Auxiliary Function to Set/View Defaults for Arguments of postscript
Description
The auxiliary function ps.options can be used to set or view
(if called without arguments) the default values for some of the
arguments to postscript.
ps.options needs to be called before calling postscript,
and the default values it sets can be overridden by supplying
arguments to postscript.
Usage
ps.options(..., reset = FALSE, override.check = FALSE)
setEPS(...)
setPS(...)
Arguments
... |
arguments |
reset |
logical: should the defaults be reset to their ‘factory-fresh’ values? |
override.check |
logical argument passed to
|
Details
If both reset = TRUE and ... are supplied the defaults
are first reset to the ‘factory-fresh’ values and then the new
values are applied.
For backwards compatibility argument append is accepted but
ignored with a warning.
setEPS and setPS are wrappers to set defaults
appropriate for figures for inclusion in documents (the default size
is 7 inches square unless width or height is supplied)
and for spooling to a PostScript printer respectively. For historical
reasons the latter is the ultimate default.
Value
A named list of all the previous defaults. If ... or
reset = TRUE is supplied the result has the visibility flag
turned off.

ps.options(bg = "pink")
utils::str(ps.options())
### ---- error checking of arguments: ----
ps.options(width = 0:12, onefile = 0, bg = pi)
# override the check for 'width', but not 'bg':
ps.options(width = 0:12, bg = pi, override.check = c(TRUE,FALSE))
utils::str(ps.options())
ps.options(reset = TRUE) # back to factory-fresh
