Graphics error since intalling R 4.1.0

RStudio IDE

Since upgrading to R 4.1.0 I get the following problem when trying to plot using either base or ggplot graphics in RStudio 1.4.1106.

dta <- data.frame(x = 1:5, y = 1:5)
> plot(dta$x, dta$y)
Error in (function (filename = "Rplot%03d.png", width = 480, height = 480,  : 
  Graphics API version mismatch
Error in RStudioGD() : 
  Shadow graphics device error: r error 4 (R code execution error)

It works fine in Rgui. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling RStudio, but it has no effect.

Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks,
David

Ah, thank you, hadn't noticed that.

Oh, spoke too soon. I've installed the Preview version (1.4.1712) but still get the same error.

As the R 4.1.0 release notes state:

The graphics engine version, R_GE_version , has been bumped to 14 and so packages that provide graphics devices should be reinstalled.

I don't known what graphics device you're using here, but I guess it's some ragg device. If true, simply reinstall ragg and the error should be gone:

install.packages("ragg")
