[R] print Text on device

[Praveen Kanakamedala]

Have you looked into using the xtable package? Xtable supports text but
not graphics. The xtable package creates a LaTEX file after which you
can use Sweave to create a PDF.  The other method that has been sugested
before is to use R2HTML and create a HTML file rather than a PDF.
R2HTML supports both text and graphics.
