Hi, I am looking for a way to modify the basic setup for any kind of plot. (everything that is set with the par function – like margins, cex, las etc.)
I want to do this once – preferably across R sessions and not individually before every plot. My first attempt was to add a par() with all my own defaults to the .Rprofile file. This obviously does not work because par opens a new drawing device, applying its effect only to this device. My next attempt was to write my own version of all basic plot functions (like plot, barplot etc.) adding a par() call within these functions. This works but only if I draw a single plot. As soon as I want to use mfrow or layout to draw multiple plots side by side into one device this version also does not work, since each of these functions will open a new drawing device by themselves. So, my question is; Is there any way to globally define parameters given to par() so that they apply to all plots in (at least) an entire R-session?
