This report discusses how to work with
complex SVG images in R. We look at importing an external SVG image
into R with the
'grImport2' package, integrating the imported image with other R
graphics, such as plots, and exporting the result to
an external SVG image with the 'gridSVG'
package. We discuss some of the complications that can arise
with this workflow
and show that Version 0.2-0 of the 'grImport2' package helps to deal with
those complications.
