The tools seem to be there already (recordPlot and replayPlot), and it seems mostly a matter of capturing the relevant keypresses etc. I have no idea how hard that would be with the X11 device, but I have added some basic functionality to the Qt based device I've been playing with. You are welcome to try it --- details can be found at http://dsarkar.fhcrc.org/R/R-Qt.html I'm sure doing something similar with the Gtk/Cairo devices wouldn't be too hard (for those who know what they are doing). -Deepayan ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
