# 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:

```{r load, eval = FALSE}

install.packages("default")

library(default)

```

```{r load_secret, echo = FALSE}

library (default)

```

##### boring old defaults

```{r boring}

hist(iris$Sepal.Width)

```

##### exciting new defaults

```{r exciting}

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

```

```{r exciting_plot}

hist(iris$Sepal.Width)

```

##### you can still change the arguments

```{r change}

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

```

##### and restore the original defaults

```{r restore}

hist.default <- reset_default(hist.default)

hist(iris$Sepal.Width)

```
