I wrote about this some time back as this new "feature" has made R
less
convenient for me
since I story many, say 1000 to 1500 diagnostic plots per session.
Georgely Daroczi has a nice
hack in Rapporter//pander which it makes it possible to replay a single
bad plot by hacking the data
structure so as to change an offending part. Not surprisingl.doing this to
all my saved recordedplot objects
produces a corrupt R state online, after all this is why this was removed
i.e. it causes problems. Does somebody know exactly what the
problem is with the current Data Structure so that using it after a load
from the disk can lead to corruption of
R. I would like to work on fixing this if it a fix is possible. Are there
any posts about this? Who would know
about this who might respond?

Some of the functions take different arguments in different R versions. There are likely also different behaviours for the same arguments in other cases. The only real documentation on this is in the source code. A safer strategy to achieve what you want to do is to save the code and data that produced each plot. Then at least if functions change you can edit your saved copy and still get a plot. Duncan Murdoch
