First, even if you must post via Nabble, please do keep context.
Now, as to your question: I think I now understand; you want control
over the line type of the radial grid. You're correct; that's not
currently possible with radial.plot(), but it's easy to modify the
function and you can probably nudge Jim Lemon to make the change.
In the meantime, here's a fix you can apply yourself:
1. Save the function code (either get the source or just use
capture.output:
capture.output(radial.plot, file = "rp.txt")
2. Edit the function; find the following two lines:
polygon(xpos, ypos, border = grid.col, col = grid.bg)
segments(0, 0, xpos, ypos, col = grid.col)
and add the argument 'lty = grid.lty' to each.
Then add 'grid.lty = 1' to the function arguments.
Save the modified function as myradial.plot and source()
it into your R session and then use it with whatever
grid.lty setting you prefer.
