Disappearing x axis in plot.factor (PR#830)

Hi.

While there is an x-axis set up for:

plot.factor(factor(1:3))

this axis is not present for

plot.factor(factor(1:3), col="red")

which actually should just be the same as the first plot and call
barplot(table(.)), shouldn't it?  Where did the ticks and labels go?

Note that

barplot (table(factor(1:3)), col="red")

has the x-axis.

Something funky is going on with axisnames or args in plot.factor that
I can't figure out.  The situation can be remedied with

plot.factor(factor(1:3), col="red", axes=TRUE)

alas, why do you need "axes=TRUE"?

Regards,

Now the (actually not so) funny thing is that the labels for the
x-axis disappear when I specify colors for the bars.  (R 1.2.1, Linux)
Ok, maybe the other thing I'll have to catch up on is the docu...

The logic around "axisnames" in plot.factor looks not quite right.
Could you file a bug report on this so that we dont forget?

barplot(table(factor(1:3)),col="green")
plot(factor(1:3),col="green",axes=T)

both work, although the latter is clearly silly.
