R equivalent of the convenient dev.copy2pdf but for dev.copy2svg?

Question

I found the very convenient dev.copy2pdf command to copy the window I am viewing into a pdf file like so:

plot(rnorm(1000))
dev.copy2pdf(file="myfile.pdf")

And my question: is there an equivalent dev.copy2svg for the same effect but that writes out to svg format?

Answer 1

In fact, dev.copy2pdf is a convenient wrapper around the generic dev.copy function. You can use this one to copy to an SVG device, like this :

plot(rnorm(1000))
dev.copy(svg, file="myfile.svg")
dev.off()
