Re: [R] axis colours
Thanks a lot. That's what I was looking for. Must have missed the fg bit in the ? par.

[R] axis colours

I'd set par(bg = black, fg = yellow) at first and be happy, but if there is some reason why you want specific things to happen, it might make sense to tell us what exactly you are looking for.
