Is it possible to embed an R graphics device (say, X11) in the Sage notebook rather than having it appear in a new window? I'm designing an interactive where this would be useful.
The answer seems to be the png device: see the accepted answer of this question.
Example:
sage: r.X11() # pc-only
sage: r.quartz() # mac-only
sage: r.hist("rnorm(100)") # place your plot here
sage: r.locator(1) # example of interactivity: locate mouse "data" coordinatesGreat answer - which I should have been totally aware of. I didn't think of this as a device, was thinking of the popup devices...
Kudos to Mike Hansen!
Makes sense, but I want an R graphics device in order to use its clickable functionality (locate the cursor by clicking on the screen).
I didn't know this would work - awesome! Just as an FYI to future readers of this... you *do* have to presumably have x11 support compiled in, which we have turned off by default on Mac, so this may not work there; instead, embedding the "quartz" device should work.

Probably in principle, but it would take a significant amount of work, and would only work locally, presumably? You may find RStudio more congenial for your needs - it's a great product, and Affero GPL!
That won't help, as what I really want is to have an R graphics device as part of a Sage interactive. Sorry; guess I should have said so in the original question.
