I have plots that were stored using recordPlot() in a fairly recent
but pre-1.6.0 version of R that will not replayPlot() in R 1.6.0. The
error message is
Error in replayPlot(x) : invalid hex digit in color or lty
The plots were stored in June (2002-6-14), each as an element of a
list named 'rpl'. The version of R that was current then is what I
used. At that time I was able to re-display them.
Today, in R 1.6.0, when I try to re-display them, I get an error
message:> rpl[[1]]
Error in replayPlot(x) : invalid hex digit in color or lty
The plots did have lines with col='blue' and lty=2 in them. This
little snippet of code executed today works
> plot(1:5)
> lines(1:5,col='blue',lty=2)
> tmp <- recordPlot()
> tmp
so there doesn't seem to be a problem if I work entirely within
v1.6.0. Which suggests that the problem is in going from one version
to the next.

So it is really of interest a) to get a reproducable example and/or b) to know what "fairly recent" means.
