Dear R People:
In case anyone is interested, here are some of the answers
I received regarding tick marks:
plot(0,0)
axis(1, pos=0)
axis(2, pos=0)

Here is an example of drawing a cubic with axes in the middle of the
plot.
# Draw the basic curve (limits were established by trial and error).
# The axes are turned off blank axis labels used.
curve(x * (2 * x - 3) * (2 * x + 3), from = -1.85, to = 1.85,
xlim = c(-2, 2), ylim = c(-10, 10),
axes = FALSE, xlab = "", ylab = "")
# Draw the axes at the specified positions (crossing at (0, 0)).
# The ticks positions are specified (those at (0,0) are omitted).
# Note the use of las=1 to produce horizontal tick labels on the
# vertical axis.
axis(1, pos = 0, at = c(-2, -1, 1, 2))
axis(2, pos = 0, at = c(-10, -5, 5, 10), las = 1)
# Use the mathematical annotation facility to label the plot.
title(main = expression(italic(y==x * (2 * x - 3) * (2 * x + 3))))

Thanks again to all!
Sincerely,
Erin
