Hi,

I don't know the answer but here is how I would try to get it from the source:

$ cd  R-devel/src
$ grep -R "R Software" *
Binary file library/grDevices/src/grDevices.so matches
library/grDevices/src/devPS.c:    fprintf(fp, "%%%%Creator: R Software\n");
Binary file library/grDevices/src/devPS.o matches

$ wc library/grDevices/src/*.c
  426   1928  10606 library/grDevices/src/chull.c
  195    658   5395 library/grDevices/src/devNull.c
  775   2771  24480 library/grDevices/src/devPicTeX.c
 7592  26813 212324 library/grDevices/src/devPS.c
 1375   5342  48939 library/grDevices/src/devQuartz.c
 3401  12322 100782 library/grDevices/src/devWindows.c
   75    273   2113 library/grDevices/src/init.c
  189    807   7436 library/grDevices/src/qdBitmap.c
  165    646   5416 library/grDevices/src/qdPDF.c
14193  51560 417491 total

Somewhere in the 14193 lines of code is your answer. Probably also worth looking in the modules/X11/ and unix directories

Oftentimes, I see graphs on the web that *look* like they've been
produced by R, but I can never be sure.  Or can I?  I notice that
PostScript files include a "%%%Creator: R Software" line, but do R
graphics drivers encode any identifying information in GIF or PNG
files more commonly used on the web?  And of so, would such evidence
necessarily be obliterated in post-processing (e.g cropping)?

I'm trying to do an informal survey of R's use to create statistical
graphics on the web, and if there's a way to identify graph files I
see as coming from R it would help a lot.

Thanks,
