R help - May 2010 - Supressing axes 3 and 4 when using plot()

Is there a way of doing this? I'm using plot() to produce a scatter of
my data, but it routinely defaults to plotting 2 sets of x axes and 2
y axes. I'd like to not plot the upper and rightmost axes. I can use
'axes=F', and then manually add axes with 'axis', but then the
newly
created axes do not intercept.

TIA,

Dan

Cou could add a box if i understand the problem correctly

box()

Use bty="L", e.g.

plot(1, bty="L")

See ?par for other possible values.

Hi Dan,
You may find the the fullaxis function in the plotrix package does what 
you want.
