Colleagues I have a lengthy script that calls mtext. Under most circumstances, a graphics device is open and a plot exists, in which case mtext works as expected. However, there are some instances where the graphics device is open but no plot exists. When mtext is called, I receive an error message: Error in mtext(1) : plot.new has not been called yet
The solution is to confirm that: a. the device is open: length(dev.list()) > 0 b. whether plot.new has been called. I need help on the latter - how does one test whether plot.new has been called? Thanks in advance.
