SetPlotPar: Default plotting parameters

In EarthSystemDiagnostics/proxysnr: Separate Signal and Noise in Climate Proxy Records

Description

This function returns a list of default plotting parameters specified as its function arguments, which can then be set via a call to par. Additional parameters can be specified via .... This wrapper function provides a convenient way to set new graphics parameters and save their old values for later restoring at the same time; see the example.

Usage

SetPlotPar(
  mar = c(5, 5, 0.5, 0.5),
  las = 1,
  cex.main = 1.5,
  cex.lab = 1.5,
  cex.axis = 1.25,
  ...
)

Arguments

mar	a numerical vector of the form ‘c(bottom, left, top, right)’ which gives the number of lines of margin to be specified on the four sides of the plot. The default is c(5, 5, 0.5, 0.5).
las	the style of axis labels; default is to always use horizontal axis labels (note that you then need to manually set las = 0 for the y axis titles when using mtext).
cex.main	the magnification to be used for main titles relative to the current setting of cex; defaults to 1.5.
cex.lab	the magnification to be used for x and y labels relative to the current setting of cex; defaults to 1.5.
cex.axis	the magnification to be used for axis annotation relative to the current setting of cex; defaults to 1.25.
...	further graphical parameter settings passed on to par.

Value

A list of plotting parameters to be used with par().

• mar = c(5, 5, 0.5, 0.5)

• las = 1

• cex.main = 1.5

• cex.lab = 1.5

• cex.axis = 1.25

• ...

Examples

# Default settings
op <- par(proxysnr:::SetPlotPar())
plot(1 : 10, xlab = "X title", ylab = "Y title", type = "l")
par(op)

# Change default line width and increase outer margin
op <- par(proxysnr:::SetPlotPar(lwd = 2, oma = c(2, 2, 2, 2)))
plot(1 : 10, xlab = "X title", ylab = "Y title", type = "l")
