R help - Dec 2008 - display matrix on graphics device

Folks,

Is there a way to print a matrix in tabular form onto the graphics device? 
I want to create a display consisting of graphs and tables,
so that I can do something like:

windows()
opar = par(mfrow = c(3, 2))

library(plotrix)
library(PerformanceAnalytics)

radial.plot(...)
radial.plot(...)
chart.BarVaR(...)
chart.RollingCorrelation(...)

print.matrix.onto.graphics.device(X)

par(opar)

where X is a matrix with named rows and columns.

If this is not easily done, is there any way I can embed graphics and 
tabular data into a PDF?

Thanks,

Murali

Hi Murali,
As you are using the plotrix package, will addtable2plot do what you want?
