R help - Oct 2012 - scatterplot with wrong line offset

Hi All,

I'm trying to do a Scatterplot (package: car), and add a line (just for
reference).

There is my code:
#------------------------------------Code---------------------------------------------------
library("car")
library("calibrate")
G_T<-c("car","bike","boat")
ave<-c(80,10,45)
perf<-c(100,80,75)
df2<-data.frame(G_T,ave,perf)

scatterplot(ave ~ perf, data=df2,smoother=FALSE,xlim=c(0,100),ylim=c(0,100))
textxy(df2$perf,df2$ave, df2$G_T)

#The wrong offset begin here.
grid()
lines(x=c(0,40),y=c(20,20),type="l")
#---------------------------------------------------------Code
end---------------------------------------------

Here is the plot:
<http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n4647202/Offset_Scatterplot.png> 

My problem is that the line should start at (0,20) and end at (40,20) , and
it has a offset...
What should i do? 

Thanks
Francisco

Dear Francisco,
>From ?scatterplot:
"reset.par: 	if TRUE then plotting parameters are reset to their previous
values when scatterplot exits; if FALSE then the mar and mfcol parameters are
altered for the current plotting device. Set to FALSE if you want to add
graphical elements (such as lines) to the plot."

Best,
 John
