I feel dirty.
I have some graphs I'm building to communicate chargeback rates and service usage for our backup system here at the University of Florida. These come down to daily data points on a graph of number-of-bytes transferred and stored. Since we chargeback on the same basis (price per MB this, price per KB that) the same chart with a different scale can be used to communicate bytes and dollars. I set about trying to accomplish this like so: http://nersp.nerdc.ufl.edu/~asr/media/r-foo/try1.png Those axes are a little messy. I tried nudging them around http://nersp.nerdc.ufl.edu/~asr/media/r-foo/try2.png which is better but not good. What I really want to do is tell my axis() function to reverse the tick direction: put your ticks and labels "inside" the graph. Something like http://nersp.nerdc.ufl.edu/~asr/media/r-foo/dirty-hack.png which I accomplished by telling axis() 'line=-47.7'. Eugh. Note that the distance between the left side and the right is different between the right side to the left. :) I don't particularly object to this, when you abuse a tool in this manner you need to expect oddities. I've wandered through the mailing list logs, and haven't seen reference to this particular desire. Am I alone? :) - Allen S.
