R help - Oct 2003 - Custom Device

Hi,

Can anyone point in the direction of how to write a custom output device
in R.  I currently generate output using PS and JPEG but need to produce
output in our own vector graphics language.

Thanks in advance,
Arend van der Veen

Look at ...

R/src/include/R_ext/GraphicsDevice.h

... for the in-progress API and ...

R/src/modules/X11/devX11.c

... for a device template to model yourself on.

And if you decide to go ahead with something, keep in touch because this 
stuff will be undergoing changes in the near future.
