R help - Sep 2008 - Is there a single command that can revert all the plotting parameters to default?

Hi, all,

This might be a stupid question.  Is there a single command in R that  
can revert parameters to default?  It is much appreciated.

Best wishes,

when you set par(...)
use
op <- par(...)
par(...)

and then when you want to go back
use

par(op)

Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are
so little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and
make us feel like gods. We are mammals, and have not exhausted the
annoying little problems of being mammals.

What do you mean? If you kill the existing graph, perhaps using 
dev.off(), the next plot generated should use default values. Is this 
what you want?

Some plotting functions use this at the start before modifying
   oldpar <- par(no.readonly=T)
   on.exit(par(oldpar))

dev.off() (but stephan's advice is probably the better approach for most
cases).
