Dear All: good morning



within this code, please see below,


plot(0:1.0, 0:1.0, type = "n",  yaxs = "i", xaxs = "i", xaxt = "n", yaxt =
"n", xlab = "Age", ylab = "Distance (ft)",  cex.lab=1.5)
grid(nx = 10, ny = 10, col = "lightgray", lty = "dotted", lwd = 2)



Is there a way to force R to add the following Axis ticks to this plot


xticks <- c(15,25,35,45,55,65,75,85)
yticks <- c(300,400,500,600)



with many thanks
abou

See ?plot.default, where it says:

axes

a logical value indicating whether both axes should be drawn on the plot.
Use graphical parameter
<http://127.0.0.1:29349/help/library/graphics/help/graphical%20parameter>
"xaxt" or "yaxt" to suppress just one of the axes.
 and use the "at" argument of ?axis to draw the axis and add ticks where
you like.

Cheers,
Bert

Hi Abou,
You can't display an axis if it is not in the range of the plot. I
think you want:

plot(0,type="n",yaxs="i",xaxs="i",xaxt="n",yaxt="n",xlim=c(15,85),
 ylim=c(300,600),xlab="Age",ylab="Distance (ft)",cex.lab=1.5)
grid(nx = 10, ny = 10, col = "lightgray", lty = "dotted", lwd = 2)
xticks <- c(15,25,35,45,55,65,75,85)
yticks <- c(300,400,500,600)
axis(1,at=xticks)
axis(2,at=yticks)

Note the addition of xlim and ylim arguments.

Jim
