Re: [R] Problem with axes in a plot of Kaplan-Meier
After changing involuntarily some of the graphics parameters with the command par() (I did not know that changes with this command are permanent), now when I made a plot of the survival Kaplan-Meier function, the Y axis does not start at 1, and the X axis does starts at 0. The commands that I use are: - Par command are cumulative PER graphics device. Your unfortunate par commands would not affect a new plot with pdf() for instance. I often resort to the simple solution of dev.off() #close the current window x11() # start a new one (If not on Unix replace x11 with the appropriate command for your system). David's solution is the more elegant one.

[R] Problem with axes in a plot of Kaplan-Meier
Helo: After changing involuntarily some of the graphics parameters with the command par() (I did not know that changes with this command are permanent), now when I made a plot of the survival Kaplan-Meier function, the Y axis does not start at 1, and the X axis does starts at 0. The commands that I use are: library(survival) BROWN.SPV = Surv(BROWN$TEMPS, BROWN$DEF) BROWN.KM = survfit(BROWN.SPV ~ 1) plot(BROWN.KM$time, BROWN.KM$surv, type=s) How can I restore previous graphics parameters? Is there a file that would delete to restore the initial settings (already use R in debian squeeze)? Thanks a lot.

My idea is to add this line to your .Rprofile: myopar - par() Then you can restore in the future with par(myopar) (This is untested and at times I fall on my face with initialization assumptions. If the graphics package is not loaded at the time .Rprofile is interpreted you might need to run require(graphics) before that command.) The usual practice in a console session (if you remember to do this) is: opar -par(new-par-specs) plot-commands par(opar) And you should instead be using on.exit if you are writing functions to do this.
