Re: [R] faster image display? Hi, You could try the RGtk2 package using the GtkImage widget. Like this: library(RGtk2) win <- gtkWindow() image <- gtkImage(filename="foo.jpg") win$add(image) Should be fast... if you need to draw R graphics on top of the image, you'd need to do something a bit different and more complicated (draw R graphics to a pixmap using cairoDevice and then superimpose the pixmap onto the image in the expose handler for a GtkDrawingArea). Hope this helps, Michael On 4/20/07, Issac Trotts  wrote: > > Does someone here know of a way to display images in R that isn't slow? > Here are the things I've tried so far: > > library(rimage) > i<-read.jpeg('foo.jpg') > plot(i)  # very slow > > library(pixmap) > i <- read.pnm('foo.pnm') > plot(i) # also slow > > chans <- getChannels(i) > image(chans[,,1]) # this is slow too > > I also tried using library(cairoDevice) but it only makes everything look > beautiful without making the images fast. > >         [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide > http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. > 	[[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
