R help - Mar 2013 - Generating 1-bit and 8-bit BMP files using R

Hi,

I'm trying to use the data which I generate within R to make images in .bmp
format to be lateron printed by a printer.

My first thought was the RImageJ package, but this seems to be discontinued.
What I am currently doing is generating a matrix of grey values, which needs to
be parsed into the right image format. Is anyone aware of a package or rather
"easy" way to generate these images using R?

Many thanks,

Ingo

Sorry to hear this about RImageJ.  I did find that old versions are 
still available in the repository archive: 
http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/RImageJ/

Some of the capabilities you might be looking for are available in 
EBImage on Bioconductor, but I don't remember specifically whether the 
.bmp format was supported.
