[R] multiple functions with three dots

[Greg Snow]

You can try something like:

>a <- 1:5
>b <- 6:10
>d <- 3:7

>example <- function(x,y, z, ..., plot.dots, points.dots){
   plot.list <- list(x=x,y=y)
   plot.list <- c(plot.list,list(...), as.list(plot.dots))
   do.call(plot, plot.list)

   points.list <- list(x=x,y=z)
   points.list <- c(points.list, list(...), as.list(points.dots) )
   do.call(points, points.list)

}

>example(a,b,d, pch=0, plot.dots=list(cex=2),
points.dots=list(col='green'))

Hope this helps,
