Dear all,
the second paragraph on the value returned by par() on the help page
of par says:
When just one parameter is queried, the value is a character
string. When two or more parameters are queried, the result is a
list of character strings, with the list names giving the
parameters.
But this does not seem to be correct:
> par("lty", "ask", "lwd", "oma")
$lty
[1] "solid"
$ask
[1] FALSE
$lwd
[1] 1
$oma
[1] 0 0 0 0
Only the first one is a character string, the other ones are a
logical, a number and a vector of numbers, respectively. Should it
rather be something like (also in view of the next sentence):
When just one parameter is queried, the value of that parameter
is returned as a vector. When two or more parameters are
queried, their values are returned in a list, with the list names
giving the parameters.
Cheers,
Berwin
