Hi Bert Gunter and David Winsemius,
sorry for sending my first post to R-help in German and thank you David
for your efforts to translate.
Here are two scripts now. In the first one the graphics parameters
"tcl"
and "las" are not recognized, in the second one they are. Why not in
the
first one?
I am not sure whether I may attach the outputs of the two scripts, I
just try.
Kind regards,
Hans Hau?mann (Haussmann)

In partest-2, you have the line: # par(tcl=0.5,las=1) which is commented out with the '#' and therefore will not be interpreted by R, thus non-functional. In partest-1, the line is: par(tcl=0.5,las=1) where it will be interpreted by R and thus functional. Regards, Marc Schwartz
Hi,
I think it may be the order in which your par() configuration occurs relative to
png(). When you open a new device, as you have with png(), the default par()
values for that device are exposed. If you move your par() statement to *after*
your call to png() you get the result you desire.
S=read.table("Sarrazin-2.5",as.is = default.stringsAsFactors())
#par(tcl=0.5,las=1) # - move to after you open the device
png(file="partest-1.png",width=580,height=580)
par(tcl=0.5,las=1) # - configure the device after opening it
dev.control("enable")
plot(V3,V2,xlab=" ",ylab="BIP, rel. zu Deutschland",
pch=16,xlim=c(630,930),ylim=c(95,135))
dev.off()
See the 'details' section of ?par - "Each device has its own set
of graphical parameters." I take that to mean a new set of parameters are
exposed.
Cheers,
Ben
P.S. I wonder if that sentence might have more value if it read like this,
"Configure each device after opening as each device has its own set of
graphical parameters."

Try instead: S=read.table("Sarrazin-2.5",as.is = default.stringsAsFactors()) # moved this call after the device opening call png(file="partest-2.png",width=580,height=580) par(tcl=0.5,las=1) dev.control("enable") plot(V3,V2,xlab=" ",ylab="BIP, rel. zu Deutschland", pch=16,xlim=c(630,930),ylim=c(95,135)) dev.off() Best; David.> > Kind regards, > > Hans Hau?mann (Haussmann) > <partest-1.txt><partest-2.txt><partest-1.png><partest-2.png>______________________________________________ > R-help at r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.David Winsemius Alameda, CA, USA
