[R] serialized plot object (2 years later)

[Jack Tanner]

About 2 years ago, Tobias Verbeke asked:

"I am looking for a way to capture the binary string that in normal use of graphics devices will bewritten to (most commonly) a file connection... Is there a way of capturing the binary `jpeg string'
[generated by jpeg()]?"

http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e2/devel/07/09/4276.html

Brian Ripley's answer was "Nope, unfortunately, they write to files not connections and no R object 
is involved."

Is this still the case?
