Package R.devices

Functions for creating plots and image files in a unified way regardless of output format (EPS, PDF, PNG, SVG, TIFF, WMF, etc.). Default device options as well as scales and aspect ratios are controlled in a uniform way across all device types. Switching output format requires minimal changes in code. This package is ideal for large-scale batch processing, because it will never leave open graphics devices or incomplete image files behind, even on errors or user interrupts.

To get started

• Vignette 'R.devices overview'

• toEPS(), toPDF(), toPNG(), ... - evaluate graphics code and atomically save plot to a figure file.
