Hi dear all,

In my laptop(ubuntu 11.10 64bit), I maintained a released R (2.14) and a
developmental R, I can specify qplot(..., alpha = ) in R 2.14 , but when I
try to use transparency in developmental R, I got a warning message and the
plot is clearly not I want.

You have not told us which device this is ....
Assuming it is X11(), most likely you built R-devel without cairographics suppoort.

For more information, see the R-admin list (and the posting guide: this is a topic for the R-devel list, so please follow up there).

minimal example:
qplot(data = mtcars, x = mpg, y = cyl, alpha = cyl)
Warning message:
In grid.Call.graphics(L_points, x$x, x$y, x$pch, x$size) :
   semi-transparency is not supported on this device: reported only once per
page
sessionInfo()
R Under development (unstable) (2012-01-21 r58156)

I have no idea what happened here, because if I miss some important system
dependencies, why it's still working in R 2.14?

Any suggestions or possible solution will be really appreciated. Thanks

Tengfei
