So, on the commandline for R, the equivalent call: ggplot() + geom_boxplot(aes(y = speed), data = cars) plots without a hitch. Now boxplots require calculations of three quartiles, and a couple more calculations to decide on outliers, and this may be a R problem, but this is a 50-observations dataset. Besides, the call inside JGR works with Windows as well as Mac and on Ubuntu 20.04 (per George), but crashes things on Fedora. How do I add the argument to java that you suggest? Where do I do this?
