Dear Dr. Revell,

I tried par(fg="green") and it kind of worked. It changed the curved
labels and their associated text to a color, but it only changed the
outline of the dots denoting marked nodes. Additionally, if I tried to
input a vector of colors equal to my number of groups (e.g.,
par(fg=c("red","green","blue","cyan","orange")), I get the error ""fg1" is
not a graphical parameter".

The same results are produced if I try par(col="green"). The command
par(col.lab="green") just turns the entire background of the figure green.
I also tried part(fill="green"), but got the warning message "In par(fill =
"green") : "fill" is not a graphical parameter". The command
par(bg="green') does nothing.

Sincerely,
Russell
