the best!

Answer 3

it worked for me when I first closed all @ udit-gupta devices. Recursively close all devices after device discovery.

 dev.cur() dev.off(i) #where i = index of device to be switched off 

return device with

 getOption("device") 

or

 dev.set(which = dev.next()) 

Answer 4

I had the same problem after updating R to version 3.3.2 and using Rstudio 0.98.0. Installing the latest version of RStudio fixed the problem

Answer 5

If the same problem ... was able to visualize graphs in the graph area some time before it disappeared ... all attempts with the suggestions above failed ... they sent out a blog below and made it work ...

https://datasciencelearner.wordpress.com/2014/08/17/my-plot-is-not-showing-up/

the trick is to wrap the graphic command inside the print function ... for example ...

 print( plt2 <- ggplot(housing, aes(x = Home.Value)) + geom_histogram() ) 

Answer 6

This may be due to the fact that the graphics device is already on.

To find open device indices: dev.cur() close dev.off(i) devices

whereas i = the index of the device to be disconnected

Answer 7

To resolve the problem, follow the procedure below.

  dev.off() print(plot(1)) # Basically use print command once 

Now use the plot command, as you usually use, and it should work fine.
