[Rd] inconsistency/bug in recordPlot/replayPlot

2013-09-13 Thread Gabriel Becker
Hey all, I've run accross what seems to be a bug in the recordPlot/replayPlot functionality (or at least the lack of a feature which seems pretty reasonable to expect to be there) When drawing to a file-based graphics device (I tested with png()), the file resulting from calling replayPlot on a r
