[BioC] hexbin, par("usr"), legend

[Jenny Bryan]

Are there any plans for changing the behavior of "plot.hexbin"
w.r.t. the graphics parameters, especially 'par("usr")'?  The current
behavior makes it hard to add elements to the plot (which is a really
handy and attractive plot, I should add).  I know I can create a
type="n" plot of the x-range and y-range, use 'hexagons' to add the
hexagons, and add other elements to my heart's content .... but then
the legend for the hexagon colorramp becomes a difficulty (the
documentation is clear that the legend function is not really meant to
be called by a user, but only by "plot.hexbin").

Thanks,
Jenny
