As a result of another thread here, I need to be sure that the function par(bg='white') has executed before I create a plot. The simplest thing seemed to put it in .Rprofile:
.First <- function() { options(width=150) par(bg='white') } But now R complains at startup: Error in .First() : couldn't find function "par" I have confirmed that once R has started, I can type "par(bg='white')" and R no longer complains. ISwR has a nice little section on "Using par", but there's no hint that something like this can go wrong :-( So what am I not understanding this time? ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
