LoadGraphicsPar: Load graphical parameters.

In thomas-muench/tmlibr: My Personal R Library of Miscellaneous Auxiliary Functions.

Description

This function returns a list of the graphical parameters specified as its function arguments, which can then be set via a call to par. Default function parameters are my default plotting parameters; different or additional parameters can be specified via .... This wrapper function provides a convenient way to set new graphical parameters and save their old values for later restoring at the same time; see the example. See ?par for information on the individual parameters.

Usage

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

Value

A list of graphical parameters to be used with par(); i.e. per default:

• mar = c(5, 5, 0.5, 0.5)

• lwd = 1

• las = 1

• font.lab = 1

• font.axis = 1

• cex.main = 1.5

• cex.lab = 1.5

• cex.axis = 1.25
