Thanks Michael, I'll look at the code, but trying playwith() gave a few
errors, although the package installed ok:

---<---------------cut here---------------start-------------->---
R> playwith(plot(treering2, xlim=c(0,300)), 
+         time.mode = TRUE,
+         labels = paste(time(treering2), "CE"))
Loading required package: RGtk2
Error in plot.new() : figure margins too large

But I guess I can see how to work with CairoDevice and RGtk2 by looking
at the source.  Thanks.
