Well, this may not be the most elegant, but how about: plotxy <- function(x,data = NULL,...) { mcall <- match.call() if(inherits(x,"formula")) enc <- environment(x) else enc <- parent.frame() if(!is.null(data)){ env <- data mcall <- mcall[-match("data",names(mcall))] } else env <- NULL mcall[[1]] <- plot.default eval(mcall,envir=env,enclos=enc) }
Cheers, Bert P.S. I would welcome more elegant solutions (especially if this one doesn't work right!)
