Error : unused arguments in pairs()

Dear Prof. Ripley,

thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately I still was not able to solve the problem.
I tried it with the Iris data and you can find the code below:
{
      usr <- par("usr"); on.exit(par(usr))
    par(usr = c(0, 1, 0, 1))
    r <- abs(cor(x, y))
    txt <- format(c(r, 0.123456789), digits=digits)[1]
    txt <- paste(prefix, txt, sep="")
    if(missing(cex.cor)) cex.cor <- 0.8/strwidth(txt)
    text(0.5, 0.5, txt, cex = cex.cor * r)
  }
 
 pairs(iris[1:4], main = "Anderson's Iris Data -- 3 species",
      pch = 21, bg = c("red", "green3", "blue")[unclass(iris$Species)],
lower.panel=panel.cor )

What I would ideally like to have is that the upper panel shows the plot
with the iris$Species color coded and the lower panel showing the
correlation coefficients  for the total data in the plot, but also for the
each iris$Species with the same color code as in the upper panels.
So the lower panel should therefore actually show 4 correlation coefficients
in each panel (color coded); It does not need to be sized according to the
value of the correlation coefficient as shown in the example above.
Any help with this would be appreciated a lot,

Kind regards,

Herwig
