Cairo is a graphics device for R which uses the cairo graphics library to provide high-quality output in various formats including bitmap (PNG, JPEG, TIFF), vector (PDF, PostScript, SVG) and on-screen (X11, Windows). It supports alpha-blending (semi-transparent painting), anti-aliasing and font embedding. Since the same engine is used for rendering on-screen and off-screen, is possible to create output WYSIWYG-like output. In addition, it has capabilities to track versions of the device content and provide custom locator function, making it ideal for interactive and Web-based systems such as RCloud.
