}
\arguments{
  \item{orNone}{logical; if \code{TRUE}, the function also returns

    \code{\link{getOption}("device")} is among the interactive devices.}

\details{
  The \code{X11} (Unix), \code{windows} (Windows) and \code{quartz}
  (MacOS X) are regarded as interactive, together with \code{GTK} and
  \code{gnome} (used with the GNOME GUI: \code{GTK} is available in
  package \pkg{gtkDevice} and \code{gnome} is expected to be in a
  package \pkg{gnomeDevice}) and \code{JavaGD} (from the JGR project,
  see \url{http://stats.math.uni-augsburg.de/JGR/}).
