How about the following:

plot(1:11, col=1:11, cex=2, lwd=4)
plot(1:4, col=c("red","green",'blue', 'orange'), cex=2, lwd=4)

hope this helps. spencer graves

As an absolute beginner, still reading  "Modern Applied Statistics with S" and 
exercising with its examples, I'm frequently stopped by what it looks to be R poor help system 
(or is it my gigantic ignorance?). I mean that using help many arguments of a command seems to 
be given for granted like for instance:
...............................
?lines
lines(x, ...)

    ## Default S3 method:
    lines(x, y = NULL, type = "l", col = par("col"),
          lty = par("lty"), ...)

Arguments:

x, y: coordinate vectors of points to join.

   type: character indicating the type of plotting; actually any of
         the 'type's as in 'plot'.

    col: color to use. This can be vector of length greater than one,
         but only the first value will be used.

lty: line type to use.

    ...: Further graphical parameters (see 'par') may also be supplied
         as arguments, particularly, line type, 'lty' and line width,
         'lwd'.
................................

How could I quickly know during an R-session what values should be "col" set to have red, how could I set "lty" etc.?
