Sometimes I have very heavy plots in a device in my R session. When, for instance, I change the size of the window where the device is pointing to it gets redrawn quite slowly. Typing Ctrl+C does not seem to kill the plotting task.
Is there a way of "cancelling" or killing a plot in R while it is being drawn?
Edit: I am using Linux and just the normal R shell from a terminal (gnome-terminal usually). Regardless of what system I use I guess there can be many answers covering each system or an integrative answer which shows how to perform this operation on any system.
