Hi R lovers
2 questions:
1) I'd like to know how to clean the title, the sub title or the labels of
a graph. I know how to redefine it with the function title() but it
overwrites the previous title and do not replace it
2) How could I clear a whole plot (for example in a multiple figure
environment)
thanks for your help
vincent

Dear Vincent, You can't clear a title only. The idea is to plot without one, like plot(...,main="",sub="",xlab="",ylab="") and add the title by hand (as you mentioned). Moreover, AFAIK you can't clear one plot in a multiple figure environment, since you can only clear the graphics device (not the plot), but you can put a new plot onto a specific part of your m.f.e. using par(mfg=c(i,j)) see ?par and "An Introduction to R" for more details. (I have to admit that I am unsure whether that will remove a plot there, or create the new one on top of it - hiding the old one. That matters with respect to dev.copy() I assume.)

Many thanks I don't see any other solution than what you've proposed. I have tried the par(mfg=c(i,j,k,l)) But it overwrites rather than replaces the previous graph take care vincnet |---------+----------------------------> | | th50 at leicester.ac| | | .uk | | | | | | 07/15/03 03:53 PM| | | | |---------+----------------------------> >------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: Vincent STOLIAROFF/fr/socgen at socgen, r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch | | cc: | | Subject: RE: [R] clearing some part of a graph | >------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Dear Vincent, You can't clear a title only.
