Hi - I was wondering if it is possible to run an R script on a unix machine remotely and then have it pop up images on a windows machine without the x11 device - or have a windows listening window where it will show any images that the R script will generate on the unix machine. Thank you, Paul Grosu

The easy way to see R's graphical output on a Windows box when you are running R remotely on a unix box is to run an X windows client on the Windows box. I've had success doing this with a commericial product (Hummingbird Exceed) and by installing cygwin and the XFree86 package and running X in rootless mode. There may be other solutions where you create a png and pipe that over the network and display locally, but they won't be trivial to setup, I suspect. > - or have a windows listening window where it will show any images > that the R script will generate on the unix machine. I don't know what you mean by the above. + seth
