The boxplot.default() function ignores argument 'boxfill' passed by user:
x <- rnorm(100)
boxplot(x, boxfill="blue")
boxplot(x, pars=list(boxfill="green"))
As the original creator of the 'boxfill' argument, I'd like to propose the
following change to the if(plot) clause in boxplot.R:
if(plot) {
if(is.null(pars$boxfill) && is.null(args$boxfill))
pars$boxfill <- col
do.call("bxp",
c(list(z, notch=notch, width=width, varwidth=varwidth,
outline=outline, log=log, border=border, pars=pars,
horizontal=horizontal, add=add, at=at), args[namedargs]))
invisible(z)
}
What I've done is (1) setting boxfill=col only when that is desired, (2)
named the 'width' list element to avoid confusion, and (3) rearranged the
list so it has the same order as args(bxp).
Thanks,
Arni
