Hi Lines behaves as the help() says it does:
plot(0:1,0:1,type="n") lines(runif(11),runif(11),col=c("red","green"), type="h") Mick -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robin Hankin Sent: 28 February 2006 09:31 To: RHelp Subject: [R] lines() and recycled colours Hi ?lines says For 'type = "h"', 'col' can be a vector and will be recycled as needed. Why doesn't lines() recycle colours for other types? If I type > plot(0:1,0:1,type="n") > lines(runif(11),runif(11),col=c("red","green")) > then all ten lines are red, with no warning given. Is there a reason why colour recycling would be a bad idea in this case? Also, it would be nice if arguments such as lwd were recycled if needed too. -- Robin Hankin Uncertainty Analyst National Oceanography Centre, Southampton European Way, Southampton SO14 3ZH, UK tel 023-8059-7743 ______________________________________________ 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 ______________________________________________ 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
