[R-SIG-Mac] splots -- svn commit plotScreen.R - CORRECTED

Fri Sep 15 01:09:01 CEST 2006

The following modification has been introduced. The code committed to 
BioC svn as revision 19830, please update. The tarball will take several 
days until the build system runs through. Thanks all for pointing out to 
the solution:

80: grid.rect(0.5, 0.5, 1, 1, gp = gpar(col = abris, fill = "transparent"))

Best,
Oleg
