"lim" is not the argument: "ylim" is. You put in a vector of length 2 comprising the min and max y you wish: consider this:
x = -5:5; y = x^2; z = rep(-5,11); layout(1:2) plot(x,y,type="b"); lines(x,z,col=2) plot(x,y,ylim = c(-8,max(y)+3),type="b"); lines(x,z,col=2) For your work, you'd need ylim = c(0, 1.03*max(y)) or something similar.
