In the documentation for par() (both on-line and manual) there is an error regarding line type specification (lty). It actually omits a feature. The documentation states that a string up to 8 NON-ZERO hexadecimal digits may be used to specify on/off lengths, i.e. "44" = "dashed". However, lty DOES accept zero: plot(NA, NA, xlim=c(-2,2), ylim=c(-2,2)) abline(h=1, lwd=2, col="black", lty="0880") abline(h=1, lwd=2, col="gray", lty="88") This will produce a plot with a horizontal line that is alternately gray and black. The first number is length "on", then length "off", so that the black line starts with zero length on, then 8 off, then 8 on, then zero off, such that the zeroes effectively swap the "on" and "off" positions. The gray line starts "on" for 8 units then "off" for 8. -Brian Peyser ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
