RE: [babel] Emitting both text & graphics output

["Mikhail Titov" <mlt@gmx.us>]

I'm just a newbie user of org & babel, but as a workaround I'd split it into
several blocks and use session based work. For instance I have the following
in my dot emacs:

(setq org-babel-default-header-args:R
  '((:results . "output") (:session . "*R*")))

This way I can always see what is going on within ESS in *R* buffer and all
variables are preserved.
