If anyone in R-devel is having trouble seeing the point of this, try this little example with the new code of Brian's:
dat <- data.frame(x1=1:20, x2 = sample(1:20), y = rnorm(20)+1:20) fm <- lm(y ~ x1+x2, dat) par(mfrow = c(2,2)) termplot(fm, se = T, partial.resid = T) termplot(fm, se = T, partial.resid = T, ylim = "common") Bill Venables CSIRO Laboratories PO Box 120, Cleveland, 4163 AUSTRALIA Office Phone (email preferred): +61 7 3826 7251 Fax (if absolutely necessary): +61 7 3826 7304 Mobile: +61 4 8819 4402 Home Phone: +61 7 3286 7700 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cmis.csiro.au/bill.venables/ -----Original Message----- From: Prof Brian Ripley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 2 July 2007 9:11 PM To: Venables, Bill (CMIS, Cleveland) Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Rd] termplot with uniform y-limits On Mon, 2 Jul 2007, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Precisely.

I can't Yes, that was the intention (to go into R-devel).
