[R] dev.print and X11(canvas =

[Gabor Grothendieck]

Try this:

dev.control(displaylist="enable")
plot(1:4)
identify(1:4) 
# perform some interactions which label points
myplot <- recordPlot()
plot(1:10) # overwrite first plot
myplot
# at this point the original plot is back with your annotations

I know that R is internally maintaining a display list. Is there a way
to access that without dropping into C? And what's in it, anyway?
