Question

Hi,

I tried to make plots (scatterplots, box plots etc) in RStudio, and I got this message:

Error in RStudioGD() : 
  Shadow graphics device error: r error 4 (R code execution error)

Can someone help me, please?

RStudio Version 1.1.383

It appears that your R was built without some basic graphics support.

Thank you for the link. I installed some needed graphics supports (e.g. Cairo) but I still it does not work..

It might be time to consider working with IT staff and/or RStudio. I'm not sure how much more we can help here....
