I prefer to set pch and friends outside the panel function to avoid clutter, and to set the parameters globally, thus forcing my plots to be similar. This is a matter of taste, though. On Windows, the key looks a bit ugly now. Group 1 o ---- Group 2 o----- I am not very happy that the lwd is not honored by the key. Lines in lwd 2 (plot) and in lwd 1 (default key) do have a quite different subjective color hue. Any way around this, Deepayan? (Besides using ggplot2, as Hadley would argue ??)
