R help - Dec 2008 - Changing 'record' option in open graphics device

Hi,

 

I am wondering if there is a way to change the value of the "record"
option
in a graphics device that is already open (and accepts this option).  I
don''t want to open a new device with, for example
"dev.new(record=T)", but
just want to change the settings of the current device.  This can be done by
pointing and clicking on the "history" tab of a graphics device in
windows,
but I would like to do this in a script.

 

Best regards,

 

Andy

1) AFAIK only one device, windows(), accepts this.
2) That device has no way to do this from R code.

PLEASE do: double-spaced text is unfriendly and is undoubtedly caused by 
sending HTML when asked not to.
