[R] X11 & dev2bitmap

[Steve Arthur]

Vadim,

According to:

http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/R/bin/windows/windows-9x/base/CHANGES0

it states ...

"For changes since the release of R 1.0.0 on 29 Feb 2000 see the file
CHANGES"

"Support for GIF format bitmaps has been removed, but support for PNG,JPEG
and BMP has been added. This can be done via the File menu on the graphics
window, savePlot() or dev.print to the new devices png(), bmp() and
jpeg(), which can also be used directly."

not on UNIX.

and 

http://www.azertech.com/ttm/bcb/faq-misc-graphic-formats.htm

states:

Portable Network Graphics Format (PNG)

"The PNG format is probably going to become the most widely used format of
the future. It incorporates all the latest image technologies and is free
of licensing restrictions."

This is the format I will try to get to work in R unless there are any
reasonable objections from the audience.
