If one was to implement a Tikz output for R graphics, I'm not sure what route to take:

1) focus exclusively on Grid graphics and implement a conversion at the R level à la gridSVG (see Paul Murrell's webpage)

2) create a new device ( I have no idea where to find guidelines for this, and I'm not even clear on what exactly a "Device" is).

In any case, given that pdf is often the preferred output for R graphics (e.g. through the Sweave route), it seems that the pgf format would be an excellent addition if only for its perfect handling of LaTeX formulas.

Best wishes,

baptiste

Right, but eps2pgf fails me on more complex / stacked plots. Otherwise,
I would be content using eps2pgf.

Same for me; pgf/tikz is my method of choice for graphics in latex
because it gets around the eps-detour that can cause strange problems.
