R Documentation

Record and Replay Plots

Description

Functions to save the current plot in an R variable, and to replay it.

Usage

recordPlot()
replayPlot(x)

Arguments

x	A saved plot.

Details

These functions record and replay the displaylist of the current graphics device. The returned object is of class "recordedplot", and replayPlot acts as a print method for that class.

The format of recorded plots was changed in R 1.4.0: plots saved in earlier versions can still be replayed.

Value

recordPlot returns an object of class "recordedplot", a list with components:

displaylist	The saved display list, as a pairlist.
gpar	The graphics state, as an integer vector.

replayPlot has no return value.
