Dear Shige, This is a feature that lets you view information about the specific data you are viewing. If you merely want a visual adjustment, use coord_cartesian():
year.plot + stat_summary(fun.y = "mean", geom = "line") + coord_cartesian(xlim = c(0, 0.1)) HTH, Josh On Tue, Nov 2, 2010 at 5:20 PM, Shige Song <shiges...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear Josh and Abhijit, > > Thanks for the help.
