I'm using barplot with the following call: barplot(stat_data[[5]][,],axes=TRUE,axisnames=TRUE,axis.lty=1,xlab=xlab,ylab=ylab,beside=TRUE,las=1,font.lab=2,font.axis=1,legend.text=TRUE) On some data, the vertical axis does not cover the whole plot area and the last tick mark is smaller than the maximum value. I tried setting the ylim values but even with that, some plots are still not OK, it just shrinks the length of the bars. Attached is a png example of the problem. I hope it gets through. Thanks, Etienne __________________________________________________ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The example is not reproducible and poorly formatted. Please read the posting guide.

R tries to make the plot pretty, i.e. stop with some tick mark like 200, but not e.g. 242. Perhaps you want to make a box() around the plot? Uwe Ligges
