Try: > plot(.., bty='l')
Does that do what you want? (see the bty parameter in ?par for details) If you don't want the lines extending beyond the axes on the right and top then you could do something more like: > plot(5:10, 5:10, bty='n') > library(TeachingDemos) > lines(cnvrt.coords( c(0,0,.5), c(.5,0,0), input='plt')$usr) You may also get what you want by playing with the xaxp and yaxp parameters to par, but the bty='l' seems the easiest way to go. -- Gregory (Greg) L.
