R: Auxiliary Function to Set/View Defaults for Arguments of...

windows.options {grDevices} | R Documentation

## Auxiliary Function to Set/View Defaults for Arguments of windows()

### Description

The auxiliary function `windows.options` can be used to set or view (if called without arguments) the default values for the arguments of `windows`.

`windows.options` needs to be called before calling `windows`, and the default values it sets can be overridden by supplying arguments to `windows`.

### Usage

    windows.options(..., reset = FALSE)

### Arguments

`...` | arguments `width`, `height`, `pointsize`, `record`, `rescale`, `xpinch`, `ypinch`, `bg`, `canvas`, `gamma`, `xpos`, `ypos`, `buffered`, `restoreConsole`, `clickToConfirm`, `title`, `fillOddEven` and `antialias` can be supplied.
`reset` | logical: should the defaults be reset to their ‘factory-fresh’ values?

### Details

If both `reset = TRUE` and `...` are supplied the defaults are first reset to the ‘factory-fresh’ values and then the new values are applied.

Option `antialias` applies to screen devices (`windows`, `win.graph`, `X11` and `x11`). There is a separate option, `bitmap.aa.win`, for bitmap devices with `type = "windows"`.

### Value

A named list of all the defaults. If any arguments are supplied the returned values are the old values and the result has the visibility flag turned off.

### See Also

`windows`, `ps.options`.

### Examples

    ## Not run:
    ## put something like this is your .Rprofile to customize the defaults
    setHook(packageEvent("grDevices", "onLoad"),
            function(...)
                grDevices::windows.options(width = 8, height = 6,
                                           xpos = 0, pointsize = 10,
                                           bitmap.aa.win = "cleartype"))

    ## End(Not run)
