data(corporate.payment) cp <- corporate.payment$Amount plot(cp, select = "digits", except = "digits") plot(cp, select = "none", except = "all")

select should override except. Whenever both are provided, there should be a warning message saying that except will be ignored.
select = "none" should not be an option
except = "all" should not be an option

Yes, it is simpler to have an argument that overrides the other. In this case, select. The behavior should be documented and also there should be a warning explaining the behavior.
