Hi Spencer I do not know if library(tikzDevice) or such ilk will be of help - it may depend on what you are doing.

Hi, Jim: Thanks for this. tab.title{plotrix} displays "the title of a plot as a colored tab". It rounds the top two corners but does not allow the user to round the bottom two or draw a box around text anyplace else on the plot. I want a rectangle with rounded corners where I can control the location and size. Sizing the box to text would be a bonus. boxed.labels{plotrix} is closer. However, I'd want to add the following: the * Some way of rounding the corners. This might be like a parameter roundCorner being a number between 0 and 1, with 0 giving square corners and 1 providing a semicircle at the ends textround {diagram} * lwd and col parameters for the box: My immediate application requires large red text in red box with rounded corners and a thick line. Other thoughts? Thanks again, Spencer Graves p.s. If you would like, I could modify "boxed.labels" as just discussed and email you the code. Or I could "Request to join" the plotrix project on R-Forge and modify the help file as well as the code. > Jim > > > -- Spencer Graves, PE, PhD President and Chief Technology Officer Structure Inspection and Monitoring, Inc. 751 Emerson Ct.
