Martin: One simple approach: write your own graphics functions that are simple wrappers to the plot functions you use that set the par() values as you wish. You could even put them in a package that is loaded at startup. See ?Startup
My understanding is that so long as a graphics device remains open, new plots on it will reuse the same par() settings. See,e.g. ?plot.new. Cheers, Bert Bert Gunter "Data is not information.
