Hi, I am having some hard time figuring how to access (and modify) the properties of an object created by ggplot. I found 'ggopts', but it only returns some of the properties. Say I want to get the x- and y-axis limits, the tickmark locations, legend current position, the legend box and background color and set them to new values. Are these properties easily accessible (and modifiable) from the object? Here is an example library(ggplot2) pobj <- ggplot(data = movies[1:300,], aes(x = year, y = length, size rating)) + geom_point() + opts(legend.position = c(0.2,0.9)) Regards, TL
