R help - May 2005 - Graphics file to disk

Dear All,
 
I have some code that works in S-Plus for writing saving a graphics file to disk
:-
 
graphsheet(type = "auto", format = "WMF", file =
"G:\\north0l.wmf",
     pages = "auto", print.background = F,
     orientation="landscape",
     color.style="color")
 
plot(x,y)

dev.off()
 
This works fine in S-Plus.
 
I have tried playing with the 'windows' command in `R' with out
success.  I would be grateful for any pointers in the right direction
 
Many thanks in advance
 
Guy

Hi Guy

Try savePlot("MyPlot", "bmp").

Cheers

Francisco

PS: Hang in there! In the long run the effort to move from S-Plus to R is 
definitively worthy!
