I think I have the solution to the problem
experienced by users of 'spatstat' on Windows machines,
who are finding that plot.im() gives empty colour images.
Short answer: set useRaster=FALSE in the call to plot.im.
Long answer:
spatstat::plot.im calls graphics::image.default with the argument
'useRaster=TRUE' by default.
When useRaster=TRUE, the image is displayed by the function rasterImage from
the graphics package.
This is done to improve behaviour on *some* Windows systems.
But, for unknown reasons, this does not work on Windows Server and on a few
versions of Windows XP.
On those systems you may need to set useRaster=FALSE to get a plot.
The likely reason is on ?image.
limitations on the size of a raster image. (Problems with the
rendering of raster images have been reported by users of
‘windows()’ devices under Remote Desktop, at least under its
default settings.)
People using Windows Server are almost certainly using Remote Desktop to
access it. The cause is some Windows GDI bug with low colour depths
(which Remote Desktop reduces by default). If people are seeing it on a
local screen, ensure that the display is set to 24- or 32-bit colours.
