Jupyter/r-notebook instance cannot show base R plot

[karenyyng]

The Jupyter notebook with a R kernel cannot show baseR plots correctly.
The commit tag of the image that I run is be04e27.
This issue exists for the docker imagesJupyter/r-notebook and Jupyter/datascience-notebook for me.

@takluyver Should I open an issue in this repo or in the IRkernel/IRkernel repo?
I can confirm that plotting works for my local installation of Jupyter via Conda on my Macbook air.

I do not see any error messages from the Jupyter kernel within the docker container other than the message plot without title. I appreciate any pointers for debugging and will be happy to help fix the bug.

Hi @karenyyng. This has been a recurring issue tracked in #210. You can see the history of fixes and regressions in there. I haven't had time to play with the image to see what the problem is this time. The last fix required pinning the version of libjpeg. Maybe that pinned version is now causing the problem rather than resolving it.

If you do decide to tackle this, we'll certainly take a PR. Let's continue the conversation in the existing issue.

Thanks @parente for the quick response. I will take a look at #210.
