[R] Probably dumb question about lists

[Bert Gunter]

1. Please in future specify the package (deldir here) that contains
the functions you refer to.

2. **Always** first try ?str before posting queries like this, as this
will often reveal the problem.

str(tl[1:800])

3. I would **guess** (ergo could well be wrong) that "[" is not
preserving the class attribute of tl. Ergo you are getting the basic
plot method and not the plot.tile.list method.

HTH.

Cheers,

Bert
