If \code{FALSE} the result is a matrix of R 20 color names, if \code{TRUE} the output is returned as a 21 \code{nativeRaster} object which is more efficient for plotting, but 22 not portable.} 23} 24\details{ 25 Not all devices support capture of the output as raster bitmaps. 26 Typically, only image-based devices do and even not all of them. 27} 28\value{ 29 \code{NULL} if the device does not support capture, otherwise a 30 matrix of color names (for \code{native = FALSE}) or a 31 \code{nativeRaster} object (for \code{native = TRUE}). 32} 33\keyword{ dplot } 34
