Dears, I'm having a weird behaviours when setting arguments in functions.
fn <- function(x, st="mean", b=NULL, col.range="black", ...){ dots <- list(...) cat("col.range =", col.range, "\n") cat("dots =\n") print(dots) } fn(1, b=2,col="red") # Output col.range = red dots = list() Why 'col' arguments are not in ellipses, but setting col.range to 'red'? If I change the position of ellipses fn2 <- function(x, ..., st="mean", b=NULL, col.range="black"){ dots <- list(...) cat("col.range =", col.range, "\n") cat("dots =\n") print(dots) } fn2(1, b=2, col="red") # Output col.range = black dots = $col [1] "red" It works! I'm using R version 3.2.2. Best regards!
