Hi Jack,

About 2 years ago, Tobias Verbeke asked:

"I am looking for a way to capture the binary string that in normal use of 
graphics devices will bewritten to (most commonly) a file connection... Is there a 
way of capturing the binary `jpeg string'
[generated by jpeg()]?"

http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e2/devel/07/09/4276.html

Brian Ripley's answer was "Nope, unfortunately, they write to files not connections and no R object is involved."

Is this still the case?

Yes (assuming your question wasn't a rhetorical question).

I still think it would be a useful feature if graphics devices
could write to connections.

Best,
Tobias

P.S. Your question seems more appropriate for R-devel.
