[R] abline outside of plot region
Hi R people. I ran into this problem: I created a plot with errbars, like this: errbar(x=c(1,2,3,4), y=c(2,1,3,3), yminus=c(1.5,0.5,2.5,2.5), yplus=c(2.5,1.5,3.5,3.5)) Next, I wanted to accentuate some x value with an abline, like this: abline(v=2) In one of my R sessions (which admittedly I have had open for quite a while now), the abline draws outside of the plotting region of errbars (till the edge of my plotting window at least). I tested for the cause by opening another session (clean) of the same version of R (2.13), and running the same set of commands. In this session, I do not have this behavior. Conclusion: I must have changed some graphical parameter in my original session, but I don't know which one. Do you? As an addendum: I also want to add a few specific axis ticks besides the standard ones in my graph. I used axis for this, and it works. I set col.ticks to match the color of my abline (in the nonsimplified code), and this works too, but unfortunately, the label below the tick is not in this color, and a parameter for this is not present in axis. Suggestions for either? Note: I'm on windows 7 with R 2.13.

plot(1:4, xaxt='n')
axis(1, at=2:3, lab=c('a', 'b'),
col.ticks=3, col.axis=2, lwd=0, lwd.ticks=1)
par(xpd = TRUE)
abline(v = 4)

Conclusion: I must have changed some graphical parameter in my original session, but I don't know which one. Do you? SNIP I think what has happened is not that *you* changed some graphical parameter, but rather that the package Hmisc did. In a rather strange way. (I *presume* that you are using the errbar() function out of Hmisc rather than out of the sfsmisc package --- you didn't say). For a while I thought that the problem was associated with the *installation* of Hmisc, becomes it seemed to happen only on the first occasion after I did the install, and on later occasions (quit from R, restart, load Hmisc, try errbar and abline) the problem did not occur. But then, about the third time I tried the re-install, the problem never happened at all. But it ***did*** happen, a couple of times. So you're not imagining it, you'll be pleased to know. I think that if it *does* happen to you again, you can fix it by setting par(xpd=FALSE) I checked on par()$xpd a couple of times when the problem occurred, and got NA, which is consistent with the observed problem. The whole thing is weird, but.
