Actually, I misspoke. I believe the following is the voodoo you want for
exactly recovering the original xlimit:
plot.window( xlim = range( par('usr')[1:2] ), xaxs = 'i', ylim = range(
density(x)$y ))
Basically, par('xaxp')[1:2] only returns the extreme values of the tick
marks on the original x-axis-- using these can still cause points not to
line up. par('usr')[1:2] returns the coordinates of the left and right edges
of the plot screen. setting xaxs to 'i' causes R to use the xlimit exactly
as given and not to pad it by 4% in an attempt to make it "pretty".
Good luck!
