Thanks, Katharine! Your suggestion is probably simple enough. However, my modification below is needed to do what is required (yours labels the tick-marks at 200,400,600,800,1000; mine does it at 0,200,400,600,800,1000). Thanks, and best wishes, Ted. On 30-Nov-07 13:19:32, Katharine Mullen wrote:

Ted, I don't think you can include the axis ticks in plot(), but you can specify them in axis() using plot(x,y,xlim=c(0,1000), axes=F) box() axis(1,at=seq(0,1000,50),labels=F) axis(1,at=seq(0,1000,200),labels=T) Obviously, if you want this to be variable for different xlim etc, your simplest ans
