Hi all,

I am plotting data using the simple plot function:

plot(data$x, data$y)

which results in a standard plot with the axis origin in the lower left corner.

Since my data are screen coordinates I need mirrored axis so that the
origin for both axis is in the upper left corner; like this:

Anybody know how? I did not find any parameter when consulting the
help file. I assume its a more general parameter but where is that
documented?

Hi Ralf,
I don't know of any options or call to "par" that will change which axes are displayed. You can do what you want like this:

plot(...,xaxt="n")
axis(3,...)

unless you want to reverse the direction of the ordinate (y-axis). In that case, have a look at the revaxis function in the plotrix package.
