Rstudio crashed on iOS saving plots into tiff format
Closed this issue · 6 comments
This issue first occured when I tried to make plots from Seurat package. A detailed description can be found through this issue.
Briefly, using ggsave or save_plot to save ggplots with tiff device instantly caused crash of Rstudio. If the ggplot is generated with plain ggplot() functions, it won't cause any crash. Crash only happens when cowplot was involved.
Saving to other devices (i.e. svg, eps, jpeg, png) does not trigger the crash.
This only occured on iOS (Catalina 10.15.7). Swithing to Ubuntu everything worked fine.
I've got the very same problem on Windows 10.
Edit: Not RStudio itself crashes, but the R session aborts with a fatal error.

Ok, thanks! Will not use tiff.
@wibeasley 's suggestion of using grDevice::tiff as a workaround worked!
Workaround: Don't use tiff.
Normally we don't, but the publisher had a strong preference.

You could always save to png and then convert using some other software. grDevices::tiff() is fine in principle, but it doesn't have as much support for more advanced features, in particular system fonts, so we're generally recommending the agg devices as default. It's unfortunate that agg_tiff() crashes.
