Assume I want to put this into a function, how do I redefine the margins
to fit better.
I did par(mar=c(4.1,4.1,5.1,2.1) inside the function, but then it is not
possible anymore to change them, I just want to change the default for
this plotting function, how ?
You can save the old par values and restore them
after creating your plot.
# reset par values, saving the old ones
oldpar = par(mar=c(4.1,4.1,5.1,2.1))
# create stunning customized plot here
# restore the old par values
par(oldpar)
When embedding this in a function like yours it is better
to use the on.exit() function to restore the old values.
f = function(...) {
oldpar = par(mar=c(4.1,4.1,5.1,2.1))
on.exit(par(oldpar))
# create stunning customized plot here
}
Error exits from the function will then also restore the old
par values.
