In the development version of R (to be R 3.3.0), it is possible again to save the result of recordPlot() from one R session and then load it and replay it, with replayPlot(), in a different R session. This recording and replaying of R plots across R sessions has also been made safer, with more warnings and errors in place to protect against incompatibilities between R versions, and it has been made better, with support for reloading packages along with a “recordedplot”, and with support for reproducing the ‘grid’ display list when redrawing a “recordedplot” that contains ‘grid’ output.
