Cairo.capture

device number or an object of the class <code>Cairo</code> (as
    obtained from the <code><a href="/link/Cairo?package=Cairo&version=1.5-6" rd-options="" data-mini-rdoc="Cairo::Cairo">Cairo</a></code> function).

device

<code>Cairo.capture</code> is essentially the same as
  <code>dev.capture(native=TRUE)</code> with the exception that it works where
  <code>dev.capture</code> doesn't such as <code>onSave</code> callbacks.

This package provides a Cairo graphics device that can be use to create high-quality vector (PDF, PostScript and SVG) and bitmap output (PNG,JPEG,TIFF), and high-quality rendering in displays (X11 and Win32). Since it uses the same back-end for all output, copying across formats is WYSIWYG. Files are created without the dependence on X11 or other external programs. This device supports alpha channel (semi-transparent drawing) and resulting images can contain transparent and semi-transparent regions. It is ideal for use in server environments (file output) and as a replacement for other devices that don't have Cairo's capabilities such as alpha support or anti-aliasing. Backends are modular such that any subset of backends is supported.
