[R] behaviour of plot(...,type="l")

[Kjetil Kjernsmo]

Dear all,

I have a problem that I guess may be related, it haven't really bothered
me too much, so I thought it is just me, but it is a bit strange, and
while we're talking about it: 

I have 
> par()$type
[1] "p"
and, if I do 
> plot(1:5)
I get a plot with points, so far so good. Then, I go 
> par(type="l")
> plot(1:5)
but it's still points. It should have been a line, shouldn't it?
> plot(1:5, type="l")
gives a line, and 
> par("type")
[1] "l"
(ahem, yes, I re-RTFM at this point)

So, is it me, or....?

Best,

Kjetil
