Sink does not send graphs to sink file

I think Sweave and/or odfWeave are the real answer, though. Obviously, a
bigger and more elaborate kettle of fish.

I am using sink() to send the results of my analyses to a text
file. Unfortunately my graphs do not become part of the file.
Is there anyway that I can have both the text and graphic
output of my analyses appear in a file?

Well, how would you expect the graphs to be represented in a text
file? So the short answer is no you can't do that.

Splus used to have (does it still?) an ascii-text based graphics
device. Fine for simple things, I'm not sure how well fancy lattice
graphics would work on it.

 If someone has a few hours to waste, they might be able to build
something similar for R using aalib:
