Responding to my own post, after some hacking: To fix the behavior of the following test code (the rect()s inherit the lty set by the previous abline())-- x _ (1:100)/10 plot(x,sin(x)) abline(h=0,lty=2,col="red") rect(1,0,2,0.5) abline(v=2) rect(3,0,4,0.5) Here are some diffs (now all I have to do is wade through and get lwd working properly ...) *** devX11.c.orig Tue Jul 29 16:44:19 1997 --- devX11.c Tue Jul 29 16:57:55 1997 *************** *** 671,676 **** --- 671,677 ---- } if (fg != NA_INTEGER) { SetColor(fg); + SetLinetype(GP->lty); XDrawRectangle(display, window, wgc, (int)x0, (int)y0, (int)x1 - (int)x0, (int)y1 - (int)y0); } *** devPS.c.orig Sun Jul 6 21:29:03 1997 --- devPS.c Tue Jul 29 17:01:05 1997 *************** *** 433,438 **** --- 433,439 ---- } if(fg != NA_INTEGER) { SetColor(fg); + SetLinetype(GP->lty); PostScriptOpenRectangle(psfp, x0, y0, x1, y1); } } *** plot.c.orig Tue Jul 29 16:43:34 1997 --- plot.c Tue Jul 29 16:51:02 1997 *************** *** 875,880 **** --- 875,883 ---- GSavePars(); + if(nlty && INTEGER(lty)[i % nlty] != NA_INTEGER) GP->lty = INTEGER(lty)[i % nlty]; + else GP->lty = DP->lty; + xl = REAL(sxl); xr = REAL(sxr); yb = REAL(syb); Benjamin Bolker Dep't of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, ben@eno.princeton.edu Princeton University tel: (609) 258-6886, fax: (609) 258-1334 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
