I notice that PostScript files include a "%%%Creator: R Software" line, but do R graphics drivers encode any identifying information in GIF or PNG files more commonly used on the web? And of so, would such evidence necessarily be obliterated in post-processing (e.g

REvolution Computing has just released three new packages for R to CRAN (under the open-source Apache 2.0 license): foreach, iterators, and doMC. Together, they provide a simple, scalable parallel computing framework for R that lets you take advantage of your multicore or multiprocessor workstation to program loops that run faster than traditional loops in R. The three packages build on each
