I noticed I was remiss in addressing your origin question: Use the xlim and ylim, setting the lower limit to 0. Here's an example of this with the CO2 dataset:
plot(uptake~Plant, data=CO2) plot(uptake~as.numeric(Plant), data=CO2) plot(uptake~as.numeric(Plant), data=CO2, ylim=c(0, 50), xlim=c(0, 14)) Cheers,Tyler ---------------------------------------- > From: tyler_rin...@hotmail.com > To: kellycoo...@yahoo.com; r-help@r-project.org > Date: Mon, 14 May 2012 16:31:26 -0400 > Subject: Re: [R] Plot > > > > That is likely because ferm is a factor.
