[R] svglite with multiple files

[Bert Gunter]

Sigh... Per the posting guide (which you have read, right?):

"For questions about functions in standard packages distributed with R (see
the FAQ Add-on packages in R
<http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#Add-on-packages-in-R>), ask
questions on R-help.If the question relates to a *contributed package* ,
e.g., one downloaded from CRAN, try contacting the package maintainer
first. You can also use find("functionname") and
packageDescription("packagename") to find this information. *Only* send
such questions to R-help or R-devel if you get no reply or need further
assistance. This applies to both requests for help and to bug reports. "

This certainly sounds like a question for the svglite maintainer,
?maintainer, who might know about "tricks" that one could use. Though you
might get lucky here -- it's just that you should not expect to. If you
tried to contact the maintainer but received no response, do include that
info in your post.

Cheers,

Bert
