Thanks, but even with axis() I can't get the x-axis to extend to the sides.
Try, e.g., x = rnorm(1000) you should have some values in excess of 3 (or below -3). I want to draw the x-axis from -4 to 4, thus encapsulating all points. axis(1,-4:4) but it won't draw. It TRIES to draw it, but I don't see a -4 or 4 on the plot. ----- Original Message ----- From: Thomas Lumley Sent: 6/17/2004 9:53:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [R] disappointed with x-axes in hist and density plots > On Thu, 17 Jun 2004, Rishi Ganti wrote: > > > I've got a few issues with the x-axes in the histogram and density plots.
