R help - Nov 2010 - Plot Axes

R community,

I am creating a bivariate return level plot by adding calculated return
period values as lines onto an existing plot using the following code with
the points representing the return periods.

plot(H2,D2,pch="+",axes=TRUE)
points(H.10,D.10, type="l",col="blue")
points(H.20,D.20, type="l",col="green")
points(H.50,D.50, type="l",col="red")
points(H.100,D.100, type="l",col="orange")

The problem is that my return period values are greater than the data values
and therefore are partially cut out of the plot.

How can I increase the axes limits in order to include all of the return
period lines?

I've tried ## xis(2,at=seq(35,max(D.100),by=20)) ## but it doesn't work.

Thanks,

Doug

apply the xlim/ylim in the initial plot

plot(..., xlim=range(H2, H.10, H.20, H.50, H.100), ylim=range(D2,
D.10, D.20, D.50, D.100))

What is the problem that you are trying to solve?

Thanks  Jim,

The next issue is how i get the RP lines to cut the axes. The lines either
cut the x axis at D=35 or the y axis at H=4.5.

How do I set the axes so that the lines start and end on the axes?
