R Error: Error in plot.new()

[DanC]

Issue

When running custom code from the R tool, the followingR as shown below: Error in plot.new()

Error in plot.new()

Cause

This error may occur when using the AlteryxGraph device. The reason for this is that the AlteryxGraph device creates a pipe between Alteryx and R. If creating graphs in a loop, a pipe has to be created for each loop which slows down the processing. As a result, Alteryx ends up trying to create the next graph before the previous one is completed. To avoid this, it is best practice when creating multiple graphs within a loop to keep the AlteryxGraph device statement outside of the loop.

Solution

Below is some R coding that demonstrates the cause and resolution.

AlteryxGraph inside the loop - Results in error:

AlteryxGraph outside the loop - Does noterror:

A big thanks to @DrDanfor his explanationand code samples.

@DrDan, and @DanC

I have the following error while running the Model Comparison workflow (link: https://gallery.alteryx.com/#!app/Model-Comparison/56bbd3013df7da08b8fcd00a)

Note: i am using Alteryx in VirtualBox VM (Windows 10) in a Mac machine. Also, I am using Alteryx 10.6.

Please help. Thank you!
