Hmm, then again, I tend to agree with Cornell that there are a bit too many cases where mgp[1:3]' would sensibly have differing sign, compared to cases where it is a mistake. In addition to internal tick marks and labels, there are also cases where the whole axis is shifted into the plot area. I'd more likely use axis(pos=...) for that, but still. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Ă˜ster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.
