R help - Jan 2010 - Same y-axis on multiple plots?

Greetings,

I am attempting to use R throug PL/R in PostgreSQL to make several graphs (they
show usage over time for radiochannels).

However, as some never go above 100 in a 24 hour period, and others go well over
500, they get different y-axis values (which normally would be a good thing).
However, as I want to overlay the graphs to add/remove channels in CSS on a
webpage, I need a set y-axis.

I have looked through the documentation, google and the mailinglist as ylim,
setting xpd=F and modifying clip, plot.window, but I can't seem to find what
I am looking for. I am certain that it is something simple, and would be
gratefull if someone could point me in the right direction.


R code run through PL/R in Postgres is as follows:

mymain <- "Graph 3";
myxlab <- "Time: 24/Hours";
myylab <- "Number of Hits";

png(''/tmp/graph3.png'');
plot(str,type="b",main=mymain,xlab=myxlab,ylab=myylab,lwd=2, axes=F,
ylim.max=0);
clip(0, 25, 0, 600);
axis(1, at = c(0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24));
axis(2, at = c(0, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600));
abline(h = c(100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600), lty=2);
mtext("Usage over a  24 hour period",side=3);
dev.off();



Contents of str structure:
str <-
structure(list(timeofday = 1:23, connections = c(116L, 87L, 51L, 
44L, 75L, 147L, 264L, 275L, 233L, 294L, 132L, 140L, 198L, 171L, 
248L, 226L, 257L, 246L, 210L, 189L, 180L, 238L, 303L)), .Names =
c("timeofday",
"connections"), row.names = c("1", "2",
"3", "4", "5", "6", "7",
"8", "9", "10", "11", "12",
"13", "14", "15", "16", "17",
"18",
"19", "20", "21", "22", "23"),
class = "data.frame")

Hi Andreas,
I didn't see an answer to your question, so I'll suggest that you take 
these warnings seriously:

Warning messages:
1: In plot.window(...) : "ylim.max" is not a graphical parameter
2: In plot.xy(xy, type, ...) : "ylim.max" is not a graphical parameter
3: In title(...) : "ylim.max" is not a graphical parameter

and try this:

plot(str,type="b",main=mymain,xlab=myxlab,ylab=myylab,lwd=2,
  axes=F,ylim=c(0,600))

as the plot command.
