G'day A quick followup is that it doesn't always happen. I managed to reproduce it on a fresh start-up by adding the two lines indicated by arrows try this: x<-1:10 y<-sin(x) #yes I know it's an under sampled function -> plot(x,y) ###These two lines are required to reproduce the -> lines(x,y) ### behaviour xyplot(y~x) lines(x,y) #at this point the lines do not lay on the xypoints spline(x,y) points(x,y) # in my installation the points(x,y) do not lay on the xyplot points John Walker -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help 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 !)
