plot(1:3) # usual way to view plot(1:3, asp = 2) # convenient way to apply horizontal compression for visibility
plot(1:3, xlim = c(0, 4)) # but if you have information on what the graph looks like, you can manually apply the same horizontal compression Was I going through some sort of "gang initiation" because I'm new, and didn't know it? Phew, I'm glad it's over. Thanks for the help Spencer. On Aug 19, 2010, at 2:50 PM, Spencer Graves wrote: The documentation is not clear. It would help if it had an example like the following: plot(1:2, 1:2/10) plot(1:2, 1:2/10, asp=1) Does looking at these two plots answer the question?
