SVG output on Windows OS

Thank you, David.

Cairo is installed and loaded.
cairoDevice is installed and loaded.
RGtk2 is installed and loaded (which installed GTK+)

yet I still get false for cairo:

capabilities()

    jpeg      png     tiff    tcltk      X11     aqua http/ftp   
sockets
    TRUE     TRUE     TRUE     TRUE    FALSE    FALSE     TRUE      
TRUE
  libxml     fifo   cledit    iconv      NLS  profmem    cairo
    TRUE    FALSE     TRUE     TRUE     TRUE    FALSE    FALSE

Cairo.capabilities()

  png  jpeg  tiff   pdf   svg    ps   x11   win
 TRUE FALSE FALSE  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE FALSE  TRUE

ggsave(file="chart.svg")

Saving 6" x 6" image
Error: 'svg' is not an exported object from 'namespace:grDevices'

I'm lost as to how to produce the svg output on windows. All works  
suitably on Linux.

How may one save a graphic as svg on Windows? The svg() command is

I'm trying to use Hadley Wickam's ggplot2 and I would like to be  
able to
save created charts as svg for later input into Illustrator. I am  
able to
accomplish this workflow under Linux, but I don't know how to get R to
recognize the svg() command under Windows. I have loaded RsvgDevice,  
Cairo,
and cairoDevice in my attempts. The problem seems to me to be directly
related to enabling R to produce svg output on Windows, rather than  
related
to ggplot2.


What does capabilities() return?
