         device = dev.cur(),
         restoreConsole = TRUE)
}
\arguments{
  \item{filename}{The filename under which to save the plot, without
    the extension.}
  \item{type}{The type of plot, Windows metafile, PNG, JPEG, BMP
    (Windows bitmap format), PostScript or PDF.}

\description{
  Saves the current plot on a \code{windows} device to a file.
}
\details{
  This is equivalent to selecting the \sQuote{Save as} menu item on the
  \sQuote{File} menu of a \code{\link{windows}} device.

  Using \code{filename} as \code{"clipboard"} or \code{""} with
  \code{type = "wmf"} will copy to the clipboard.

  Types \code{"eps"} and \code{"ps"} are the same thing apart from the
  extension.  Similarly \code{"wmf"}/\code{"emf"} and
  \code{"jpeg"}/\code{"jpg"}.
}
\value{
  None, but a plot file will be created.
}
