Ben,

I have committed something analogous to R-devel (your rotation
code was not unlike mine, I replicated the color handling from
R internals to be consistent, I fixed the drawing limits and
added a check for x/y conformance). Note that useRaster can
only be used when x, y form a regular grid. Although I tried a
lot of corner cases (requiring quite a few fixes), I'm sure I
did not test all of them, so volunteers please give it a go and
compare it with non-raster output.

The only thing I'm not quite happy about is the argument name:
useRaster. Personally, I hate camel case in R (it has crept in
more recently making it horribly inconsistent) so please feel
free to suggest a better name ;).

It.is.spelled.camelCase.

Fortunately not in English ;)

What about style=c("image", "raster")?  This allows for future
extensions too.

Hmm.. it's not really a "style" - the output doesn't change
(ideally) - it's more of a back-end specification .. also we
already have oldstyle argument in image() adding to the confusion
...

flavor=c("image", "raster") renderer=c("image", "raster") 
backend=c("image", "raster") ...
