My apologies; I did not use exactly his code. I usually plot
directly to postscript files. Since when I manipulated the lty
argument, I got the expected results (via postscript), everything
seemed in order. It never occurred to me that postscript would not
give me the same view. I am very sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Christophe,
I am able to plot dashed circles on Windows. I'm afraid I do not
have any suggestions for you. What happens when you try to plot it
on Windows?
Were you using the same code as Christophe? I see what he saw: the
circle comes out with a solid line.

Hi all,
I use the symbol functions to draw circles. But the argument lty
does
not work on windows but works correctly on my macbook:
x <- -4:4
y <- -4:4
plot(x,y,type="n")
symbols(0, 0, add = TRUE, circles = 1, inches = 1, fg="black",
lty="solid")
symbols(0, 0, add = TRUE, circles = 1, inches = 2, fg="black",
lty="dashed")
The second circle should be drawn with dash... it works on my
macbook
but on my PC.
I use R 2.9.0 on windows xp home and mac os 10.5.
Does anyone have this problem? is it a limitation of windows?
thanks in advance
Christophe
