A few problems ... This statement doesn't make sense. seq(-0.08, -0.02, len = -0.02) Perhaps you meant seq(-0.08, -0.02, by = 0.02)
The xlim= and ylim= are arguments to higher level plot functions, like plot(), and won't work for functions lines() or abline(). Are you trying to limit the range of the predicted line on the graph? If so, perhaps the following simple example will help. # randomly generate some fake data CWSI <- rnorm(20, sd=0.1) NWI <- rnorm(20, sd=0.1) # linear regression reg1 <- lm(CWSI~NWI) # show predicted line for small segment newNWI <- seq(-0.08, -0.02, by = 0.02) plot(NWI, CWSI) lines(newNWI, predict(reg1, list(NWI = newNWI))) Jean On Mon, Oct 28, 2013 at 10:30 AM, Ahmed Attia <ahmedati...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi > > I have a question about drawing a linear line in x, y plot.
