This is in our daily builds now and will also be included in our next

I now see a new argument to dev.new(noRStudioGD = TRUE) however, this relies on Sys.getenv("R_DEFAULT_DEVICE") which is blank for me, so just creates pdf device. Usually not a good choice for animation.

Also, discussion on ​https://github.com/yihui/animation/issues/68

In 14082/statnet_commons:

modified the RStudio hack to use R_DEFAULT_DEVICE to avoid CMD check warning. References #1189
