[R] How to pop up the graphics window from Rscript?

[David Winsemius]

Perhaps you should read the Posting Guide (again?) and then adopt a  
consistent practice of including system information in your questions  
to r-help. Not everyone keeps a mental list of what OS you are using.  
Graphics commands are highly OS specific.

capabilities() # at an interactive R prompt anyway, will return a list  
of devices for your system.

You may want X11() since you are on a Linux box, but my experience on  
Linux is virtually nil, so that's a guess based on reading prior  
postings.
