default

change the default arguments in R functions.

Tired of always typing out the same old arguments to functions? Use default() to set your favourite arguments as the defaults.

Example:

install.packages("default")
library(default)

boring old defaults

hist(iris$Sepal.Width)

exciting new defaults

default(hist.default) <- list(col = "deeppink", border = "white", ylab = "", main = "")

hist(iris$Sepal.Width)

you can still change the arguments

hist(iris$Sepal.Width, col = "limegreen")

and restore the original defaults

hist.default <- reset_default(hist.default)
hist(iris$Sepal.Width)
