_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     A graphics device is opened. For `win.graph', `windows', `x11' and
     `X11' this is a graphics window on the current Windows display:
     the multiple names are for compatibility with other systems.
     `win.metafile' prints to a file and `win.print' to the Windows
     print system.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     windows(width = 7, height = 7, pointsize = 12)
     win.graph(width = 7, height = 7, pointsize = 12)
     x11(display = "", width = 7, height = 7, pointsize = 12)
     X11(display = "", width = 7, height = 7, pointsize = 12)
     win.metafile(filename = "", width = 7, height = 7, pointsize = 12)
     win.print(width = 7, height = 7, pointsize = 12)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

 display: indicates the purpose of the device.

filename: the name of the output file: it will be an enhanced Windows
          metafile, usually given extension `.emf' or `.wmf'.

   width: the (nominal) width of the plotting window in inches.

  height: the (nominal) height of the plotting window in inches.

pointsize: the default pointsize of plotted text.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     All these devices are implemented as `windows' devices, the
     `display' parameter selects which is actually used.

     The size of a window is computed from information provided about
     the display: it depends on the system being configured accurately.

     A graphics window is not allowed to be specified at more that 85%
     of the screen width or height: the width and height are rescaled
     proportionally. The window can be resized to a larger size.

     If the `filename' is omitted for a `win.metafile' device, the
     output is copied to the clipboard when the device is closed. A
     `win.metafile' device can only be used for a single page.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     A plot device is opened: nothing is returned to the R interpreter.
