Not true: try xlim=c(-2,2) in your example. > Is there a way to > automatically set > xlim and ylim when asp has been set to 1? > For example: > #This is a box of the plot ranges I want: > boxxy=rbind(c(-1,2),c(-1,-1),c(1,-1),c(1,2),c(-1,2)) > #Without asp=1 I get what I want (i.e. I can't see the box because it > #overlays with the axis > plot(boxxy,type="l",xaxs="i",yaxs="i",xlim=c(-1,1), ylim=c(-1,2)) > # When I add asp=1 I can see the box > plot(boxxy,type="l",xaxs="i",yaxs="i",xlim=c(-1,1), ylim=c(-1,2),asp=1) And you must be able to, since the plot region is not in ratio 2:3 on any standard graphics device. R is doing sensible things, and you have not told us what you want, just made a false assertion. Perhaps you could try to explain what it is you actually want to do? You cannot set the aspect ratio, the plot region and xlim and ylim simultaneously: once you have three the fourth is (partially) determined. I suspect you intended to set the plot region ... see An Introduction to R. -- Brian D.
