[R] thickness of tick marks

2004-09-16 Thread David J. Netherway
Hi,
I am unable to get the tick marks to appear thicker in plot. I have 
tried things like
par(lw=2) but this only seems to affect other line thicknesses.

The use of axes directly fixes the problem because lw = 2 applies to 
both the axis and the ticks.

Is there is  way of feeding a single parameter to plot or setting a par 
parameter to do this?

I am using R 1.9.0 on a windows 2000 platform.
Thanks, David

It is par(lwd)
^
The device's current setting of par(lwd) does not affect that used by 
axis() (as called by some plot methods).  So you have to call axis() 
yourself.  ?axis would have told you the default was 1.

There was a wishlist item on R-bugs (PR#7223) to change this recently, and 
some counter-arguments -- search on the R-devel list archives for more 
details.
