Dear R-Package-Devel,
As part of GWSDAT package (https://github.com/waynegitshell/GWSDAT) we support
the option to output plots to a WMF
(https://r-graphics.org/recipe-output-vector-wmf) format if, and only if, the
user is on Windows. However, when I run the package checks on here it complains
about using a platform specific function with the following message:
Found the platform-specific device:
'win.metafile'
dev.new() is the preferred way to open a new device, in the unlikely
event one is needed.
In my opinion this is a false positive - and a similar issue has previously
been reported here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70585796/unable-to-understand-1-note-in-devtoolscheck-caused-by-a-platform-specific-d
Any ideas on how I modify the code and package submission to automatically pass
the checks?
Two suggestions:
* let users specify the graphics device they want
* reading manpage for dev.new() it accepts a bunch of options - there is
probably a way to request the metafile device you want. But I could not
find that in documentation.

Thanks,
Wayne
