Cairo: The Cairo Graphics Device

Description

Open an R graphics device based on the Cairo vector graphics library

Usage

Cairo(width = 7, height = 7, pointsize = 10)

Arguments

width

The (initial) width in inches

height

The (initial) height in inches

pointsize

The pointsize of the font

Details

This will open a blank (black) GTK+ window containing a GtkDrawingArea to which R graphics are drawn via the Cairo API. This functions the same as any other R graphics device. You may use the conventional plot commands and expect essentially the same output, except that everything is antialiased (similar to other vector-based devices like Quartz).
