I'm afraid it's not possible to resize existing axis, by mouse. But if you want to add the another plot with differnet scale, you could do it this way: plot(...) # you normally plot 1st graph par(new = TRUE) # 2nd graph won't clean the frame plot(..., axes = FALSE, xlab = "", ylab = "") # plotting 2ng graph axis(4) > how to add (or change) axis labels on an existing plot, etc. You can plot without axes plot(..., axes = FALSE), then add axes, with labels or not, ticks with any length, and so on. > Can anyone point me to a suitable tutorial, or even tell me how to > perform those tasks? help(plot.default) help(par) > Also, Matlab's graphical widget has the ability to zoom (and unzoom) by > drawing a rectangle on the graph with the mouse. Is there anything similar > in R? Probably there are R packages perfoming such a thing, but I do not use R interactively at all. I change xlim() and/or ylim() in R script, and source() it again :) -- WBR, Timur ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
