Set device for printing #252

Is it possible to specify a device for print statements inside the evaluated function? For instance, so that we can print plots simply with print(plot).

Sure, you can open a device in the function that you are running in the subprocess.

What about printing to a device of the parent process?

gaborcsardi commented 10 months ago

R cannot use a graphics device from another process.
