When specifying an RGB colour in R, is there a strong reason not to accept 3-character HEX codes? In CSS and many other languages, a colour of "#ABC" is automatically converted to "#AABBCC", and I was wondering if R could support that as well, or if it was a conscious decision to not support it. --- http://deanattali.com [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
