**HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL WIP - DOES NOT WORK**

In order for R to produce graphics it must have a device to put the graphics in.
Many of these exists, both window-based (e.g. `X11()`) and file-based (e.g. 
`png()`). While the graphics performance of R is highly dependent on the 
performance of your plotting R code, as well as the underlying base or grid 
graphics code it calls, the speed of the graphics device is also important as it
defines the speed with which the graphic instructions can be executed. `nanodev`
is an attempt to provide a modern, fast, high quality graphic device for R based
on the [NanoVG](https://github.com/memononen/nanovg) C++ library, which provides
an antialiased 2D vector drawing library on top of OpenGL.
