Hello, I am using the polar.plot function from plotrix. Is there a way to change the width of the grid lines? grid.lwd doesn't work....

See the recent discussion about changing the line _type_ in radial.plot() where I gave suggestions to change two lines in radial.plot(). Change the same two lines by adding 'lwd = grid.lwd' to each and adding the argument 'grid.lwd = 1' to the function arguments. Save the edited function as 'myradial.plot', say. Then edit the function polar.plot by replacing the single instance of 'radial.plot' with 'myradial.plot' and save the edited version as 'mypolar.plot', say. Now use mypolar.plot() with whatever grid.lwd value suits your purpose. Peter Ehlers

Hi Martin, At the moment, there is no option for changing the width of the grid lines. However, I have had a statistically significant cluster of requests for various features like this in different functions of the plotrix package and am considering a major rewrite of many of the functions in plotrix. If the idea I have turns out to be successful and I can actually find the time to do the reprogramming, it will solve most of these "feature" problems without bloating the functions with too many arguments or making the specification of the arguments too difficult for the average user. Keep your eyes open for an announcement. Jim
