R help - Feb 2001 - How to get xlim & ylim afterwards...

After plotting how can you get the x and y limits of the plot? I would
like to do something like:

  plot(x);
  plot.area <- plot.get.area();
  xlim <- plot.area$xlim;
  ylim <- plot.area$xlim;

Is there a "plot.get.area()" method? I need it to place my legends.

Thank you!

par("usr")
returns a vector with the upper and low ylim and upper and lower xlim on
the current device.
