in theory, yes, but not currently.

Note that the plot-call may not be in the history at all. The user may well have used a hand-written function (or one form some obscure package) that created the plot. And in fact a single top-level command may produce several totally different plots. An alternative could be to inspect sys.calls() inside plot.new(). Although it may not always be clear, just which call best describes the plot. Also of course, there's the problem that not all plots are created with plot.new(), again. Still I would think this will probably be a more reliable method. > Again, this is just an idea. What do yo think? Will it work? Well, I'm not opposed against experimenting with this. But also, personally, I'm pretty happy with the current title-extraction, so I'd give this very low priority. Definitely not something to worry about before everything else working. Regards Thomas
