* Package name : r-cran-cairo Version : 1.5-9 Upstream Author : Simon Urbanek <simon.urba...@r-project.org> * URL : http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Cairo * License : GPL Programming Lang: GNU R Description : GNU R graphics device using cairo graphics library GNUR R graphics device using cairo graphics library for creating high- quality bitmap (PNG, JPEG, TIFF), vector (PDF, SVG, PostScript) and display (X11 and Win32) output . Cairo graphics device that can be use to create high-quality vector (PDF, PostScript and SVG) and bitmap output (PNG,JPEG,TIFF), and high- quality rendering in displays (X11 and Win32). Since it uses the same back-end for all output, copying across formats is WYSIWYG. Files are created without the dependence on X11 or other external programs. This device supports alpha channel (semi-transparent drawing) and resulting images can contain transparent and semi-transparent regions. It is ideal for use in server environments (file output) and as a replacement for other devices that don't have Cairo's capabilities such as alpha support or anti-aliasing. Backends are modular such that any subset of backends is supported. Remark: This package will be maintained by the Debian Med team at svn://anonscm.debian.org/debian-med/trunk/packages/R/r-cran-cairo/
