Arguments

node	the XML node describing the plot and providing information about the format, size, etc. of the desired device
dev	a named list giving the graphics device function and the name giving the format of the device. This is over-ridden by a file attribute on the node.
dir	the directory in which the plot is created, by default
verbose	a logical value indicating whether to emit information on the console about the activities of the function.
dynOpts	the DynamicDocContext object providing the options for the evaluation of the
