Greetings, Folks. I'd appreciate being shown the way out of this one! I've been round the documentation in ever-drecreasing circles, and along other paths, without stumbling on the answer.
The background to the question can be exemplified by the example (no graphics window open to start with): set.seed(54321) X0 <- rnorm(50) ; Y0 <- rnorm(50) par(mfrow=c(2,1),mfg=c(1,1),cex=0.5) plot(X0,Y0,pch="+",col="blue",xlim=c(-3,3),ylim=c(-3,3), xlab="X",ylab="Y",main="My Plot",asp=1) par(mfg=c(2,1)) plot(X0,Y0,pch="+",col="blue",xlim=c(-3,3),ylim=c(-3,3), xlab="X",ylab="Y",main="My Plot",asp=1) As you will see, both plots have been extended laterally to fill the plotting area horizontally, hence extend from approx X = -8 to approx X = +8 (on my X11 display), despite the xlim=c(-3,3); however, the "ylim=c(-3,3)" has been respected, as has "asp=1". What I would like to see, independently of the shape of the graphics window, is a pair of square plots, each with X and Y ranging from -3 to 3, even if this leaves empty space in the graphics window on either side. Hints? With thanks, Ted. -------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <[email protected]> Fax-to-email: +44 (0)870 094 0861 Date: 08-Sep-10 Time: 20:01:19 ------------------------------ XFMail ------------------------------ ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
