Options for package plutils

Description

Get or set options for package plutils

Usage

ploptions(...)

Arguments

...

option names given as character string, or given as name = value. Alternatively, options can be passed as simplists.

Details

It is possible to set any options - this might be useful for global options of other packages. This can however also be done with the base function options, the only difference is that ploptions returns a simplist, and resolves simplist arguments, but not list arguments.

Currently, only one options is used by package plutils:

`alphamix:`	logical, defaults to `FALSE`. Controls the behaviour of `alphacol`:
	if `alphamix == TRUE`, `alphacol` returns a color with alpha channel.
	Otherwise, the color is an RGB mixed with the background color,
	thus faking alpha mixing.

Value

For ploptions(), a simplist of set options for package plutils; if invoked with names of options, a list of all options contained in the arguments. If called with name = value, no visible result is returned.

Examples

ploptions() 
# add a new option
ploptions(schnurz = "piep")
ploptions()
# save options
oldopt <- ploptions()
# change old option, and add a new one
ploptions(schnurz = pi, a = 5)
ploptions()
# reset old options, and change the new one from the step before
ploptions(oldopt, a = 3)
ploptions()
