jpeg() or bitmap()

R does not support GIF files because of the patent difficulties until
recently (and possibly still, although the US, European and Japanese
patents have expired: http://cloanto.com/users/mcb/19950127giflzw.html)
and a preference for PNG (see png()) which can easily be converted to gifs
if needed.
