Thank you for the suggestion.
Early in the first function my script invokes, I have:
options(width = 120)
so I inserted the line:
options(bitmapType="cairo")
just after that. Re-running the script (from an environment without the
DISPLAY environment variable set) yields:
| Error in .External2(C_X11, paste("png::", filename, sep = ""), g$width, :
| unable to start device PNG
| Calls: gen_build_histogram -> png
| In addition: Warning message:
| In png(filename = fn, height = height, width = width, units = "in", :
| unable to open connection to X11 display ''
| Execution halted
(as before).

I had not seen that particular message, no; thank you for pointing it out.
When I try that, I see:
dwolf-fbsd(9.2-S)[3] echo $DISPLAY
DISPLAY: Undefined variable.

Compare the above with:
