Subject: [Rd] default symbol in plots changed in R-Devel for windows
Message-ID: <3C025EF0.EB57EAE4@statistik.uni-dortmund.de>

I did some test on WinXP and of course one of these was compiling and
starting R (good "news": It works).

To my surprise the default plotting character changed from the well
known empty circle to a black *FILLED* circle in the windows and bitmap
devices, but not so on the postscript and pdf devices.

Taking a closer look to more symbols shows that some symbols changed
from filled to unfilled ones and others from unfilled to filled. Is this
intended or just a fact the status "in development" of R-1.4.0?
Or maybe it is an interaction with the changes on transparent
backgrounds?

It happens with R
 Version 1.4.0 Under development (unstable) (2001-11-25)
on Windows NT 4.0 (SP6) and Windows XP, but not so on Solaris.

Best,
Uwe
