R help - Sep 2010 - how to show the number of each axis interval (plot)

Dear List,

I am using plot for homework.

The x-axis covered from 0 to 80, with 4 intervals.
However, the plot only showed 0, 40, 80.
20 and 60 disappeared.

Please kindly advise how to show 0, 20, 40, 60, 80 for the axis interval.

Thank you.

Elaine

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more
than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to
say what the experiment died of.
~ Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher

The plural of anecdote is not data.
~ Roger Brinner

The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not
ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of
data.

Hi,

The list is not made for helping students with their homeworks.
I will just tell you this: there are graphic parameters for every single 
detail on a plot. Take a look at ?par

You should ask your instructor or teaching assistant for help on homework.

  To be fair, there is one surprising wrinkle of the standard R graphics
interface.  If your plot window is sufficiently compressed that some labels
would overlap, those labels sometimes silently disappear.  If this is the
problem, then manually expanding the size of the plot window should make
those labels reappear -- or, in printed graphics, expanding the width
and height when you open the graphics device.  Alternatively you can
change the size of the axis labels.

 ?axis, ?par ...
