Hi,

Is there a way to use par to change the colours of the axes lines (not the
labels)? I've done this:

par(bg = "black")
plot(x, y, col = "yellow", pch = 16)

but I have to use

axes = F within the plot command, and then use

axis (1, col = "yellow")
axis (2, col = "yellow")

and so on for axes 3 & 4.

This does not help since the new axes are not of the same length as the
default 'box' that you get around a plot.

Thanks and cheers,
Umesh

I'd set
par(bg = "black", fg = "yellow")
at first and be happy, but if there is some reason why you want specific 
things to happen, it might make sense to tell us what exactly you are 
looking for.

You can use box() to draw a box.  So you can get yellow axes and box using

plot(1,1, axes=F)
axis(1, col="yellow")
axis(2, col="yellow")
box(col="yellow")

par() doesn't have an option for this.  plot() will use the default 
par("col") setting for the box, but that also affects the points being 
drawn.
