Overview

About

Maintained by ORPHANEDCRAN page ↗

This device uses Cairo and GTK to draw to the screen, file (png, svg, pdf, and ps) or memory (arbitrary GdkDrawable or Cairo context). The screen device may be embedded into RGtk2 interfaces and supports all interactive features of other graphics devices, including getGraphicsEvent().

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/cairoDevice/cairoDevice_2.28.2.2.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "cairoDevice_2.28.2.2.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (2.28.2.2) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
