[BioC] Limma - plotMA3by2 & imageplot3by2 - as -pdf?

[Gordon Smyth]

Dear Jakob,

The intention of these functions is that the png 
files they produce will be imported into Word 
processing or type-setting software which can 
then write a pdf including a complete report. 
pdfLaTeX does a very elegant job of this, but even MS-Word will do it.

In principle, the functions could be modified to 
use the pdf() device driver to write one big pdf 
file, but the resulting file would be huge, much 
larger than the sum of the png files, and not easily incorporated in reports.

Best wishes
Gordon
