[R] Make playwith a default graphic device

[Prof Brian Ripley]

You seem to be under the misapprehension that playwith() is a graphics 
device: it is not.

To set a graphics device as the default, use options(device=).  I am not 
sure what 'more functionalities' you are looking for: the playwith() uses 
the cairoDevice package for its graphics device, and there is also the 
Cairo package.
