Can you use the Xlib backend in R? sage: print r.eval('capabilities()') jpeg png tiff tcltk X11 aqua http/ftp sockets libxml fifo cledit FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE iconv NLS profmem cairo TRUE TRUE FALSE FALSE
You need more than just the Sage minimal requirements for R graphics. At least X11 development, ideally a working cairo. I think we should just disable our own freetype if the OS provides a working freetype (with headers). Otherwise you need a pretty large stack, cairo + freetype + harfbuzz + ... to produce high-quality plots. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
