Dear list,

Using serialize it is possible to save
the binary string representing an R
object to a raw R vector.

## adapted from ?serialize
x <- serialize(list(1,2,3), NULL)
x

I am looking for a way to capture
the binary string that in normal
use of graphics devices will be
written to (most commonly) a file
connection.

jpeg(file = "test.jpg")
   plot(1:10)
dev.off()

In other words, is there a way of
capturing the binary `jpeg string'
representing the plot(1:10) graph,
e.g. into a raw vector ?

Many thanks in advance,
Tobias
