[R] graphics

[Jim Lindsey]

I have been receiving complaints that my libraries no longer give
reasonable graphics with R0.90. I have been replying that I have not
changed anything. Among my travels (presently in Umea), I have finally
had a chance to take a look. The best way to describe the current
default graphics is HORRIBLY UGLY. The R core member who made those
changes should buy glasses to see the screen better instead of
imposing his near sightedness on the rest of us. The worst is that the
most important options that have been modified are RO so we can do
nothing. As PS graphics are also knackered, we currently have no way
of viewing a reasonable graph produced by R.
  I was already systematically resetting the margins to be narrower,
as they were before the summer of 1998, before each plotting
session. Now the margins take half the window.
  Is there any way to set the default par options, say in Rprofile,
without having a graphics window pop up at startup?
  Thanks. Jim
