I was able to hack the code in the polspline package in order to change the plot.polymars function so that I can set the limits of my y-axis. However, I was only able to do this by entering plot.polymars in R, copying the code to Word, changing what I needed, and then pasting the new code in R to redefine the polt.polymars function. I was able to successfully change the function, but now I would like to be able to insert this changed code into the polspline package so that I can use it with python. Is there any easy way to just copy and paste my hacked code in or do I need to go through a more complicated process? Sorry if this is a bit unclear--I'm not yet familiar with R-jargon so let me know if you have any questions.

Then run R CMD INSTALL to install it. It would also be polite to mention your changes to the package author and/or maintainer; they might incorporate them into the next release of it. Duncan Murdoch
