[R] MetaPost device?

[Vidhyanath Rao]

I would like to know if a MetaPost device is available or in the plans.
A search MetaPost in the documents and list archives did not turn up
anything. [I would prefer to use MetaPost when the graphics is to be
included in a document that I want in both hard-copy and in pdf
formats.]

If not, how easy/hard is it to add a new device to R? I caouln't see
anything about adding devices in the extentions manual. Do I need to
know R internals in detail? An alternative approach would be to take
plotting information and produce MetaPost output via, say, Perl. But I
don't know how get the information printed out either.

Thanks for any help
Nath
