grafic interface - monocle

Hi! I am trying to use Monocle (R) in order to study trajectories of my dataset I have some issues with the function "order_cell" because I am working on the server (I log in with putty), and I do not have any grafic interface (that is required by this function) In particular I got the following message: "Error in utils::browseURL(appUrl) : 'browser' must be a non-empty character string" I have a Windows pc Could someone help me?

Please show the code you are running. I am almost sure this has nothing to do with any graphical interface.

If you want to take advantage of interactive features, it would be easier to run it locally, not on a remote server.

I downloaded Xming on my computer.

Using Putty, I specified "ssh - X11 - Enable X11 forwarding". If,for example, I wrote "gedit", I got:

Unable to init server

(gedit:26230): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

Try a bit of code like this:

pdf("\my_path\my_picture.pdf")
whatever_graphing_function(whatever_input)
dev.off()

This should make the graphic into a pdf you can look at.
