R help - Aug 2007 - Question about sm.options & sm.survival

Hi, there:

It's my first time to post question in this forum, so thanks for your
tolerance if my question is too naive. I am using a nonparametric smoothing
procedure in sm package to generate smoothed survival curves for continuous
covariate. I want to truncate the suvival curve and only display the part
with covariate value between 0 and 7. The following is the code I wrote:

sm.options(list(xlab="log_BSI_min3_to_base", xlim=c(0,7),
ylab="Median
Progression Prob"))
sm.survival(min3.base.prog.cen[,3],min3.base.prog.cen[,2],min3.base.prog.cen[,1],h=sd(min3.base.prog.cen[,3]),status.code=1
)

But the xlim option does not work. Can anyone help me with this problem?
Thanks a lot.

Rachel

The help page suggests that you need to use xlim as an inline option (part 
of ...). Following the help page example
> sm.survival(x, y, status, h=2, xlim=c(0,4))
works.  So I think you need to follow the help page exactly.
