Have a look at ?points for some discussion of pch values. Some values are undefined. Try something like mm <- matrix(1:128, nrow= 4) matplot(mm, pch=1:128) to get some idea of what symbols are available. > > Do you know how to plot very small dots? > pch=20 makes dots that are too big for my plot. matplot(mm, pch=20, cex=.5) > Is there a possibility to have more detailed control on the > symbols? __________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
