Hi, Is there a way to use par to change the colours of the axes lines (not the labels)? I've done this: par(bg = "black") plot(x, y, col = "yellow", pch = 16) but I have to use axes = F within the plot command, and then use axis (1, col = "yellow") axis (2, col = "yellow") and so on for axes 3 & 4. This does not help since the new axes are not of the same length as the default 'box' that you get around a plot.
You can use box() to draw a box. So you can get yellow axes and box using
plot(1,1, axes=F)
axis(1, col="yellow")
axis(2, col="yellow")
box(col="yellow")
par() doesn't have an option for this. plot() will use the default
par("col") setting for the box, but that also affects the points being
drawn.
