Subject: Using strwidth before plotting
In the plotcorr() function in the ellipse package, I want to position
things differently depending on the size of the labels. I can use
strwidth to find out the length of the labels, but only when there's a
plot window open: it won't open one.
Question: What function call says: make sure there's a window open
(i.e. do what plot() does before it starts plotting)?
I don't think I can use plot.new() or frame(), because I don' t want
to leave a blank page in the plot history if there was already a
window open.
