Re: [Rd] gpar fill and transparency on devices

2010-08-05 Thread baptiste auguie
Hi, Thanks for pointing this out. I do have the book, unfortunately I left it abroad this year. I would think that such brief mention in ?gpar could be useful (because that's where one first looks for gpar() defaults --- which are not listed). Best regards, baptiste On 6 August 2010 00:54, Pau

2010-08-05 Thread Michael Lachmann
Hi, The following was already a topic on r-help, but after understanding what is going on, I think it fits better in r-devel. The problem is this: When a data.frame has another data.frame in it, rbind doesn't work well. Here is an example: -- > a=data.frame(x=1:10,y=1:10) > b=data.frame(z=1:10)
