## Methods for creating image files of a specific format

### Description

Methods for creating image files of a specific format.

### Usage

      toBMP(name, ...)
      toPDF(name, ...)
      toPNG(name, ...)
      toSVG(name, ...)
      toTIFF(name, ...)
      toEMF(name, ..., ext="emf")
      toWMF(name, ..., ext="wmf")

      toFavicon(..., name="favicon", ext="png",
                field=getDevOption("favicon", "field", default="htmlscript"))

      toDefault(name, ...)
      toQuartz(name, ...)
      toX11(name, ...)
      toWindows(name, ...)

      toCairoWin(name, ...)
      toCairoX11(name, ...)

### Arguments

`name` | A `character` string specifying the name of the image file.
`...` | Additional arguments passed to `devEval`(), e.g. `tags` and `aspectRatio`.
`ext, field` | Passed to `devEval`().

### Value

Returns by default the `DevEvalProduct`. For `toFavicon()` the default return value is a `character` string.

### Windows Metafile Format

Both `toEMF()` and `toWMF()` use the exact same graphics device (`win.metafile()`) and settings. They only differ by filename exension. The `win.metafile()` device function exists on Windows only; see the grDevices package for more details.

These functions are wrappers for `devEval`(). See `devOptions`() to change the default dimensions for a specific device type.
