graphics support in R help files
I cannot state this with the certainty that others might, but the Rd format is a text format. If you want to produce something else then you need to choose an alternative method. For instance, 1.4 of "Writing R Extensions" notes that "Documents in 'inst/doc' can be in arbitrary format, however we strongly recommend to provide them in PDF format, such that users on all platforms can easily read them."

For example, if I had a .eps plot that I wanted to include in a help file, what would the syntax be to include it in an R help file? If there is graphics support in help files, which format are supported (e.g., gif, png, jpg, eps, ps)? Thanks, -Len Kannapell
