I found that interesting, particularly this part:
For example, on Linux do this:
dev.control(displaylist=enable) # enable display list
plot(1:10)
myplot - recordPlot() # load displaylist into variable
save(myplot, file=myplot, ascii=TRUE)
Send the ascii file, myplot, to the Windows machine and on Windows do this:
dev.control(displaylist=enable) # enable display list
load(myplot)
myplot # displays the plot
savePlot(myplot, type=wmf) # saves current plot as wmf
I tried that, but I was never able to load the myplot in the Windows
R. I always got a message about a syntax error to do with ' ' but I
was unable to work out what the problem was. I thought it was because
the transfer to Windows wasn't binary, but that wasn't the problem.
I was unable to get the thread view at that archive to function so I
was unable to see if there were any follow ups which offered an
explanation.
R has changed quite a bit in the years since then, so it might be that
something needs to be done differently with more recent versions.
Has anyone done this recently?

Re: [R] Wiki for Graphics tips for MacOS X
I don't have a Linux system to try it with but
omitting both dev.control statements it worked for me
between two Windows XP sessions on the same
machine using this version of R:
R.version.string # Windows XP
[1] R version 2.4.1 Patched (2006-12-30 r40331)
It also successfully worked with:
R.version.string # Windows XP
[1] R version 2.5.0 Under development (unstable) (2007-01-31 r40623)

Hi Folks, I just finished (the first draft of) a Wiki document to explains options for producing graphics to incorporate in MS Word.
