[R] Re: win.metafiles in linux and R

[ucgamdo@ucl.ac.uk]

I posted a similar query some months ago. Some people answered stating that
win.metafiles were not available for R in linux. However, I was suggested
to use the package RSvgDevice, which allows transforming any graphic device
into Scalable Vector Graphics format, this file can then be opened with
sodipodi, and really impresive stuff can be achieved. I also noticed that
OpenOffice for linux has an option to open win.metafiles, so it seems that
they are in theory available for linux!
