I understand that in any plot x and y axis grow is increasing order, however I am wondering whether I can manipulate this to suit my above particular problem, so that number displayed in x-axis would be in the given order.

Putting x-axis in opposite order

Actually, it is plotting the points in the decreasing order. See: plot(xx) Are you looking to reverse the x axis? Perhaps you will find an answer in either ?par or ?axis. On Thu, Apr 28, 2011 at 2:09 PM, Bogaso Christofer

Hi Bogaso, If all else fails, have a look at rev.axis in the plotrix package. Jim
