Hallo people, I have just updated my R to v2.9.0 in my OSX and I have obtained an strange message. When I try to get which is my device with the command that worked fine previously getOption("device") I get very strange "device". I get the following "code" instead of a variable: function (title, width, height, pointsize, family, fontsmooth, antialias, type, file = NULL, bg, canvas, dpi) { new <- list() if (!missing(title)) new$title <- title if (!missing(width)) new$width <- width if (!missing(height)) new$height <- height if (!missing(pointsize)) new$pointsize <- pointsize if (!missing(family)) new$family <- family if (!missing(fontsmooth)) new$fontsmooth <- fontsmooth if (!missing(antialias)) new$antialias <- antialias if (!missing(bg)) new$bg <- bg if (!missing(canvas)) new$canvas <- canvas if (!missing(type)) new$type <- type if (!missing(dpi)) new$dpi <- dpi if (!checkIntFormat(new$title)) stop("invalid 'title'") if (!is.null(file) && !checkIntFormat(file)) stop("invalid 'file'") d <- check.options(new, name.opt = ".quartz.Options", envir = .Quartzenv) .External(CQuartz, d$type, file, d$width, d$height, d$pointsize, d$family, d$antialias, d$fontsmooth, d$title, d$bg, d$canvas, if is.na(d$dpi)) NULL else d$dpi) invisible() } <environment: namespace:grdevices=""> Of course, option("device") returns the same message, although the rest of the options() are fine. And I can of course open x11() and quartz() graphics windows without any problem Can someone explain why I have not the right answer?

from the manual page for getOption: 'device': a character string giving the name of a function, or the function object itself, which when called creates a new graphics device of the default type for that session. The value of this option defaults to the normal screen device (e.g., 'X11', 'windows' or 'quartz') for an interactive session, and 'pdf' in batch use or if a screen is not available. If set to the name of a device, the device is looked for first from the global environment (that is down the usual search path) and then in the 'grDevices' namespace. The default values in interactive and non-interactive sessions are configurable via environment variables 'R_INTERACTIVE_DEVICE' and 'R_DEFAULT_DEVICE' respectively. note -- 'or the function object itself' what exactly is the problem? 2009/5/18 "M.
