Hi The behaviour of the third argument of par(mgp), which controls the placement of the axis ticks, is not working. In the following example, the plots should NOT be identical; the axis ticks plus the axis major line should be drawn one line out from the edges of the plot region. par(mfrow=c(2,1)) plot(1:10) par(mgp=c(3,1,1)) plot(1:10) Paul <<insert bug report here>> --please do not edit the information below-- Version: platform = sparc-sun-solaris2.7 arch = sparc os = solaris2.7 system = sparc, solaris2.7 status = Under development (unstable) major = 1 minor = 3.0 year = 2001 month = 02 day = 18 language = R Search Path: .GlobalEnv, package:ctest, Autoloads, package:base -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
