I've managed to successfully use R (based on a remote Linux server) and have th e graphics piped back to me via SSH on a windows machine..
Take a look at XMing on the windows side, along with PuTTY. On 2/22/2010 2:41 PM, Vojtěch Zeisek wrote: Dne Po 22. února 2010 19:33:45 Kevin E. Thorpe napsal(a): K.

I am totally ignorant about linux and SSH....:( Memory limitation forces me to switch from windows to Linux cluster..... Could you provide us with more information about the software you use for establishing the ssh connection (i.e. your ssh client). I suppose you are connecting a linux server (having R on it) from a windows system, aren't you? And you use a ssh client software, right? There should be an "enable X11 forwarding" (or something similar) option in your ssh client application. You should look e.g. in "connection settings". When I have to work from Windows (i do not like it:-), I use Putty [1]http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ - there is possibility to enable X11 forwarding enabling using also applications with windows. But here I can not help - see documentation. Another possibility should be exporting the graphs to files without viewing and then downloading using SCP or SFTP. Or it might be possible to use some VNC client and to connect to the server with full-featured remote desktop. But here more information would provide local admin. Best regards, Vojtěch Zeisek Kind regards, Kimmo Agree. Sounds like you are using a client on Windows. Also, Vojtech Zeisek's reply is pertinent too. ______________________________________________ [2]r-h...@r-project.org mailing list [3]https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide [4]http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
