[R] PGF Device

[baptiste auguie]

If one was to implement a Tikz output for R graphics, I'm not sure  
what route to take:

1) focus exclusively on Grid graphics and implement a conversion at  
the R level à la gridSVG (see Paul Murrell's webpage)

2) create a new device ( I have no idea where to find guidelines for  
this, and I'm not even clear on what exactly a "Device" is).

In any case, given that pdf is often the preferred output for R  
graphics (e.g. through the Sweave route), it seems that the pgf format  
would be an excellent addition if only for its perfect handling of  
LaTeX formulas.

Best wishes,

baptiste
