Hi Jim,
I tried points(-1,-1) before lines() and before clip(), but either way, it
still shows everything, :-(
It's interesting that the examples with hist() provided by the R help of clip
function works nicely.
I also tried a simple linear regression plots below, clip() works, too.
dat<-data.frame(x=1:10,y=1:10)
fit<-lm(y~x,dat)
plot(1:10)
abline(fit)
xylim<-par("usr")
clip(6,xylim[2],xylim[3],xylim[4])
abline(fit,col=2) ## yes, it only shows the fit line from 6 to the right
lines(c(2,8),c(5,5)) ## yes, it only shows the line from 6 to the right
So it's puzzling that only when using lines() with a survfit() object (ovarian
example below), somehow clip() doesn't work

Hi John,
I should have remembered this. For some reason, the clip() function
doesn't operate until you have issued a graphics command. Try:
points(-1,-1)
before calling lines()
