             F-statistic: 4.651 on 1 and 2 DF,  p-value: 0.1638
 
         In the notebook, plots are published as the output of the cell.
 
         %R plot(X, Y)
 
         will create a scatter plot of X bs Y.
 
         If cell is not None and line has some R code, it is prepended to
         the R code in cell.
 
         Objects can be passed back and forth between rpy2 and python via the -i -o flags in line::

             In [17]: W
             Out[17]: array([  5.,  20.,  25.,  50.])
 
         The return value is determined by these rules:
 
         * If the cell is not None, the magic returns None.
 
         * If the cell evaluates as False, the resulting value is returned
         unless the final line prints something to the console, in
         which case None is returned.
 
         * If the final line results in a NULL value when evaluated
         by rpy2, then None is returned.
