You can try something like: >a <- 1:5 >b <- 6:10 >d <- 3:7
>example <- function(x,y, z, ..., plot.dots, points.dots){ plot.list <- list(x=x,y=y) plot.list <- c(plot.list,list(...), as.list(plot.dots)) do.call(plot, plot.list) points.list <- list(x=x,y=z) points.list <- c(points.list, list(...), as.list(points.dots) ) do.call(points, points.list) } >example(a,b,d, pch=0, plot.dots=list(cex=2), points.dots=list(col='green')) Hope this helps, -- Gregory (Greg) L.
