Subject: lines() and recycled colours
Hi
?lines says
For 'type = "h"', 'col' can be a vector and will be recycled as
needed.
Why doesn't lines() recycle colours for other types?
If I type
> plot(0:1,0:1,type="n")
> lines(runif(11),runif(11),col=c("red","green"))
>
then all ten lines are red, with no warning given. Is there a reason
why
colour recycling would be a bad idea in this case?
Also, it would be nice if arguments such as lwd
were recycled if needed too.
