You might want to look at the pretty function. The code that I have seen often calls that function for the creation of axis tick levels with min and max as arguments. And its help page suggests that axTicks may give you exactly what you were seeking.

In some instances, when I create a graphic using plot(XVAR, YVAR), it would be valuable to know the values that R will display on the y- axis (e.g., if the range of data is 0-70, it might display 0, 10, 30, 50, 70). Is there a simple means to access these values?

Also, in some instances, additional ticks appear between the displayed values (in this case, at 20, 40, 60). Can I obtain the list of the positions of all ticks?

Access to this information permits me to tailor the ticks and labels in a particular manner.

Thanks for any suggestions.
