One way that I do it is to save the default parameters with the following statement in my profile:
assign('Default.par', par(no.readonly=T)) An then I have a function which will reset them: plotReset <- function() { # reset plotting window par(Default.par) windows(width=7.5,height=4.7, record=T, pointsize=10) } On Sun, Jul 13, 2008 at 6:31 PM, Carl Witthoft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I know how to set graphic parameters by calling par(), but what I'd like is > a way to set the default values so that subsequent calls to par() use my > defaults.
