_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Functions to save the current plot in an R variable, and to replay
     it.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     recordPlot()
     replayPlot(x)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       x: A saved plot.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     These functions record and replay the displaylist of the current
     graphics device.  The returned object is of class
     '"recordedplot"', and 'replayPlot' acts as a 'print' method for
     that class.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     'recordPlot' returns an object of class '"recordedplot"'.

     'replayPlot' has no return value.

_W_a_r_n_i_n_g:

     The format of recorded plots may change between R versions.
     Recorded plots should *not* be used as a permanent storage format
     for R plots.

     R will always attempt to replay a recorded plot, but if the plot
     was  recorded with a different R version then bad things may
     happen.
