R help - Dec 2006 - importing bitmap images to R

All -

I'm creating some plots in R that I would like to overlay on images that 
are created outside of R.

I've used "image" before to plot image-like data within R, and
have added
vector plots on top of them, but I can't find a way to read in an external 
bitmap file into R and use that.

Currently the external files are .png's, but I could generate a few other 
types, if something else might be easier to import.

Thanks,
-Mike

Following the posting guide suggests

 	RSiteSearch("bitmap")

which leads to

This will read/write about 95 image formats into R, all those supported by
ImageMagick and provide many image processing filters. If Windows is your
platform, this version will work on Windows as well (the version release in
Bioconductor 1.9 will not). It is a development version and even though it
shows 1.9.12 now, it is already 1.9.14 on the SVN with many bug fixes. Go
grab it, if using Windows, let me know I will send you a binary if it does
not appear on the bioconductor page -- it takes several days until a new
build.

Best,
Oleg
