Thanks for the interesting solution. I am happy to find a way to save all graphic options into a file. There is a minor glitch. Is there is any way to replace title, not to overwrite it? And if I want to change the color of a line or the ranges of x or y axis, how can I do it with the restored plot?
Interestingly, there is no mention about dev.control() in the help document of recordPlot(). I think it should be there. Thanks again.
