identifying what labels have been created in a plot
It might be easier to generate the plot without the y-axis and then add you data with 'axis' using whatever tick marks you want.

Colleagues R 2.8.0; OS X, Vista, Ubuntu Linux In some instances, when I create a graphic using plot(XVAR, YVAR), it would be valuable to know the values that R will display on the y-axis (e.g., if the range of data is 0-70, it might display 0, 10, 30, 50, 70). Is there a simple means to access these values? Also, in some instances, additional ticks appear between the displayed values (in this case, at 20, 40, 60). Can I obtain the list of the positions of all ticks? Access to this information permits me to tailor the ticks and labels in a particular manner. Thanks for any suggestions.
