Your are correct. I have been using quartz() on the released intel build of R_4.0.3 on the Mac Silicon. The misbehavior I reported is about quartz(). R graphics defaults to quartz() when no device is specified.
I was unaware that XQuartz and quartz are unrelated. quartz is faster and allows pagination. XQuartz is very slow, you can watch it draw each panel, and each bar in a bar graph. XQuartz does not have pagination. ________________________________________ From: Prof Brian Ripley <rip...@stats.ox.ac.uk> Sent: Tuesday, February 9, 2021 1:26 PM To: Richard M. Heiberger; Peter West; r-sig-mac@r-project.org Subject: [External] Re: [R-SIG-Mac] [External] Behaviour or Quartz windows The quartz() device has nothing to so with XQuartz. Quartz is part of macOS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_(graphics_layer) Using XQuartz betas is not supported: it is very unfortunate that they are persuading users to install a beta version. You have not followed the posting guide and posted the sessionInfo(). We are left to guess that you are using an Intel build of R under emulation, but homebrew does have (a rather broken) arm64 build of R 4.0.3: we do not support arm64 builds on R < 4.1.0. My understanding is that in the CRAN release of R 4.0.3 only the X11() device and parts of Tk interact with XQuartz, although other parts may in other builds. On 09/02/2021 17:33, Richard M.
