Dear r-sig-mac list members,
The following reliably crashes R.app for R 3.2.2 under El Capitan (at least for
me):
library(rgl)
demo("rgl") # press return a few times
My session info:
> sessionInfo()
R version 3.2.2 (2015-08-14)
Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0 (64-bit)
Running under: OS X 10.11 (El Capitan)
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] rgl_0.95.1367
As far as I can tell, this problem occurs only in R.app, not when R is run from
a terminal, nor in RStudio.
The problem was brought to my attention by José Conde (whom I've cc'd this
message), who encountered the problem using the scatter3d() function from the
car package through the Rcmdr GUI -- but the problem apparently isn't specific
either to the Rcmdr or to scatter3d().
In the case of scatter3d(), the problem occurs only when displaying a
regression surface, as in
scatter3d(prestige ~ income + education, data=Prestige)
but not in
scatter3d(prestige ~ income + education, data=Prestige, surface=FALSE)
I hope that this provides enough clues to resolve the problem.
Best,
John
