R help - Oct 2008 - "plot": Howto get parameters befor plotting anything?

Hello,

Is it possible to get all "par" content calculated for
"plot" without actually plotting anything? I'm missing an option
"plot=FALSE" ... "type="n"" will still open a
device and draw the axes ...

Thanks, Joh

par()

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.

Hi,

I believe you could use plot.window(xlim,ylim,...), followed by par().  
In any case, the code of plot.default should inspire you (note that  
it's calling plot.new(), for instance).
