I've just joined sage-trac-account, requested an account and will post a new 
ticket once I have approval.

As for trellis/lattice packages, this highlights what could be a big problem 
with R, as there are literally thousands of different packages, a good few 
that create plots. If we create a list of pre-approved methods, this risks 
leaving a lot out. (There's some cool kriging stuff I'd like this wrapper to 
support.)

I was considering (for my first code-bash this weekend) ignoring loading, 
and storing *any* non-defined method call to this object and attempting to 
run it in R. It's not secure, but would have the benefit of ensuring that 
any loaded graphic function would run successfully as a method. 
If it's necessary that we have a list of well-defined methods to the 
Rgraphic object, would we be able to escape it using an extra check=False 
argument to the __init__ method.

So a typical session with my object would look like:

R.library("a graphics library")
R.library("another graphics library")

graph1 = Rgraphic(....................., check=False)
graph1.boxplot(...............)
graph1.someotherRfunction(..................)
graph1.somethingelse(..............)
show(graph1)

Still have to sort out how to store the image though. :(
