R-beta: image S vs. R compatibility

[Zivan Karaman]

Hello!

First of all I would like to thank very much Guido Masarotto for the latest
Win32 version of R. I've installed it painlessly on WinNT 4 Workstation,
and it is loading and running fast. The only problems I've had thus far are
demos 6 to 8 ("recursion", "scoping", and "is.things"), which cause a
memory protection fault.

I've a question regarding the image function, which I use frequently and
for various purposes. Apparently, the S and the R version of the image
function don't behave the same way. I've attached below a function that
under S produces chessboard-like figures, while it produces irregular
pattern with R (never mind different colours in R and S, this is not a
point). Does anybody know how can one obtain the chessboard images (squares
or rectangles of the same size) with R?

Best regards

Zivan


test.image <- function(n)
{
	if(n < 2)
		stop("n must be >= 2")
	pause <- function(msg = 
		"Press <ENTER> to continue...")
	{
		cat(msg)
		readline()
		invisible()
	}
	for(i in 2:n) {
		i1 <- i + 1
		i2 <- i * i
		image(x = 1:i1, y = 1:i1, z = matrix(
			1:i2, ncol = i))
		pause()
	}
	invisible()
}
